kinda funny looking. not really my style, although the turbo is almost as big as the block, it still looks good.

its an old car (1982), i got it for free, i just want to turn it into something better, i got the turbo idea from the Turbo ITR thread.

I reckon if you made the rear guard square like the front one it would look heaps better. Just My opinion. I've never had the guts to try modifying a body too much so good on you for giving it a go!

Rob

wow what the hell is that!!

wow what the hell is that!!LMAO my thought's exactly.....

Josh

wow. a little too ricey for me......like robrex said square up the back and it would look a hell of a lot better.

Another Mad Max's car!... Not a beauty, but really impressive! I hope you'll choose a dark paint to finish it... It will be a killer!

wow, hows your stang coming josh, my aim doesn't work so i can't ask you.

Here's more pictures for those of you who don't like the car but are interested. thanx for the feedback, i'm sure i won't have another car like this again. check out my website, i really don't have any other cars like this bugger.

they are black with a silver lip, and red lug nuts which you can't really see.

i started making the rear guard more square, i'll get pics soon, its looking really funny but i need to smooth out certain parts and what not.

Damn that looks nice :smokin:

Well, i'm glad to see my thread has gone somewhere. BTW, it's done, but don't tell no one, just needs decals and it can be posted. Your turbo could be smaller and the compressor and turbine should be closer together. but great job anyway.

Also, your turbo is plummed wrong. You should have 1 air filter, on the turbo inlet itself. Then, the compressor pipe should go directly into the intake (if you do like those 6 second drag cars) or to a intercooler, and a pipe from the intercooler into the air intake.

If you guys could help a newbie out and get me some pictures, or make one in paint for me, that would be great because i can't seem to find any pictures. I feel bad trying to make my turbo, its my first one and i have no clue, thanx guys. And again:
Thanx in advance.

Big thankyou to Josh (ska8ter in ny) for explaing to me the turbo process. Ne turbo will be built this weekend and enzo will be worked on (only little engine mods were done on enzo, hoses and stuff) Thanks for your support and guidance. This prelude is very much yours because you've helped me make it;)
