Are turbo or V-6 kick's really fast?
« on: September 24, 2004, 05:43:45 AM »
I know a few board members have turbo or v-6's in their kicks.  Since these engines are relatively low power to begin with I wonder how much a turbo helps.  Does it make it really quick or just better than stock.  What about putting the 2.5 v-6 in.  I have driven a Grand Vitara and in it the 2.5 didn't seem overly quick.

No kidding.  Plugging that into the "drag racing estimate" equation gives an estimated 157hp, give or take depending on actual vehicle weight.  I guessed at 2500lb.

hp = weight * (qtr mile time/234)^3

I'll have to agree with Wild... double the stocker 1.6l power should make things move a bit quicker ;)

Let me put it this way, if I'm accellerating
in a stright line, at any point in 1st or 2nd
gear, if I go thru any water on the road,
both tires break loose and I get a little
sideways.

Things get very interesting very quickly
in a SWB kick when one end looses traction

My 2.0L V6 doesn't seem that fast, but a few friends have asked me if I had a turbo hidden in it after giving them a lift.

you get used to it pretty fast.  after driving my transam with the 7.1L bigblock for a while, it seems slow.  Most of the maniac associates I take for a ride claim it's too fast for them ???

I've been asked if I had a V6 in my Tracker.  ;D

I was on the interstate going to work and blew by a friend of mine in a older Grand Cherokee. When we got to work he asked me if I had a V6 in it cause he had his pedal to the floor and couldn't catch up to me.  8)

I told him nope but I plan on it one day. ;)

My dad had a 77 or78 Golden Eagle Jeep
4x4 Wagon, you know the big beast thing.

Well it had a 360 CID V8 and got 12 MPG
Highway,  and 8 MPG going to his house
in Running Springs, what a big POS that
thing was, Quadra Track  blew out 4 front
drive shafts in 150,000 Miles

AMC messed up the Jeep line bad when they
bought it, this one was so bad, he said never
again would he buy a Heep.
