Bad example of a turbo kit

[ak]

It reminds me of certain turbo kit long ago...

 

[djskyy]

why is that?!?! it's COLD-AIR!!! :biggrin:

if he has money to build a custom turbo kit, why not show it!! :wink: :biggrin:

It looks like it has a cleft lip, and a couple teeth knocked out.

What do you mean? It got intercooler, cold air, excellent air flow, easy accessibility, and unique styling. What more can one want? :biggrin:

now the owner can do some fording in what, 2 feet deep water.

I think he doesn't give a shit what it looks like. Understatement of the decade award.

At least they are learning on and only risking a $500 motor on a $1000 car.

Excellent point.

Heh, the crappy ZC motor they're using in that car isn't worth $500, let alone half that. And I'm sure it won't last much longer with the boost :tongue:

I doubt it's a ZC it's probably the original 1.5 DX 91hp engine. Also, notice he doesn't even have a CRX bumper on there!! His is from a 90-91 civic. I guess he trashed his first one on the proto-type turbo

Rocking turbo, at least the filter is easy to change :smile: Bit disapointed the intercooler isn' :biggrin: on the outside of the car like a bullbar.

Now that's what you call a junkyard turbo :biggrin: , or he might be trying to go nowhere fast?, I give him the AssClown Award of 2005

Nothing like having a burning hot turbocharger for a hood ornament.

 

[amgnsx]

humm i wonder if it would actually work and increase the HP.
maybe 1/4 mile run will be around 2min. he he he :biggrin:

Oh, it is a ZC motor, with a "Type R red" painted valve cover. I have additional pictures of that car on my work computer. I can't believe how jenky the entire setup actually looks



EDIT: Found some of the pics:

I have better pics of it on my other computer, but they're really an eye sore to see :tongue:

For one I'm impressed. Of course it isn't the most ergonomic or well engineered kit in the world, but it was put together by a 17 year old kid with junkyard parts, almost no money, and good old fashioned passion for cars. What the hell were you guys doing at 17 that was so much better?
