Which cars are VERY boost happy???

[madking411]

which year(s), makes and models of cars are VERY boost happy?? As in, you shouldnt need to perform an engine swap to get some HEALTHY power out of, and that you can just boost as much as you'd like??

Granted, i KNOW that to boost like crazy, an engine build is ~99% REQUIRED but still......just wonderin...

cuz i know there is the eclipse, the 240sx, and the supra....someone care to add to the list??:goodjob:
reps for people that do add on-- Im puttin some thought into a new car...the Honda deal didnt work out...

[Wurm]

stock ka's boost happy lmao

your a funny guy

[madking411]

Sorry, i should have specified....non-Honda boost happy....

[chuck]

[Wurm]

i was referring to a nissan motor

[Revmaynard]

Sorry, i should have specified....non-Honda boost happy....


Just because they'll swap anything into a Honda doesn't make it a Honda engine.

[takume]

vg30dett
it is stock and boost crazy

[madking411]

Yeah, but im talkin bout what CARS already have these motors in them??

cuz, this list is good, but its more like what motor i would swap into a car once i got it...meh, i guess ill just do some research and find out for myself...

If you don't know, then don't guess. You just gave this guy the most piss poor advice on a boosted Honda motor you possibly could have.

Also, in a thread asking about stock motors, the LS/VTEC does not apply.

Pause, breath in, breath out, then wonder if I really give a fock :lmfao:

lol @ him only correcting me on a honda motor, fag.

[Blitanicle99]

If you want cheap power. Supercharge or turbo charge a Taurus SHO. Those guys are running in the 400 hp area and running with vettes and lightnings.

[bigdare23]

I'm surprised no one said Supras?

[speedminded]

I'm surprised no one said Supras?It was listed in the original post silly.

[Elbow]

Miatas like boost

Give him a break :slap: . Not everyone knows about Honda's. Some don't even care lol.

[RUFFIAN]

Merkur XR4TI. 12 to 15 lbs stock. the bottom end can handle 20+ if you give it enough fuel.

:yes:

[omnislash]

are hondas supposed to be excluded in this thread? If not then the k20a2 from rsx S, 580whp stock block.

[SandM]

german turbo power is nice. golf 1.8t etc.. lots of mods to be found. also the 240s ka24de, older 200sx se-r, toyota mr-2 (pain in the ass to work on), pontiac grand am supercharged, i could prob think of more later

[redrumracer]

the mazda miata motors respond very well to boost. it was after all designed after a motor that was originally made to hold boost

[3.5altman]

boost a scion tc homie! I would

[OneSlow5pt0]

miata 1.6l

[Alan®]

/Fail

[ryanh300]

B20 :)

[Cyclonehatch]

Actually the engines in the old t-100 Toyota trucks, can hold a suprising amount of boost on stock internals. I have actually seen someone put down almost 400WHP on one of those trucks (Turbo of course). The Engine code is 3RZ-FE, it is a 4 cylinder that is 2.7 LITERS. The one I saw was the one with the distributor, not coilpacks like the ones that come in the newer tacomas.

[Bruce Leroy]

How much power are you looking to make?? If i was you I'd just find a 1g dsm awd. Its cheap, and can be quick with just a few mods. Because judging by your sig and posts, you are broke just like me.

WOWW...lotsa good info....

Now, what about the boost-happy cars that i could probably get my hands on for ~$1,000....??

[OneSlow5pt0]

maybe a miata with high miles

[speedminded]

you want a boosted car for 1000 bucks? go to the junk yards, there are plenty of DSMs lyin around. hahaha

[SandM]

ok, new price limit of $1000. lets see...... wow...... miata is gonna be your best bet.

I wish

[AnthonyF]

I wish

which still doesnt make sense. you cant buy a miata for 1k w/ boost. shìt, buddy has an SCCA one with multiple podiums for 20k, and it's N/A.

