turbo geo???help

[savagebee 10+ year member]

it can all be done and the plan is set im doing a turbo supra motor and rwd with a ford 9 inch rear end

are you talking about a 7m swap? or a 2jzgte?

good luck.. Im dubious, but hey, anythings possible... even if it isnt reasonable...

also, where the hell are you gonna put the driveshaft?

inline 6s are long as hell, will it even fit in a geo engine bay? with a motor that long, an intercooler, turbo plumbing etc, I cant picture that fitting

Well its good to have a goal, but this thread made me lol for a while.

I agree with others that you could get something else for 6g's and make it fast. I get trying to make a hell of a sleeper, but man this takes the cake.

well the engines not going to fit.... period. if he does find a way to fit it he's going to be moving the firewall back quite a ways.

making a new floor plan

building a rear suspension.

reinforcing the whole car. etc. etc. etc. 6k? try 12+ when its all said and done. but i'm guessing if you go to your uncle and sprout that idea he's just going to laugh at you. seriously.

maybe a early 90's celica all track turbo engine, might as well make it AWD

Not to be an *** but i dont see this happening unless you have about 15g's laying around...probably more.

I had some friends in town who put a northstar cadillac v8 in his geo metro. He put the engine in the back area and welded the subframe to the car. I never seen it at the track but it looked like it dipped.

That is way too much work if you ask me just for a H22 but i'm sure its an awesome autocross car

k blocks weren't readily available when he started it. plus he would've basically needed a front clip from an rsx

what if he tried like a 13b rotary instead? that should fit pretty easily i would think.

there really wouldn't be much of a point though.... and that would probably be even more work.

well after tallying up all i need to make this happen it will cost almost 4x the amount that i wanted to spend so for now the geo will get a mini wall and im going to look into an awd dsm
