If your talking about the suzuki forenza engine ( U20SED ) it's part of a large family of Opel,Vauxhall,Holden,Pontiac,Daewoo engines.

There is one up over 600hp but it's hard to say if it's for real.

I've seen several C20LET (2.0L 16V Turbo) engines up into the 380hp range with mostly stock internals.

Luckily for us (I have the Suzuki Reno equivilent ---> Chev Optra 5) most of the parts are interchangeable.

I'm going to be doing a project car but I think I'm going to leave my stock engine "stock" and throw in a high power Pontiac C20GET engine ( 2.0L Turbo with an 8V head..... related directly to our U20SED)

reading all that makes me wanna cry lol

it yust to hard to change my engine (or mod much) and get away whit it... darn insurance company/goverment would kill me and i got a yearly chekup so pretty much fucked :s

I've heard of guys that will swap out engines for their yearly checks.

Realisticly it's a weekends worth of work to pull out your high power engine and drop the stock one back in.

Alternatively you could slap on a turbo and use a piggyback fuel computer to make the stock ECU happy.

Then at testing time pull out the modifications and piggyback unit and it's back to stock condition.

hmm how much work would that be then? (the turbo+piggyback?)

always wanted a turbo tbh
and can the internals of the engine take it or do i need get some extra cooling on pistons? (having to use lower compresion pistons is a must i geus?)

but still risky when i get a accident though.. but still need to think about that
