I had a thought today about turbos and accents. Would it be possible to take the exhaust manifold (and turbo, possibly) from a turbo scoupe and put it on the LC accent with the 1.6L? How different are the two engines (the 1.5 and the 1.6)? I only plan on running mild boost, like only 5-10 psi for now, so would i have to change a lot of the internals to cope with the extra stress?

 

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think the 1.6L is different enought that the turbo exhaust manifold will not bolt on.

The old 1.5L accents are the same exahust manifold pattern, so it work would for those engines.
