Suzuki threatens to release a turbo!!!

Post by complacent »

Article hmah. I'm very stoked to see the possibility of a force fed SX4.

I'm interested in seeing more of this...

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Road Race fitted a Mitsubishi 16G GT3 turbocharger onto the 2.0-liter four-pot, which delivers seven pounds of boost and increases output to 221 hp and 208 lb.-ft. of torque, a substantial bump over the stock mill's 143 hp and 136 lb.-ft. of torque.
seven pounds of boost? That's a 16G on there, that baby just asks to be opened-up to 20 psi!

With the right set-up that could be a great sleeper!

i luv the sx4 and can only hope this will lead to a wrx/evo competitor. i've wanted to get one and do a wrc treatment on it. but with all suzuki's they usually only get a one or two year run. some drool material. http://www.suzukisport.com/wrc/e/index.html

I like how the 2 tone paint accents the forward plunging greenhouse and the uptick at the front fender.

any fun to drive car that a real person can afford (and afford to gas up) gets the thumbs up from me.

agreed, except for one thing... ricers. that's the one downside of force-feeding an econobox.
