There must be better options for 275hp. Those turbo nissans make this without that price tag

But those Nissan turbo engines would probably put the car in a higher capacity class when it comes to rallying/sprinting/hillclimbing ;)

There's an engine capacity equivalence ratio to add to FI engines, usually 1.4. So an 1800 turbo would be treated as a 2.5 litre engine, a 1400 turbo would be in the up to 2000cc, etc.

For a road car, then you don't want a full race engine, which is what these 2 Duratecs are.
