Do you have any idea how depressing and frustrating it is to be absolutely in love with cars, have a dream build, but have NO idea how to do any of it? Yeah. Can't even afford to go to school. D:
Dubstep Addict Get a good repair manual like Bentley manuals (It's the name of the repair manual, not the car manufacturer). Personally if I know what motor I'm gonna be using then I will throw the block on an engine stand and start from the ground up. This will not only give you a rebuilt motor but is great if you're a hands on learner. With your first project you will buy tools as needed as you go and for tools you can't afford you can rent from your local auto parts store.
Truly a warm, humorous and technically informative show which needs help in getting commercial support. It deserves major products and parts manufacturers. Thanks, RS
haha - I see what you mean! This video is basically for anyone who wants to get a quick idea of whats involved who may be less inclined to watch the full versions which go for a couple of hours. Hopefully this video will stop a lot of repeated threads on car forums all over the planet of people asking whats involved in turbo charging their car. We're really pleased to see a bunch of forums and web pages already implementing it. Choo Choo - gotta hit the track soon and post up some driving!!
Watched the long versions first and loved them. You guys nailed the abridged version, too. I'm terribly pleased with being a subscriber, keep up the good work(play) =D

Lol I think it's because no one will take him seriously because this isn't a video you should use when your trying to put on a turbocharger for the first time.
+HalaMadrid1225 He means the insides of the engines that might not stand up to the power the turbo produces. Stuff like the head, pistons, gaskets, etc.
@HalaMadrid1225: NA engines run from between maybe 10:1 to 11:1 compression. To safely use a turbo it is typical to run in the 8:1- 9:1 range. This means you need either a lower piston head height or shorter connecting rods. At WOT and full boost, the effective compression ratio will be the initial compression ratio times the pressure (actual)/14 psi.
I would re-name the video "How to turbo: turbo version" haha. You guys are awesome! I learned so much from you and the turbo videos really helped, I want a turbocharged car so bad! Thank you guys for making fun, comedic videos that teach you a lot about cars!
buy a factory turbo car, jack up the boost as much as you can, replace injectors and fuel pump and buy an ecu plug in play software, replace exhaust and go its cheaper that way
To turbo your car = buy loads of shit for the conversion, take days, weeks even months to complete it (depends on who/what you know), alter just about every mechanical component to compensate for the hyperspace-like whoosh from hitting the loud pedal, pack a healthy wallet and don't forget to bring plenty of lube for the insurance ass-raping. Or... you could just buy yourself a factory turbo'd car for less money.
It won’t be as expensive if you get a turbo kit that’s meant for your car. You won’t have to be getting manifolds customized or piping customized. That’s more expensive
I don't always think these guys videos are as conclusive or informative as they could be, but this round of video subject was quite excellently implemented. Great job 👍
It seems to be in pretty good working condition, plus they put in all that effort to put turbo in it. It must have been in some sort of decent shape atleast, for it to be so cheap. Ps: Just curious, as I'm looking to buy one too, and can find nothing even remotely near that price. Not even for double the price.
yeah, it's cheap and working but doesn't mean the miles aren't high. youre looking around a bit under sub 200k miles. not unreasonable. doesn't mean it didn't blow up in a few hundred km.
as you're measuring in miles, i assume you're from US? Cars are a lot cheaper there. I'd think just the shell without an engine would cost 1.5k here in Aus.
I dont know much about cars so pleae dont be rude if I say something wrong but my mom just bought a 1992 mx5 for 1800. She bought it for the good mpg the convertible top, and she's always loved the body style. The car has run well so far although we did have to replace the clutch after around 4 months. The only issues with the car are that the gas lid wont open with button, the flasher is messed up so the right blinker doesnt work and also the speedo made the worst squeal since we got it, yesterday the first time we went 90 in it the speedo just gave out :).
make friends with someone who knows their shit about cars and ask them if they can show somethings. There are also forums you can go join as well and they will be happy to give advice on stuff. Also before you ever hop up your engine you should upgrade your breaking and suspension first because you want to be able to have control.
I second the online forum for your car, usually free, and there is usually the best advice for your specific car/engine/trans/everything. Then read up on what others are doing, the specifics, limitations of parts. I did my own engine and ecu swap with nothing more than info from the net. Confirm everything you read with more than 1 source if possible. It's not necessarily a fast process. 6 years before I was ready and the right engine came along. I took another year before putting it in. I collected a lot of parts, knowledge and tools along the way. I had one friend that knew nothing help with the heavy and some tedious stuff. What kind of car +ATP?
