tuning the car cost nearly the same price of the car here
and it won't be able to use it daily if i turbocharged it. Because we have high temprature and traffic jam so the car won't be able to overcome that heat.

If you do a swap, do it right way.

Don't do swap with not enough horsepower.
I thaught M20B23 and 143HP will be enough for me. Now I see it isn't, so I'm looking forward for next swap (M20B25).

Death wish
My standard M20B20 can barely handle the 122hp it came with never mind more power. That's why there are so few 323's left. Hot E21's need an LSD & well sorted suspension or there's trouble ahead.
Why not just rebuild the M10 with a few choice mods?
The M20's are a straight forward swap once you have the correct subframe. You'll get a used one from Europe.
I used to have a link for a (US?) company that made a little gearbox to convert electrical signals to mechanical to power the speedo when doing conversions.
