An offtopic not F-body search....
Anyone know what car(s) came with TINY turbochargers? Especially looking for something that's probably easy to access and CHEAP. Housing size is most important. SMALL. But if you have an idea boost through X size intake would be sweet.... Yes I'm crazy. No it's not for a car. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif) |

QUOTE (Racehead @ Nov 22 2004, 10:46 AM) They made about a billion of the Subaru Loyale turbo's in the late 80's, early 90's. They should be extremely small although I never paid enough attention to them to tell you much more. As a matter of fact a friend of mine has one of these cars in his front yard with a blown motor right now. Might be able to get the turbo for extremely cheap ?? Maybe I could hook you up with him ?? Yes please do. Cheap is what I'm looking for..... I will probably look into nitrous bottles to. Basically it will NEVER be safe. But it will be fun. I'm thinking extra tires would be required because of mass burnouts. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) BTW the engine is, in stock for, a 16HP lawn tractor engine. Which I'm rebuilding. While I'm at it I'll do whatever I can that "seems like should make it faster". Maybe polish the heads or whatever. It's an old sears tractor and most "speed parts" are for 5hp Briggs, so maybe I can have a custom cam made. I'd have to have it up and running first though. Might look into a custom intake with dual carbs off a 5hp Briggs. The carb on it now though will polish up nice. Looks like a small SU carb. So start with a 16hp engine, add a custom cam, port work, and a turbo, dual carbs, pipe(s) etc....Most of these are being put together with 3.5 or 5 horse Briggs. Should be a nice kick right squar in the (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif) |
