It doesn't just bolt into an NA 2G. The 420A motor can be built and turbo'd, but it's worth is still questionable. I wouldn't recommend this unless you were absolutely in love with the car. I'd find something else if I were you.

Can you explain the "worth" part a little more for me please?

just buy a turbo 2g...they're cheap

the 420a motor sits on the left side of the engine bay (unless its a spyder) if you are viewing it from the front. if you wantto turbo it i would defently swap out the 420a and throw in a 6 bolt 4g63, but its not a direct swap in, you need ecu and some other compontents such as motor mounts and other electrical parts.

+1 Why start behind the game already with 2wd when you can buy one with AWD? If your going to swap in a turbo motor you might as well put in an intercooler and other goodies while your at it.

they are not worth it in the first place for one. they will suck a lot of your cash by the time you have it where you want it, then it will break down and suck more in. if you truely want a turboed dsm, buy one that is already turboed. there is a reason why they made them without it and that is for the people who wanted the looks with no go and better mileage. thats it. just buy one with everything there already otherwise you'll highly, highly, HIGHLY regret it later.

oh, and id plan on more than $4K if you are a highschool student. I assume you dont have all the tools and resources necessary to perform this swap. It isn't an easy one by all means.
