I am at this time considering a turbo install on my 3.0 engine, I would be using the guts of a used bae turbo kit for the 911sc. I know that I will have to do a lot of fabricating and loose some useable storage space in the trunk. I have enough support from those who have had the turbo kit installed on there cars for 20 years, and have sorted all the little problems out.
I now have to justify the need for 300hp, when my car runs great as is, but lacks a little heart pounding thrill. I like the idea of turbocharging as it is all external, biggest hp gains without internal modifications, and I have the capabilites of fabricating the plumbling. Plus it can be done for less than a pair of carbs. Someone twist my arm, it's a turbo or it's a new paint job for the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Chappy |

Chappy, I'm having a hard time understanding this question. What do you mean "justify 300hp"? I mean, I'm trying to understand it, but I can't quite comprehend NOT needing 300hp. I thought we all needed 300hp? Now 600hp might be hard to justify (to my wife), but 300hp just seems like a no brainer. Like food and water and a place to sleep. Go for it. And anyone who says it will be too hard is a pansy. -Ben M. |
