well i am new to the world of little cars and turbos being from the muscle car era. But i have a 1991 Geo Storm GSI with a 1.6L DOHC engine in it and it is a pretty quick car but i would like to try to make it a bit quicker. I believe it is a isuzu motor and it was used in the impulse also. What i would like to know is what turbo charger can i use on this motor. Can somebody help me?

 

Check out last months Sport Compact Car. I thik it was in that one where I saw a guy who had a car similar to yours hooked up with a turbo.

 

....... Hmm ...... you could put 5-lug caps on it and call it 'Type R'. That shoul dbe good right? Well .... seriously, there are a couple of guys that have turoboed Geos. But they seem to have a problem keeping head gaskets. *shrugs*

 

well it being a 1.6 you could put any turbo you see on some of the d16 hondas here. a good choice would be a turbo off of a 1g dsm car or a t3 off from a turbocoupe. i think the car in scc had a t3/t4 but that is pretty much a drag race turbo. you can put pretty much any turbo from a junkyard car as long as you can get a turbo manifold for it.

 

hey I'm glad to see we have some other Sport Compact Car readers in here! Hmmm.... got me thinking of a new post....
