i see, but wouldn't a lancer OZ rally make easily 200+ HP with a turbo kit, plus accessories, and it has the good looks silver color baby.

 

Yes it will. However you need to think about the other things besides the turbo kit.

The turbo kit itself would run you about 3500. Then installation, that could be God knows what. Then the tuning, thats about another 500. Then your clutch will be taking its toll, so thats another 700+. Then you have the possibility of destroying the engine.

The engine isnt designed for boost. The pistons and rods are for a n/a (naturally aspirated (non turbo)) car, so it can only take about 8psi safely.

Then if you want to get low compression pistons and forged rods, that is going to cost over 1k for the parts, and another grand for the labour. See where im goin?

Turbo kits are never trouble free. They ALWAYS have problems when you are turboing a non turbo car. It goes well for some, but not all.

Not to mention, when you turbo it, the reliability and gas mileage goes out the window.

Plus the car is front wheel drive, so traction is going to be a bitch too.

 

well dude, thanks for all your help, but i need to find a car, i am desperately needing a car, because i don't have one to drive, neither parent will give me one, so i need a car! any ideas? 160hp+ good handling, and overall performance. and will last me a while..?

 

Older Miata!!!

Dude i feel your pain. Im 17, without a car, and im a hardcore car enthusast. So believe me, im right there with you.

 

yeah dude, its' a pain huh? i'm gettito a be a car enthusiast, but i need a car first! lol.. well, how about the honda rsx's?? or what about the toyota supras?

 

Supras are crazy expensive. They are my fav car on the world lol. They have an extremely strong 6 cyl motor, they are twin turbo, can be very fast. But they are really expensive (at least 25k for a good twin turbo)

The RSX's are good cars, but i think they are way over priced, and they are front wheel drive so i wouldnt drive one.

 

ok, so any good reliable 160hp+ cars with RWD or AWD with better than 25mpg city, that arn't turbocharged??

 

Uuuh.... Miata and S2000. Pretty much anything with power is going to be turbo.

Lotus? lol

 

So you dont want a turbo car because of the premium gas?

 

yeah, dude if you haven't noticed i don't have a lot of money, and i have to pay for insurance and gas, but i also want power, so i'm very picky, sorry you have to put up with me, haha. s2000 huh? i'll check it out, anymore, thanks so much for your help so far!
