Default From coupe to hatch?

Here's the deal, I just purchased a 92 dx hatchback. Right now my current setup is 96 ex coupe full interior, ps, a/c with a b18c1 turbo putting down 232 whp. my fastest 1/4 is listed in my sig, but my fastest 1/8th is 8.29 @ 85mph. Here's the question, Would putting my turbo setup in the hatch be worth the time? I know the hatch wieghts 2178 lbs with full interior. Has anyone on this board done this?(I'm sure someone has) thanks guys!!

well you should have known right off that a lighter car with the same power would be faster but know youll prob have bigger traction issues...

Sounds good, I just have a lot of work ahead of me if I do the swap because I would have to do it 2 times (the dx motor is going in my coupe )
