Carbed or FI? At any rate I wouldnt put a turbo on that 1.6L, fast way to blow it up, if its the 8-valve putting a turbo on wont help much since its more restricted.

Usually, 3 or 4 valves/cyl and forged internals, in particular connecting rods... the first thing that's liable to break under pressure. Often lower compression forged pistons as well.

Yep, connecting rods will not like the turbo much at all, you could run low boost (4psi or so) but whats the point then, better off just buying a turbo engine and do a swap.

Gonna try and turn your 323 into an RX-4, huh?
Interesting idea.
