Default Fancy engine Fancy price

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.
