I think it's more like build it and they'll come. People need to see a finished kit that they can call up and say, "Hey I need turbo kit #34501" Then, you say, "Alright that'll ship in 3 days and will be $1495.00... Will that be on you Visa or Mastercard?"

HTH, Eric


Yeah, I would like to see a completed kit before committing. I think that would draw alot of interest, if you wrote up the complete build up for a kit and had the article here at zukiworld.

Later,
Bill

i myself was thinking about running a turbo on my tracker (iam an ex turbo dodge guy i love minny mopars) i was just wondering how your engine is holding up are the rods strong enough it the crank strong enough how about the exhaust valves and what octane gas are you running for 4 psi with an intercooler

oooh and on your site you were talking about needing more fuel for higher boost levels have you considered running an extra injector and running 2 fuel pumps

The engine is holding up fine, I reused the stock pistons, and if I had the
extra $$ I would have got a set of low compression forged pistons to put
in the trucklet. As far as Rods, we are lucky we drive Suzukis, the rods in
the Suzuki engines are like real engines, not like Honda rods that look
like toys in comparison. And over all I'm talking about double the stock
80HP output, not a very high demand on the internals anyway.

The exhaust valves are stainless, I would recomend these for all rebuilds.
At 4PSI boost and intercooler I can run 87 RON with no ping except under
the most demanding hard acceleration, and I think that is due to a lean
condition, not the octane.

I have 2 fuel pumps, 1 injector |removethispart|@ 80 PSI, I'm going to add the MegaSquirt
injection computer soon to handle the boost chore, and the stock system
will handle the idle thru 1 PSI chores. I have 4x28Lb injectors to add to the
manifold, this will more than handle the increased boost all the way to 8 PSI +

I am also considering water/methol injection, but only if I have ping problems
at full boost, this would allow you to run 87 RON full time, yet offer engine
performance and protection in times of high demand, kind of an economy
thing for DD guys that only want to run 91 RON when offroad or mudding
and the engine is going to be pushed to full power alot.

Questions ??? Comments ???  I'll answer them here  ;D

well wildgoody that more or less answered all my questions hehe but now i have a new question does the engine come with stainless exhaust valves or did you add them when you rebuilt i never understood that part

myself if i run a turbo iam gonna do it a little differently i was planning on running a small turbo maybe a t25 or a t3 running an intercooler an extra injector an extra fuel pump and running the turbo at low booste like maybe 3-5 range buuuuuuut...........

i have to concentrate on getting my car ready for racing this summer i need to get a racing seat 5 pt harness, fuel cell, window net, and a roll bar i also need to gut the car and throw some mud&snow tires on it (iam helping build a 3/8th dirt oval right now and there gonna waive my membership fee for helping and give me some free tires they also want me to be incharge of a fwd class its gonna be soooo much fun hehe my colt is gonna be a race car hehehe

yeah so if any one wants to run their car in fwd class i need 4 more people and we have a class right now its just me and 1 other person we need 6 to be official and i aint building my car till i have 4 more people who are willing to run

Stock Exhaust valves are not Stainless Steel,
I do run a small turbo IHI from a MX3 which
is a 1.6L engine, spools nicely from just off idle.

3-5 PSI boost is about what I run and you will
need more fuel than what you are thinking now.