Forums are good until the assholes come out. The ones that feel they are too good to give a simple answer and would rather ask you 500 without giving you any good advice. Forums for the most part are a joke. DIY like the guy said. Buy a cheap junk motor and take it apart. Learn the ends and outs of stock equipment before throwing money at it on pointless shit like CAIs.
PGTMR2 Yeah for the most part everyone is very welcoming of newbies in car forums, especially the VW heads (Vortex has some douche bags but Fortitude is good). A combination of those forums and a Bentley manual (The Chilton/Haynes manuals are incomplete at best) are a great starting point. I do the same thing as you. I will stock up my parts list instead of installing one thing every other week. And during that time you can do plenty of research on your project.
Jt Conner A good forum will have a-holes to keep out other know nothing but strongly opinionated a-holes. Heads butt on every forum. There's different ways to do things sometimes.
Do NOT attempt to install your own turbo unless you are very skilled or have an excellent group of mechanics working with you. Its very time-consuming (good if you want a project), high risk, and probably not worth it.
+Jia L. Well said, this video just goes over the general idea, but to actually do it you need to know your stuff. It's funny watching idiots blow there engine though.
Thanks for taking background music out of the shadows and giving it the attention it really deserves. You should call it "foreground music" and patent it.
Juan Delgado Boost of 10 psi or under do not really need to have the internals replaced unless the car has an extreme amount of miles on it. Anything over 10 PSI and bullet proofing your engine is a must.
Most manufacturers will state that anything over 10psi boost you will need to upgrade the lower end of the engine internals and possibly replace your pistons with forged ones. Anything over 15 psi requires a complete rebuild bullet proofing the entire engine.
Jonas Ben, Rome wasn't built in a day, and like anyone that's every built an engine like this will tell, you it can take yes, to get from design pad, to finished project, my current project, has taken 18 months so far, and is no where near finished yet
If you're going to have a (semi)informative video with fast-paced talking (which is great), then you should not also have music with vocals. It's insanely distracting and makes it hard to watch.
I think the biggest headache would be figuring out all the parts to buy, if they're compatible, good and reliable. What would worry me also, is removing the previous parts of the car and figuring out if those are the parts that need to be removed. Putting it together would be the least of the hassle.
for me thats not the problem... for me the problem is how to connect it all and make it work. id wanna turbo my beater but i dont know how to even if id get the parts
@@e36fanatics the problem for me is custom piping, I'd need custom piping to get the intercooler set up. Exhaust is fairly easy on my own car because there's some space right next to the engine, and it's also possible to relocate the battery, but unless you know how to weld custom piping ain't gonna be cheap.
The amount of comments saying get someone else to do it is scary. Why are you people even watching this if you are going to get someone else to half ass your car (the 2nd most expensive purchase you make normally) when you can work to get to learn and master your car. To become one with it
You want so safely install your car a turbo ? wel i know how and you can too ! Take 2-3 days time and use google until you know everypart of your engine and what u need from start to finish to get it done - tools, parts and all that, good luck and its not that hard. If you dont know what to do next = google ! everything is explained there in text and videos or images
True that Step by litlle step..do not be affraid of faillure. people can do things you know.,but you just have to start doing so and in the end all will be okay .
Upgrade your internals before you even think about turbocharging. You might gain all the power you wanted to in the process. Turbocharging comes at the price of reliability.
+The Stig Meh. Volkswagen engines generally can handle turbocharging near stock. I work with them. Magnesium cases (No cars modernly use this, and these engines were from the 1940s), forged internals etc. My beetle has a near stock engine producing about 120 HP with a turbocharger (For all you snickering, that's 3 times the stock power output on a good day for the stock engine.)
I was gonna do this but then I put a performance cone filter on my car and that shockingly made it sound turbo charged. If you are in front of my car, it sounds slightly supercharged and if you are behind my car after I release throttle at high rpms, it does a mellow nice turbo charged sound. It's hilarious 😂 A stock manual ford fiesta 1.6. I like sleepers so I don't do anything to the exterior of my car and it sounding so cool and louder just makes me laugh. It's so stupid and I love it 😂😂
if you think about this, there is too much drama in cars, ehausts, camheads, cylinders, fuel injectors, +so many things you know, now for electric cars, its just a motor, batteries, and a controller, thats it, no drama
nickdudem thanks for specifically justifying your opinion, just in case you didnt understand im not saying i hate combustion engines, i prefer electric ones because its less complicated and better for the environment
Solider Armatang I guess if i didn't like the challenge of learning something new then i would agree with you, but nothing can replace the satisfaction of getting all those parts to come together in harmony to turn fuel into a lot of noise, smell and power.. Here is something you could learn - the manufacturing process of electric vehicles and the batteries in them pollute the world worse than its fuel consuming counter parts..
enemy4 2day The harmony thing you said, agreed, you get to feel your result of all that pain and its pleasing, but i didnt know that last point you made, thanks for sharing
danny paul I'm afraid your linguistic skills are far to advanced for me to compete with you. Thusly, I shall refrain from communicating with you any further in hope that I do not cause you to lose any more brain cells.
