Tubo Guestimations

Falkon45 · 04-24-2008, 05:52 PM

Okay, so I bought myself an incredibly small turbo the other day, not exactly following my plan for my Suzuki. I originally wanted to buy a T3 with at least a .50 to.56 AR exhaust side, with a .60 compressor side. Instead I get one with a .42 AR cold side, and a .48 AR hot side. So now, time for a new plan. It seems big enough for anything from 1.3 liters to maybe 2.0 liters, so I was planning on building a pretty decent sleeper Geo Storm, but, one of those turbos should be able to spool pretty decently on 2 cylinders, methinks. So I'm thinking of building my own variant of the TT Subaru legacy. I'll have a 2.5 liter engine instead of a 2.0, 2 larger than factory turbos, and it'll be a total sleeper

Good ideal, or no?

what year legacy??

ermmmm... 95 to 99 methinks. It was japanese only, but if you look, you can find the engines on EBay. all they did was stick a second turbo on an EJ20, and call it a day. Still not bad though.

Awesome idea, I like sleepers, but it is kind of hard to pull off in a S197 Mustang GT.

AHHH, but it is. Take advice from a former ricer. You just need to make it look like a V6. single fart can, with hidden dump pipe underneath the car, remove GT badges, and with GT-R/Type R/Si R badges and stickers.

They'll never see a proper mustang comming.
