What have you turbo'd that was'nt a Honda?
I know this is a Honda Forum, but I want to see some variety, maybe something out of the ordinary. Any one turbo a old hand me down geo, dad's old F-150?

Re: (blackeg)
I still have it. Yes it rips pretty well. The guy who helped me do it does a bunch of the northstar motors also. He is building one right now with the huge single turbo and a stand alone system.

Re: (Jeffescortlx)
local guy turbo'd a 3 cyliner metro, has a full cage and stuff, says it is for top speed runs, hit 138mph i think.
turbo setup looks like a t3/t4 drawing througha 4 barrel carb, no intercooler, external wastegate w/ open dump tube and side exit exhaust.

Re: What have you turbo'd that was'nt a Honda? (Full-Race Geoff)
Worked on a friends mustang with a 347 and a pair of T70's, that is a pretty gross ride.
Building a twin turbo LS1 powered rail as we speak, it's gonna be nasty.
Helped on a turbo GSX-R 1000
Gonna try my hand at a turbo for this GSX-R 600 motor I have here and putting it in a little gokart dealio.

Re: (underpressure02)
Is the guy who did yours Jon Lagler?
If so he does awesome work.
I also think this will be his first N*. The other motors he swaped were pushrod caddy engines.

Re: (Jeffescortlx)
Went from a mid 16 car to a best of 15.5 @ 95 so not so well.
The problem in the end wasnt the turbo or the engine management but the valvesprings were worn out. I bought a used motor when I was 19 that was less then what I was told it was.
I put a stock engine back into the car and the turbo setup is in my basement and sold the built motor rather then wasting more time with it.

Re: (Jeffescortlx)
this was the car.
this was the ghetto install.
the turbo itself.

The engine management was pretty cool. We(Jon) hacked a 85GM computer and made use of a 2 bar map sensor, knock sensor and recald the fuel tables for larger mustang injectors.
