make sure to take pic of your install and take some footage of your car running i want to see this

Re:Anything goes, well then here I am!
 

Will do! ;D

Re:Anything goes, well then here I am!
 

yea make sure you do, also what are the specs on this motor(compression, bore, stroke, factory hp/torque)

Re:Anything goes, well then here I am!
 

Im currently running 9.5:1 compression, which will be good for 9-10 lbs.

As for bore/stroke, let me get back to ya, as I dont remember off the top of my head.

Factory specs are:
55 hp @ 5700 rpm
58 ft lbs @ 3300 rpm. :o

In a month or so after everyhting is all worked out, I will be taking a dyno run, and will post the results for ya guys.

Why a Geo Metro you ask? Why not lol

Re:Anything goes, well then here I am!
 

Cool ----, it better be a stick shift, what fuel management are you going to use for the turbo?

Re:Anything goes, well then here I am!
 

how much boost are you planning on running?

at 9lbs you should see about 80-90hp right?

Re:Anything goes, well then here I am!
 

Go you!

Nice to see that we are getting some cool people joining that can spell good and seem to know their ----.


This sounds like an interesting project, let us know if you need any help. You sure about running 3 carbs? Seems like a lot of things that could go wrong.

Re:Anything goes, well then here I am!
 

That thing would scream if you got the weight down pretty good. Is it the convertible, 2 door hatch or 4 door hatch? The weight of these might machines is 1,620 pounds. Heck, you get the weight down and the boost up, that car will scream. GL with the project, keep us posted!
