Tiki240 had a turbo Lancer for sale for 500 bucks on here for an insanely long time. My friend eventually ended up buying it from him for 150, and spend 24 dollars to get it running. Its got minor mods, and should be good for high 15s. Its a 2.2L sohc.

How about this, Dodge has owned the title for Worlds Fastest FWD Turbo Four-Cylinder for the past 20 years. First with the Shelby Chargers and Daytona's and Omni's, and then with the Daytona IROC R/T and the Spirit R/T, and now with the Neon SRT4.

The head was designed by Lotus, the same designer of chevy's LT5 DOHC ZR1 motor. They'll run.

Haha, i wanted to do that at one time because it would be pretty embarrasing to get raped by a minivan. But then i realized that it would ultimately just be a waste of money because something is bound to break no matter what on those old chryslers.