[OneSlow5pt0]

yea i just ment a miata u could boost...not a turbo already....maybe get a 90-94 with over 200k miles

[AnthonyF]

he still wouldnt be able to apply boost. madking is an idiot. has zero idea what he's talking about, but he acts like he does. ask ?'s, dont make stupid statements

[bastarling84]

No, Lol @ you being gay about it like you saved someone $400 by switching to gieco
It's like the queen wants to know if you want to eat dinner at the palace or at the castle. Either way, you're havin fillet mignon.

Volvos are probably all you can find in your budget with a turbo:

You have got to be kidding. 1k, is all you have or are willing to use for a car? If that really is all you have, save some more money and than start thinking about what cars are boost friendly. Maaannnn :lmao:

[FlyingStroke240]

Geo Metro 3 cyl + Turbo = Good gas mileage and faster than wherever.

just my .02cents.

[madking411]

NO. im not dumb, im just LEARNING...and im askin Q's so that i CAN learn more. You all ought to be glad i want to try gettin info from all of y'all.....

And as far as reading? Just tell me to go read in the section, dont trash me in the thread.....jeez.....SIMPLE.

DSM's alot of bang for the buck. they go purty darn cheap too. not the prettiest cars though

pretty much, lets just say youll be a decent mechanic after your done owning one

[Brock]

haha yea dsm's are alot of work and are notorious for breaking down. 1st gens arent as bad but everything after that has crank problems aka "crank walk"

[madking411]

ohhh...........well, so much for the DSM!

[Ruststang]

Mid 80's mustang svo or cougar turbo? Might find one for around a grand. At least you have a rwd then and you could get parts cheap.. Ive seen vids of them making 400whp on stock 4cyl internals.

[Kalifornia087]

Even if you are a twit, here is something to think about. And read.

Im really surprised that only once in this thread i've seen it mentioned.. But.
Dig around for Turbo VOLVO's. You can find old mid-late 80s turbo 740s and such for under 2 grand, sometimes you get lucky and find them for about your pricerange. Or pick up a non turbo and put a turbo motor in it. Probably, being serious, one of your best options for a cheap, tough ass turbo car for cheap.

Or buy an old 325 bmw. They are cheap to find and take to boost well.

Also Rustang was close with what he said. But SVO mustangs are either expensive or beat up. Look for Turbo Coupe Thunderbirds. I paid $1,000 for one i had last year and it was really tough, they have tons of options to make them fast... For CHEAP.

Austin

[Ruststang]

OOOOHHH MAN!! Good call i forgot about thunderbirds!! ^^^

[Ruststang]

if you do decide to go with an n/a car and then purchasing a turbo kit, I would advise you not to use ebay for your turbo... I bought a turbo kit for my 92 240sx with the dohc k in it..... well it lasted about 3 weeks then the turbo seals went bad, Pipes are okay but turbos not so much.

fyi
It was not the ss auto chrome kit.

[AnthonyF]

idk.....i dont think u should be braging bout reliable cars...:D

you got that right. most people keep spare tires, i keep spare engines. lolol

no, the tune. i'm running forged pistons and they are still melting w/ 60# injectors and 2 cobra fuel pumps. i shouldnt be running lean. i just got in my 60 over pistons and this time the tune will be correct my MPH....w/ a 35wet shot :goodjob:

snazy...did u think bout dropping in a 4.6?but i like that u sticking to the 4.0

[JITB]

mazda motors,

b6d 1.6 dohc (miata)
strong factory rods(upgrade for the bp)

Bp 1.8 dohc (escortgt/protegelx/94+miata/94-97kia sephia)
iron block
forged crank
oil squirters
block already tapped for oil lines...:)

thats all u need!

everyone has told me to, but...'eh. the 6 is different. its fun when u beat some1 and u tell them it is a 6cyl. lolol. so, 400ish hp w/ 27mpg :goodjob: we'll see how it turns out in a few months.

[khan351]

Supra, 03-04 Cobra, and Grand National are the first that come to mind. These cars are built for boost and can handle pretty good amounts with stock internals..
I've personally had cobra's with well over 800+hp at the crank with stock internals
