My friend is selling his. Its been officially renamed "the boat anchor" since all it does is sit there while he drives his 240.

Cool! Id imagine that wasn't a fun install.That yamaha motor must make some nice power with the boost.Turf the badges and that would be a awesome sleeper.

Re: The 3rd Turbo SHO...is here.
 
yeah...they are fun to drive... it is very fast. We had it posted on shoforum.com but everyone kinda just talked trash about it. We tried to look at the pictures of the turbo sho on here, but they didn't work. If someone could send us those it'd be great. We got to take it to the sho meet they had here in NC and we got some good footage of the sho in action. We will try to post is ASAP.

Nice, would have gone bigger than t3 though. From what I understand, that's a pretty strong motor. You probably know of my buddy on shoforum Slow_Sho316

Re: The 3rd Turbo SHO...is here.
 
yeah.. i have seen that name around. I (the girlfriend) have a T3/T4 hybrid turbo SHO in the works as of now. So i will be kicking (more) butt soon. We decided to go bigger also, so I hope it works great. However, since the other sho has all stock fuel system, except the FMU, the T3 is working great right now.

Dam nice SHO... Got it dynoed? or ever ran it in the 1/4 ?

NCturboSHO 08-31-2005 09:52 AM

Re: The 3rd Turbo SHO...is here.
 
no dyno yet.... or 1/4 mile time. We will post it when it happens though. All the tracks around here are 1/8 mile. SHOs don't run that great in 1/8 mile. To bad.

Seriously, I wouldn't even waste your time with it at the track. And I don't mean that in a bad way, but i've seen so many of those cars run decent traps coupled with shitty times. They just arn't drag cars at all. Be happy with having a fast car from a roll ;). Those cars are out from a roll. My buddys sho traps 96-97 consistantly on drag radials and still doesn't best 15.0.

Lol, is that why ours did a 12.5@112 on street tires? I'm sorry but anything can be made into a drag car, except Cavaliers...you shouldn't waste your time with that car cause they shouldn't be driven at all :-\

Hey, I'd rather have my grocery getter cavalier than a pepped up family sedan, but to each their own. How is my car any different than most hondas on this site? Whats REALLY funny is your uber mustang probably runs 15's all day long :-*

Wanna race?

I haven't even tried to make my Mustang fast yet. Right now I'm working on my 4-wheeler and when thats done it'll probably have more HP than your Cavalier and its only 370cc.

Re: The 3rd Turbo SHO...is here.
 
Wow, I'm intimidated. 2 of the big ones, Brian Spielmen. You even have the NX liscense plate frame to go with it. If that doesn't spell ricer, I don't know what does. I'll be glad to race you. The cavalier is being sold very soon and I will have something else to race you in. The ls1 can nevar lose :)

Actually they're only 10lb'ers. The big ones are 15. Too bad the only thing you can say is "One day I might have something that I can race you in" So right now you drive a slow Cavalier, drink your ovaltine bitch and know that I own your 19 year old punk ass.



And btw LS1's can lose, and they do very easily to family sedan SHO's.

RedCavz 09-01-2005 02:02 AM

Re: The 3rd Turbo SHO...is here.
 
haha not really, youd need a decent shot to beat my cavalier on 10 lbs. Thats right, I just said your mustang would need the juice to beat my cavalier..

ohh damn you got me good. Would you stop trying to e-race me. God your worse than those ------- kids in the Cavaliers and Assfires revving the ---- out of their cars always trying to race me. Let it go, its not my fault your parents gave you your sisters Cavalier to drive.

Re: The 3rd Turbo SHO...is here.
 
hey.. I was just kidding about the ---- talking... come on... but I heard that the other turbo sho wasn't running (or maybe being sold?) anyways, I would love to see the pics of those shos cause they are just coming up with X's over the pics on my side. (it only took $100 to build our turbo sho... so that kicks butt). :)

Here's old pics of the SHO. Since than the kit has been redone and cleaned up. Its now on a black SHO, we actually cut up and threw away the white car. The new one looks completely stock with leather interior.

I bought a modular so I wouldn't have the 500hp block splitting problem. I can get 1000+ hp for a fraction of the cost with a modular

I'm with Whitey............
Cavaliers shouldn't exist (well actually they don't anymore, think the Cobalt is the new Crap Box replacement)

Cavaliers with Mods (and I use that lightly) go in the same catagory as Man On Man Action..................

Re: The 3rd Turbo SHO...is here.
 
turbo sho's are always cool. Nice pictures. BTW, do you have any washers in your BOV? Our came with them, but we didn't use them. Do you run an intercooler or not? if so, where is it mounted at?
