Very nice. So what are you plans for it?
Gasoline powered stress reliever.
First off...
XR4Ti's are slow. Just like turbo volvo's are slow. Sure, they can be MADE to make good power and be fun, but stock? We're talking about a car that weighs 3k+ lbs, has tons of turbo lag, and ONLY made 175hp when it was brand new and not hacked to bits.
Yes, they are cool, and yes, they can be made awesome. But unless you LIKE XR4Ti's, I would get my kicks elsewhere for $1k. But that's just my opinion.
ahem, 140 hp.

But you can have your boost gauge measure in bar...on a stock long block...
the auto was de-rated that much?

10psi instead of 15psi in the manual...engines out of autos are a treasure.
Ahh the first four cylinder i ever owned and liked. if i remember right the bottom ends are pretty stout from the factory, we ran 18psi on mine (everthing i read on turboford said the ihi was done at 18). never really got to enjoy the merkur chassis but i liked the 2.3t enough that its the one fuel injected swap id actually do again!

For some reason I imagine this not benig the case. I mean "very hard" could you post on like UK Sierra forums and find them?
Like I thought Skyline parts would be hard to find but if you are active in like UK and Australian sites for that you have parts all the time. Shipping is a paint but there is plenty of supply.
That and ebay or ebay australia/uk.
