Those Puerto Rican guys are insane when it comes to cars down there. There's even a Kia Sephia turbo that's pretty nasty down there as well

If he can get that much power out of a 1.8L, then I wonder how much I could get out of my 2.0L? :D

There's a difference between a Kia and a Mazda tranny? I thought they were all the same

that isnt eh 1.8bp, its a 2.0 Fe3, it came in the older model 626's mx6's overseas. And it came in the kia Sportages in the US, and it is available here. Its a very very very strong motor. Its designed exactly like the 1.8, just in 2.0 form. and i do believe that 400hp pull was on a stock motor, with just standalone.

the kia sephia's used to be mazda powered with a 1.8bp but i tihnk they use 2.0 fs motors now. but there trannies are alot stronger than the mazda ones

Definitely an FE3. like JITB said its the BP's bigger brother and takes to boost like a duck to water. there was a dude here in the us that threw one in a miata and was making 370whp with a leaking head gasket and only running like 12 psi