Jonathan Vandagriff Whether or not he was talking to me is irrelevant. My point was that stating "idiot" holds no intellectual value in a derogatory remark. You stated that you don't "think" he was talking to me. By the very lack of punctuation and other words in his comment, you are in no position to assume he wasn't talking to me or label me "kind of a[n] idiot".
It took me 3 months to change from a SC engine to a turbo engine on my car. Now I have a SC engine, and a turbo engine. That car already had a Supercharger, and it still took 3 months to swap over. It take a great deal of metal work and fabrication to build a neat system. My turbo makes 28 psi boost on a 6.0 liter Ford-style 8.2 deck block. It makes 958 kW power.
Where do these guys be getting their cars for under 2k.. seriously I have a hard time finding a car like that lol. I'm getting desperate to the point of buying a honda civic.
Well considering THAT particular MX5 was going to be scrapped, it's unsurprising it was that cheap. It's probably got enough damage somewhere that essentially writes it off. Or just rust. Lots of rust.
I just bought an all original 1980 Honda Civic wagon with only 55k miles for $1500. It took months of searching and a 400+ mile round trip drive to get it, but they're out there.
How to get a faster car? Have someone record you driving your car. After take the footage and replay it at 8x speed..and there you have it, a faster car.
This fuckin video is mint mates! Super easy to understand quick rundown of turbo-ing an N/A car. CHEERS. P.S. will definitely be watching the hours long vids you made
Ofcourse the way u put it doesn't. But bro if ur not earning enough money to spend 5-10k all at once but wanna still be as fast as those cars, then I guess spending money overtime to tune the car u can afford to buy makes sense and tbh may be the only option a car enthusiast has. :(
I buy a car for the reason of building, and upgrading it. My daily driver is a boring auto that's meant to get me to work and back. I bought a 97 Eclipse from a ricer, so I can restore it, and to what these 2 guys do, which is learn how to do stuff by doing it. I already put more or equal amount of money I payed for it. I'd rather own a car I put hard work into rather than buying a stock fast car and not being to know everything about it. Plus modding expensive cars is more expensive than modding an old late 90's car. Cheaper spare parts. SUPER cheap.
Depending on the car spending 5K on a 5K car makes it a rocket compared to a car you bought for 10K. But usually it's best to look for a car that is not popular only due to power. Since making power is always easy if you have the cash. A turbo miata if done right will compete with cars that are in the 25~35K range. Especially since the first gen Miatas are right around 2000lbs. Having the same power to weight ratio or better than a lotus elise is pretty awesome.
The point is that you can buy a cheap car and mod it EXACTLY how you want it and end with a build of 10k rather than buying a 10k car and having to spend another 5-10 modding it to the way you want.. Modding doesn't always imply mechanical. It can include sound systems, guage and guage lights, coloured interior trim, etc. It's about making it YOUR car.
i put a old turbo off a ford diesel tractor in a 95 ford aspire mainly because it was cheaper as well as i didnt need any ecu upgrades or add on because it use's vacuum for everything. involved a lot of cutting and welding and fingering where the put the inter cooler, but with a week of work and 15 pound wastgate and ruffly about $300-$400 this little car can now does more than 55mph up a hill. i dont have a dyno but factory this car sits at 65hp with a high geared tranny so hills kill it, but i fixed that, im sure its more but my idea behind it was to make the only down side of this car a positive. i live in montana we have a lot of mountains hill ext. not only did it increase my power when needed but the mpg stayed the same at ruffly 38mpg town and 45mpg hwy so im happy
I feel like I wasted my time watching this video due to the fact that I didn't understood nothing at all 😂 Great video tho very informative but I need a slower informative one lol BIG THUMBS UP
hi nice that u guys know a lot about turbos. can a turbo be easy upgraded from stock turbo car or is it too much work because u will need new software as well

Don't forget to upgrade your internals, if not Kaboom!
just in it for the whistles
Juan Delgado Boost of 10 psi or under do not really need to have the internals replaced unless the car has an extreme amount of miles on it. Anything over 10 PSI and bullet proofing your engine is a must.
