Re: Anyone ever try turboing a probe gt....
My first car was a 93 GT 5speed and it was quick but I beat the crap out of it and it blew up at about 140,000.

This thing is nuts, last year he was running 12.6 on slicks, this year its getting some more work done and he hopes to be in the 11's. 60ft 1.874 330ft 5.356 1/8 ET 8.163 1/8 MPH 87.03 1/4 ET 12.611 1/4 MPH 112.51 Here is some pics. http://s91196822.onlinehome.us/image...ics/turbo1.jpg http://s91196822.onlinehome.us/image...ics/turbo2.jpg http://s91196822.onlinehome.us/image...ics/turbo3.jpg http://s91196822.onlinehome.us/image...ics/turbo4.jpg I would probably expect better times from it with that kind of a setup though. |

Re: Anyone ever try turboing a probe gt....
the lkze 2.5 v6 dohc has been known to make 400hp eazily with a t4. i seen one at the corksports meeting last year and the turbo was located practaly under the motor with an external wastegate. the motor is extrememly light and has been the heart of many motor swaps. there are even some second gen escorts with the klze swap. they run mid 14's stock n/a. its a prety ballzy mid revving motor with massive potential.
klze <----vtec this!! |
