4AGE. Is it worth the trouble?
Hey

Got a hatchi Levin with a 4AGE 16v standard motor in it.
What i want to do is turbocharge it.
The question is, will it handle 200++ horsepower or are there any defects with this engine that would give me alot of problems by turbocharging it?
The engine is abit worn out for starters, so new sleeves, pistons and machining would be required anyhow.

See picture for engine referance.

Does anyone have experience with a turbosetup on a standard 4AGE engine? What did you do? Where did you order your parts? What DIDNT you do?

In short terms. I want to make this

Go like this

Results may variate.

Alternative is to get a hold of a 20v Blacktop and turbocharge that one.
What does AEU86 say? Tips hints and tricks are always welcome.

In advance. Thanks