+Juan Delgado depending how much boost your running
Most manufacturers will state that anything over 10psi boost you will need to upgrade the lower end of the engine internals and possibly replace your pistons with forged ones. Anything over 15 psi requires a complete rebuild bullet proofing the entire engine.
Andrew Murphy i know but he said if you put a turbo on youll wreck your engine. what if i only run 7-8psi?
0:13 guy on the left literally looks almost exactly like psychedsubstance
This is what adam does in his free time
I was thinking the same thing!
It must be a huge pain in the ass to do all this shit !!!! lo
Jonas Ben, Rome wasn't built in a day, and like anyone that's every built an engine like this will tell, you it can take yes, to get from design pad, to finished project, my current project, has taken 18 months so far, and is no where near finished yet
It's all about loving what you do
I understand some of this as a kid but looks like a lot of work and my dream the have my own mechanic shop I love your videos thanks for inspiring me.
Concise information in a small amount of time
Nice short version
Thank you
If you're going to have a (semi)informative video with fast-paced talking (which is great), then you should not also have music with vocals. It's insanely distracting and makes it hard to watch.
just so everyone knows... thats 196.92whp
thankzz........ :3
I was looking for this. Thanks.
I think the biggest headache would be figuring out all the parts to buy, if they're compatible, good and reliable.
What would worry me also, is removing the previous parts of the car and figuring out if those are the parts that need to be removed.
Putting it together would be the least of the hassle.
Can a turbo be installed on all cars? Like toyota celica vvti? And will you actually notice a big difference
And how much would that cost at the average performance shop to complete? Fuck, thought it woupd be much easier to add a turbo.
i stopped watching when they explained everything we will need.
for me thats not the problem... for me the problem is how to connect it all and make it work. id wanna turbo my beater but i dont know how to even if id get the parts
@@e36fanatics the problem for me is custom piping, I'd need custom piping to get the intercooler set up. Exhaust is fairly easy on my own car because there's some space right next to the engine, and it's also possible to relocate the battery, but unless you know how to weld custom piping ain't gonna be cheap.
"coz nipples are awesome", yep, laughed so hard right there😂😂😂 damn it!!!😂😂😂
Name and pfp checks out
So much info, so little brain capacity!
9 years old today, indeed old videos are what we need
The amount of comments saying get someone else to do it is scary. Why are you people even watching this if you are going to get someone else to half ass your car (the 2nd most expensive purchase you make normally) when you can work to get to learn and master your car. To become one with it
You want so safely install your car a turbo ? wel i know how and you can too !
Take 2-3 days time and use google until you know everypart of your engine and what u need from start to finish to get it done - tools, parts and all that, good luck and its not that hard. If you dont know what to do next = google ! everything is explained there in text and videos or images
+Captain Crunch Welcome to the internet mate!
True that
Step by litlle step..do not be affraid of faillure.
people can do things you know.,but you just have to start doing so and in the end all will be okay .
@MCM
dose this mod change the fuel economy when in normal cruise ?

Upgrade your internals before you even think about turbocharging. You might gain all the power you wanted to in the process. Turbocharging comes at the price of reliability.
+The Stig Meh. Volkswagen engines generally can handle turbocharging near stock. I work with them. Magnesium cases (No cars modernly use this, and these engines were from the 1940s), forged internals etc. My beetle has a near stock engine producing about 120 HP with a turbocharger (For all you snickering, that's 3 times the stock power output on a good day for the stock engine.)
Question I'm new to the car community I'm practically driving a stock car with cool rims and a nice paint job
So how do I exactly upgrade my internals
+IthatoneguyLOL Start with a big bank loan.
Thanks Stig for the tips.
What parts should I upgrade first
This is crazy this is the kinda things I wanna learn! I'm going for an automotive technology career and wanna go far with this
How's the progress?
i wonder if u guys could do some magic on my 1.6 non turbo audi a4 and what u would do to it.
Its slow as fuck no torque.
That was disappointing complicated
Holy fucking shit, my mind just blowup jnosidjoaisfkdsad
450cc... That's the stock fuel injectors for 1g Turbo DSMs.. We go to 550 and up. :P
I wish all videos on here were this concise
So many shot talkers, this is gold:):):):):):)
Excellent clip, you deserve the views!
MX-5 in 1500 bucks....you must be kidding me
even the planning takes more than 5 minutes xD
Only 3,000 dollars! "THAT'S A LOW PRICE!"
hahahah Whats that from again? Not the oxy commercials right? (I forgot)
Yes sir.
