planning for summer project, need advice
Ok, so I plan to pop my HMT cherry so to speak (I can see nothing but trouble after that statement....) this summer, but I'm so damn indecisive I don't even have a car to do this with. So here's where you guys can help me. I'm new to this whole HMT stuff, even new to forced induction. I drive a 2000 Focus ZX3, but I don't want to boost it, as it is my reliable *knock on wood* daily driver. What car/engine do you guys think would do well with boost? I have the smallest budget possible, so don't suggest stuff like 2JZs or RB26DETTs. I'd also like to stay away from Hondas since there are so damn many of them; I like to be different. I know you can turbocharge pretty much anything with the proper amount of work and time, but not everything will take a good amount of boost well without blowing up/breaking/etc. That being said, what do you HMT experts think I should look for?
