Bit of a back story:
Someone from my old old old workplace decided he would turbo his hyundai excel for very very cheap, as he was aussie, and aussies want everything for nothing :lol:
after buying a second hand turbo manifold and turbo he looked into fueling and management.
Fueling came from an extra 500cc injector placed in the boost piping aimed at the throttle body that was activated when the car saw a certain psi of boost, essentially giving a nice plume of black smoke out the back when he dumped the throttle.
and the management?? A rising rate fuel pressure regulator.
apart from the second hand xr6 intercooler, custom 2.5 inch exhaust and turbo ducting, and a walboro fuel pump from a vl turbo and if i remember correctly he put a second head gasket on to lower the compression a bit (pretty sure this is a stupid thing to do), there was nothing else. no fancy boost controllers, no aftermarket management, nil.
that was roughly 4 years ago, i managed to recently bump into him during a trip to brissy and long behold he still has it, it still pulls just as hard as it did back then. and the sound is still quite unexpected.
the purpose of this thread is all about those crude mods you have seen or heard of,
how crude do you think our euro engines can go?
what is the crudest you have seen someone modify their car for na/boost?
ive read some funny stories from sites such as homemadeturbo.com :lol:
ive also heard some stories from when i used to work at super cheap that usually ended with a bang :P
ready?
Go!
