This page is for my beater 1993 Escort wagon I bought for $100 out of a field. The car had a blown headgasket and an iffy auto trans so I dropped in a $300 junkyard 2.0L SPI motor from a '97 and a 5spd transmission.

It was still pretty slow so I installed a DSM T25 turbo and manifold along with a bunch of other stuff (see below for the details). I have also converted it to run off of clean burning 105 Octane E85 Ethanol, which allowed me to crank the boost to 12psi with no detonation! I still have just a little over $2k into the car and it's pretty quick and still gets 30+mpg on the highway.
