The T8D in the sephia 2001 model is a good engine. No turbo needed to bring the ponies up to around 180.
Cams, port and polished head, lightened flywheel, stage 3 clutch, underdrive pulley, Ported intake manifold, BBTB, C.A.I., decked 30 thousandths head, and a Megasquirt system will be a kick in the pants! You'll be right at about 185hp. I know from experience.
However, the engine can easily be built to reach more than 300hp. That is not without it's costs though. Your looking at the nice price of around 4k. That is also if you do all of the work yourself...lol.
The problem for you is being in California. You either build it so the emissions out the tail pipe will pass the smog sniffer, or pay through the nose for smog.
For example... I own an 02 Rio. Not of the same engine class since my block is that of the B6 series mazda engines. It came stock with 98hp. I am now running roughly 130hp. The car passes smog out the tail pipe, so my smog guy ignores the visually added goodies at no extra charge. It CAN be done.
