Hmmmm....what to turbo...?

[TominMO]

true... before i pulled out my b3 to swap in the b6t me and my friends took a GIANT leaf blower and hooked it up to the intake of the b3 then drove down the road and reved it up... it made about 1psi of boost and i could feel it lol...

Yeah, I think I'll get 8 leaf blowers and mount them in-line to get 8 PSI of boost. Whaddaya think, Greg? Good idea?
Edit: maybe mount them on the roof?

I'd get one fo those jumper blowers and mount a inverter in the back to supply the power. Then you'll be that 8psi!

Leaf blower replaces intake??? Eh? Eh?

[TominMO]

There's a fine line between breathtaking ingenuity and "That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen!"

Do the festy. But instead of a rear mounted turbo, do a rear mounted leaf blower.

Seriously, rear turbo Festivas have been done (eurotiva), but how many rear turbo 323's do you know of?

Are you listening TOM? I'll turbo anything..........

Do the festy first, and use a kkk ko3. They're cheap and plentiful, it will spool very fast.
Get your hands on some extra b6 injectors, the harness/plugs and a b61k ecm.
Do it like this:



Then when you love it, you can just swap it onto the 323, or make up another one just like it!
It will make you a sexual tyrannosarus, just like me!

Sounds good. But I must correct you--you are most likely only half the sexual tyrannosaurus (whatever that is) that I am .

OK, an update:
Talked to Greg today, and we decided to both do a motor swap and rear-turbo on my blue Festy (cleverly named Blue). He has a B6 laying around looking for a home, and we're* gonna stick that in and rear-turbo it. Probably about 130 HP.

Oooooohhh, this is exciting! Should still get very decent mileage but have gobs of power!

* This means he will do most of the work while I stand there slack-jawed and hand him tools.

* is funny

Does this mean it's too late to vote for turboing my lawnmower???

[Lmcclure]
