That's for an auto Lt. Yours is manual, so that's money off, and I'm not sure if its Ls or Lt so I went high.

Buy a turbo manifold for a b16/18, cut off the flange that goes to the engine. go to a machine shop and have them make a flange out of 1/2'' thick steel, in the size of the stock exhaust manifolds header. weld that (or have the machine shop weld that) onto the honda turbo manifold.
BOOOM bolt that on and you have a turbo( $300 if you shop around). now to make it functional....
Bigger injectors
Oil lines
Intercooler
intercooler piping
some form of fuel management.
And 100's+ little peices to make it work correctly
then your still saftley only getting like 150hp
In reality an engine swap with a full harness will likely be around the same price, with alot better result.
1st gen mazda6 3.0- 220hp, very compact
chevy cobalt- SS, turbo or supercharged, over 200hp. the 2.2 will fit aslo and give over 150
Cadillac Catera 3.0 v6 200hp havent measured this one, looks ok in size
Cruze/sonic 1.4t & 1.8, both fit, the 1.4t with some tuning and bolt ons, bigger intercooler i see at 170ish online
Suzuki Aerio 2.3l makes 155. measured a friends and it will clear
Any honda engine, they have tons of aftermarket available and are easy to find.
Pontiac grand prix gtp, buick gs 3800 v6 3.8 supercharged engines would be great, have not measued these, make between 240-260hp
Just gotta fab mounts, spend time to wire the harnesses, make the accessories work. alot more payout for you

ok chill i was wrong. you guys calm down. im not looking to resell my car its a p.o.s that i would never want anyone to drive lol. buttt thank you USA for the actually helpfull info. and pickles i dont under stand you sig picture...?
and mine is the ls. whats the difference between the two?
Trim line.
Lt has more options. And you can only get an auto with the lt
sooo it would prob be best to over look getting a turbo for this 1.6 L engine go with a HONDA that i know and love and rock out with my you know??
Also ive never done a engin swap.. but to me wouldnt i have to change the trans??? i just got a brand new one and i would hate to waist it but than again i still have to find a jdm engine that i trust.
yes to the trim levels. If you read the article ''riggin a header'' it explains how to use a Honda header on an aveo, you can do the same with a Honda turbo manifold. I see them for like $80 on eBay. You would need the donor cars tranny for a swap, but I got quoted 650 from a local junkyard for a Mazda 6 engine and tranny (76k, running, side damage on car, left axle is bad) I need the harness and a lot of other stuff from under the hood, and in the car really, but looks to be around a grand for all the parts. Very long term project for me, but doable
