So are EJ20/25ts and 4g63s, but they will not handle 35 psi on the stock internals. I highly doubt a 19 year old engine with 1970s techonology will outhandle an engine that was engineered and built with 2002+ technology.

doesnt mean the Escort GT will keep up. the Ford SOHC 2.3L engine is an amazing engine. as you can see it wouldnt cost me much to hit 400hp which is STI eating material. yes yes i was bull****ing about the 35psi thing. just wanted to see what MR honda boy would do =P plus ya gotta think a 1970's car vs a 2000 car in a crash test head on. which one would leave with less dmg. a 70's chevelle vs a 2000 Civic SI.

With the right fuel and tune mods, intercooler and whatnot, you can run 35 psi, its been done. Usually with an alky mix; its detonation you have to contend with, I never heard about someone with lower internal probs.

RE: To all those people who say TURBO's are RICE!
point is cars were built harder back then. if the 1970's PINTO engine was so bad why did ford use it in the SVO mustang? producing 205hp in its last year. which is the equivalent of 2x's the power out of the 5.0L at the time. and 400hp in a 2800lb car will go faster than you think. my dad has a 5000lb car that ran 12's and your point? all racing is, is power:weight ratio. more power in the lighter car you have = the faster you go. so my car being under 3000lbs will do decent on the track. im building mine not for drag but for turns.
