Sweet talk a Canadian into shipping a 2.0  Ford EAO twin cam turbo  from any thing with Ford and Cosworth name plates and have at it, or any fast I-4 or I-6 from some Japanese car.....Like a RB26 DETT  just to piss everyone off...After all not every one can be a Turbo Joe...and use a 2.3.

What is that? Sorry, I just saw this when I was on Google looking at engines LOL

They have these engines in Canada? Why don't we have them here? How about parts for them for rebuilds?

Because in Canada you can import engine's and cars from the U.K. that can not be imported into the U.S.  If, of course you are a Canadian. While the Merkur XR4ti was sold in the U.S. the twin cam 2. 0EFI Turbo  engine was not. The reason of course is still the EPA etc.
