So thursday I get a new project . . .

1993 Geo Metro, 1.0 automatic and trashed, the body is pretty good though.

The plan is to turbo it. Yes turbo the 3 cylinder.

I'll let the lafter calm down before I continue.

I say cut a hole in the rear floor and toss in a V6 from an SHO or SVTC like they did in the old Shogun Fiesta's.

i say run 2 of those 3 cylinder engines and make it awd. 2 gas tanks and everything.

Geeze guys, I'm not rich.

If all goes well I should be getting a K03 for free, going to need a rebuild though. Hopefully it is not too big for the metro, I don't know anything about the KKK turbos.

I got it running sort of well. New cap, rotor, plugs, wires, belt, filter and oil. OH MY GOD. I didn't realize how slow these things where, allow 1/2 mile when pulling into traffic.

I'll take a good pic and post it up later, you will laff . . . hard.

I think you need a pointy white cone filter for this application

it'd really help if you ditched that auto... a buddy of mine had a 5 speed 3cyl, and it was actually pretty quick... i mean, not quick quick, but decent

zurno · Sun Oct 01, 2006 9:07 pm

your idea of quick must be way off

those things are absolutely gutless
