      • Displacement : 1,493 cc (91.1 cu in)
      • Bore and Stroke : 75 mm × 84.5 mm (3.0 in × 3.3 in)

i suggest building the engine and putting a turbo on it. then get it tuned.

that much of a power leap your probably going to be better off swapping to a GSR or JDM B16 I would suggest the GSR for the torque

yes they sell turbo kit's that allow you to keep your a/c. it's best to find a local shop that tunes ecu's. chrome is a good tune for a ecu

a little bit. it opens our valves more to allow more air/fuel in and it also allows you to rev farther. i think you should do some research on building your engine for turbo.
