Default 92' vx hb help

Well I'm looking at this 92' vx hb with 98k miles and a turbo installed on the stock engine and I have two ?'s

1) The body is in decent shape, so is 2,800 a good price?

2) Around how much power should this thing be making and its quarter mile time with a great driver?

waittttt did you just say turbo, on a VX motor? **** you wont make **** that intake mainifold is so small you could plug it with a babies pinky.


the vx motor has the SMALLEST intake mainifold, and the LONGEST geard tranny, its all about full economy with the VX.

OO and BTW just cause you tell us it has a Vx motor and a turbo kit, there is NO WAY in hell we can tell you the performance aspects of it. can tell you don't ecpext **** from it though

REALLY? i would expect no more than 160 whp on that engine, not to boot the super long trans.

2800 seems ok, but that makes me think there is something wrong with it. Find someone that knows turbo cars and have them go with you to check it out. thats my best suggestion.

i got my 92 si with FLAWLESS exterior and interior with rebuilt motor for 2900, so 2800 seems kinda high, and since its turbo, make sure nothing is messed up mechanically or will mess up soon

Yea, I bought my 93 si with minimal body dents. The motor(d16z6) ran great, (still does) for 2700. Look around, there are great deals out there. Just gotta search.

i got my 92 vx for 800 bucks. nuff said.

anyways, i went from a B18B1 powered EK ferio to a 92 vx.....and the econo-friendly power isn't doing anything for me. saving up for a gsr swap. 2800 seems normal seeing that mine had NASTY rust on it and it cost more than the car itself to get it to perfect condition.
