I was reading about the new 2018 Honda Accord engines. They have the exhaust manifold and turbocharger cast right into the head. 1500 cc DOHC, VVT and 192 hp, 192 ft-lbs, 10:1 compression and 20 psi boost direct injection. 87 octane. To power my metro, I would need only one 400cc cylinder.

I haven decided which car to sacrifice for the Metro, the beloved Saturn or the Geo Tracker. Saturn is getting old, timing is retarding at wot. low rpm even with premium gas.
