It's the 1.8, and yes, you can beef it up. A lot of people have turboed them, I know of the top of my head you can find it in the stickies; OOBE has a 7afte. As far as reliability, if that's your main concern, just go with small bolt ons, intake, exhaust, etc. With those mods you can keep your fuel economy and it'll sound better and be a tiny bit faster.

But if you want a reliable, semi-loud, and fun car, that's your motor. If you want power, you'll have to do some swaps bro. Even the turbo'd 7A doesn't make a whole lot of power. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
