Turbo-Geo

A new project.
My buddy bought this 1990 Geo Prism sedan from a coworker for $150. It didnt run. All we had to do was fix the ignition switch and replace the driver door window which was busted. So up until this point we have just been using the car as a field car. Driving it wide open through the fields, jumpin canals, driving through the woods, etc. Basically just trying to tear it up and perfect our rally driving skills in the process.

So after we turboed his dodge dakota, which didnt work out too well, we reverted the truck to stock and the Geo was obviously the next candidate for the 'ol 14b.
So far we have adapted the stock manifold to work with the turbo and hung it on the head. We ran into a problem with the compressor housing hitting the crossmember, so we took the grinder to the crossmember and cut a big chunk out of it, problem solved.

This weekend we are going to knock out the oiling for the turbo, and run the boost pipe to the intake, and be done. We are going to test it out in the field, then take it to the race track and see how many passes we can make before we scatter it on the track. It may hold up for a while and we may put down some respectable numbers....We will deffinately get some head turns and some "WTF's".

What do you think??

What are you doing about fuel??

And how do you plan to route the IC pipes?

Nothing.

And how do you plan to route the IC pipes?

What IC?

No, but seriously.

Heres the fuel mods:
-Going to install a new purolator fuel filter from my store
-Upgrade to 101 race gas

haha hilarious awesome

And just think, you could have pooled all that money and bought a pretty good hooker.

We aint loosing any money. Bought it for 150, and have no money in parts. So after we blow it up we are going to junk it and get our money back and more!!

I know, $150 is a pretty good hooker! You could have passed her around and all gotten your rocks off, then bring her to McDonalds for breakfast in an unfamiliar place and run out when she goes to the bathroom! Good wholesome fun right there.

Good wholesome fun right there.
Sounds more like good wholesome experience... :rolleyes:

This forum gets stranger every day...

Update on the GEO:

Its parked beside the woods about a 1/4 mile from my house because it wouldnt make it back from our test drive.
Got the turbo system done.

Anyways, oil is now leaking from EVERY gasket on the engine, engine is knocking crucially, blown head gasket, blown tranny line, and the radiator exploded.
So its parked until we repair the tranny line to drive it back to the house, get it up on the trailer, blow it up and pull it to the scrap yard.
Its sittin over a pool of oil, water, and tranny fluid. Coolant actually found its way into the cabin of the car....glad I had already jumped out.

That's awesome. Did she pull? Coolant in the cabin sounds like problem with the heater core or something. That's funny as hell though. Need pics. And videos of that would have been nice.

Ooh! Ooh! I want to blow it up! I have an idea for a big ass pipe bomb that I'd like to try... its aimed at making one car into two half cars. :)

That's awesome. Did she pull?

No hell. Pulled the equivalencey of about 2psi.

lol in reference to the phot, does the coca cola can have any function?? loll:icon16:

Sounds more like good whoresome experience... :rolleyes:

Fixed.

Fixed.
Haha... Pretty much... :lol:

Ive looked at that and looked at it....but I'm not getting it....
