It only produced 137 hp at 6000 rpms,about what the late 1990s CivicEX made. And the turbo peaked the torque at 117 foot lbs at about 2800 rpms. Not the best tune for FE. The ecoboost 1.0L Ford turbo delivers most torque at or under 1500 rpms. Bummer about the CVT... get the manual tranny from someone?
