thats what i was afraid of... i was wanting to find a car that got better mpg than mine but still fast and cheap

these are my plans for my 93 2.3 i would like to hear your input because from the posts ive read you guys seem to know what your talking about. so here i go.

im getting a 2.3 block and dual spark head from a friend
im planning a turbo motor but i dont want the swap that wouldnt give me quite the sense of of accomplishment as if i built one.
if i can use the dual spark head for a turbo application im going to run a mild cam double valve springs.
as for the block im gonna machine the block and add forged pistons and have them drill a hole for the oil feed to the turbo while there at it.
havnt made a choice on which turbo.
also i have a five speed behind my N/A and was wondering how much power it can handle a friend of mine who i think is full of shit he said the tranny is good to 150hp and i read an article on t-5s and it said 240lbs of torque. but those are my plans tell me what you think and what i should i add.

Just wondering, why do you want to use the dual-plug head?

[LXpat93]

if i use the dual plug head i dont have to go and find another head and rewire anymore then im gonna have to(@#$%ing hate wiring)because im planning on a megasquirt type system. my biggest concern is will the tranny hold up? I dont want a car like turbo lx's (which is awesome 9.6 out of a 4 banger thats amazing!!) but i wanna be able to run with the v8s and embarrass those stupid ricers with those exhaust that sound like a pissed of weed eater. If theres a way to do it N/A id be more then happy to go ahead and do that would prolly be easier on the wallet lol
