just curious if anyone else on here is using a four pot to make big power.

 

Not that I know of.

What does your setup consist of? I have thought about getting a 4cyl S10 or some other small truck to completely gut out and make a sleeper of but, never carried through.

 

it started life as a 2.3 turbo out of an 88 thunderbird turbocoupe. since then i've completely rebuilt the motor using crower rods, wiseco pistons, a stroker crank to take it to 2.5L, total seal rings, the block has been bored .030 over, the head has been completely ported and polished with, oversized valves, and a big cam. the turbo has been upgraded once from the stock ihi to a airresearch t3 and then to a holset hx35 from a cummins turbo deisel. a big front mount intercooler has still to go in. there are lots of other go fast goodies involved, but this gives you the basics. all in all it should make about 500rwhp with a good tune.

 

Cool man! I used to have an SVO mustang, the thing had little torque, but when she spooled up it was a fun car with the 5 speed manual it had.
What kind of mid to low end power are you putting out??
I have read many articles about those engines, they are nothing to sneeze at.

 

I have a couple of Supercharged 4 Bangers:

2005 Saturn ION Redline 2.0 Supercharged (Girlfriends car)
2006 Cobalt SS Supercharged (Every Day car)

They are a blast to drive, like being in a SlotCar!

Then the big brother is the 2005 SSR 6 Speed with the MagnaCharger, which is in a totally different league.

 

not sure yet, i havn't had it to the dyno. but i tell ya... she's fast! i havn't lost a race yet. some cars i've raced: zo6, older viper, several old muscle cars, more f body's and fox body's then i can count. it's a blast to drive for sure.

 

i know what you mean about that. my girlfriend has an 06 cobalt ss supercharged too. it's black with black and red leather interior. it's basically my car... she just drives it back and forth to work. but it's a lot of fun to drive.

 

Sounds cool bro.. But how the hell do you get the power to the ground?

 

Holy Crap! Zo6? Viper? Are you serious? That thing must be flirting with an 11 second 1/4 mile i guess huh?

 

not sure yet... i actually havn't run it at the track with the new (current) build yet.
