Re:Anything goes, well then here I am!
ahehehe, thats an awesome project to work on. Only on HMT will you find something like this where the owqner has the drive and determination to turbo whatever they've got. I love it. good luck with the setup, and I'm sure it's already been said about 100 times, but be sure to take pics.

Re:Anything goes, well then here I am!
Ok, so I hope I get back to everyone...
jn2003: At 9 psi, and with my current modifications, Im hoping to hit the 100 hp mark. quadnie: Thanks, I try ;D as for the triple carb set up, Im currently running 3 carbs, and havent had too many problems with the setup. I am currently redesigning the setup with a different carb setup to go with the turbo.Although being a little tricky, I dont forsee too many problems boosting it. Sinister: I have the 2 door hatch model.Ive gotten the weight down to roughly 1400 lbs, and Im looking into reducing it even more. I will keep everyone posted, and will take pics as I go, just need to score a digi cam. This project has been eating the funds like a hungry 12 year old :) Right now im just waiting to buy a couple things, and should have the install going in the next couple weeks. |
Re:Anything goes, well then here I am!
I was thinkin about boosting a geo metro cuz i was lookin for a beater lol but then again i think about boosting everything, i can help that im addicted to boost/bov. i think we need to start a turbo's annoymous.

Re:Anything goes, well then here I am!
What kind of manifold are you using and were did you get it? One of my friends wants to turbo his Geo but I haven't been able to find him a mani.

at 9lbs you should see about 80-90hp right? |
Re:Anything goes, well then here I am!
stock internals?

Re:Anything goes, well then here I am!
Quadnie: Internals are stock for the moment.Ive sourced some pistons out of a turbo pontiac firefly which I will be installing at a later point, which should allow me to raise boost to around 13-15 psi safely. Also looking into some custom Valves so I dont blow those as well.
Tmonarky: Which manifold are you speaking of? Intake-Intake plenum, or Exhaust? Either way, everything is going to be a custom made piece, with exception of exhaust manifold. And even that will need some modifications to work correctly. Still havent decided if I want to go the Water Injection route yet or not. |
Re:Anything goes, well then here I am!
Exhaust