Ciber hahah I was right! :3
Out of the world, mental video
I was gonna do this but then I put a performance cone filter on my car and that shockingly made it sound turbo charged. If you are in front of my car, it sounds slightly supercharged and if you are behind my car after I release throttle at high rpms, it does a mellow nice turbo charged sound. It's hilarious 😂
A stock manual ford fiesta 1.6. I like sleepers so I don't do anything to the exterior of my car and it sounding so cool and louder just makes me laugh. It's so stupid and I love it 😂😂
Why can't life be this easy
Play NFS Game and Customize your car .
if you think about this, there is too much drama in cars, ehausts, camheads, cylinders, fuel injectors, +so many things you know,
now for electric cars, its just a motor, batteries, and a controller, thats it, no drama
Solider Armatang you suck
nickdudem
thanks for specifically justifying your opinion, just in case you didnt understand im not saying i hate combustion engines, i prefer electric ones because its less complicated and better for the environment
Solider Armatang I guess if i didn't like the challenge of learning something new then i would agree with you, but nothing can replace the satisfaction of getting all those parts to come together in harmony to turn fuel into a lot of noise, smell and power.. Here is something you could learn - the manufacturing process of electric vehicles and the batteries in them pollute the world worse than its fuel consuming counter parts..
enemy4 2day
The harmony thing you said, agreed, you get to feel your result of all that pain and its pleasing, but i didnt know that last point you made, thanks for sharing
yeah also electronic cars dont have a soul like the combustion engines everything working perfectly and when you rev it hight you feel the power
Im pretty sure this is longer than 5 min puttin n setting a turbo
Correct. This video explains how to turbo in roughly 5 minutes not install, hence the square brackets in the title.
idiot
danny paul I'm afraid your linguistic skills are far to advanced for me to compete with you. Thusly, I shall refrain from communicating with you any further in hope that I do not cause you to lose any more brain cells.
Clive Palmer ummmmmm I dont think he was talking to you.... so ya, you are kind of a idiot :3
Jonathan Vandagriff Whether or not he was talking to me is irrelevant. My point was that stating "idiot" holds no intellectual value in a derogatory remark. You stated that you don't "think" he was talking to me. By the very lack of punctuation and other words in his comment, you are in no position to assume he wasn't talking to me or label me "kind of a[n] idiot".
It took me 3 months to change from a SC engine to a turbo engine on my car. Now I have a SC engine, and a turbo engine. That car already had a Supercharger, and it still took 3 months to swap over. It take a great deal of metal work and fabrication to build a neat system. My turbo makes 28 psi boost on a 6.0 liter Ford-style 8.2 deck block. It makes 958 kW power.
You guys are amazing been watching for 2 days straight lol funny af
Where do these guys be getting their cars for under 2k.. seriously I have a hard time finding a car like that lol. I'm getting desperate to the point of buying a honda civic.
Tony Nguyen so did you buy a civix
Llabjani Beats i want to cnow too
Car auctions, my brother used to transports cars and that's where he usually picked them up from
Well considering THAT particular MX5 was going to be scrapped, it's unsurprising it was that cheap. It's probably got enough damage somewhere that essentially writes it off. Or just rust. Lots of rust.
I just bought an all original 1980 Honda Civic wagon with only 55k miles for $1500. It took months of searching and a 400+ mile round trip drive to get it, but they're out there.
such a tiny turbo!!! :D
such a tiny car!
How to get a faster car? Have someone record you driving your car. After take the footage and replay it at 8x speed..and there you have it, a faster car.
Good thing about putting turbo sounds like you upgrading everything in the car as long the engine and transmission is good
You guys made it look sooo easy 😂
So pretty much don't turbo a non-turbo car
It's a whole lot easier to drop a 350 Chevy in it.
"5 minutes"
Also you forgot about 4000 dollars of materials.
+donald petrocelly "only"
+Gabriel Eguia That's pretty fucking cheap for a turbo build.
Some turbos, like the twins on Camaros can run $15k in parts alone.
Damn! This is not a typical DIY. One has to have a thorough understanding of everything involved
This fuckin video is mint mates! Super easy to understand quick rundown of turbo-ing an N/A car. CHEERS. P.S. will definitely be watching the hours long vids you made
I THINK I WILL JUST BUY A LEAF BLOWER ENGINE AND FIT IN ON TOP OF THE CAR
You need one for each cylinder
I don't get the reason of buying a shitty car and spend 5k to upgrade it just at to keep up with 10k car, Genius!!!
Ofcourse the way u put it doesn't. But bro if ur not earning enough money to spend 5-10k all at once but wanna still be as fast as those cars, then I guess spending money overtime to tune the car u can afford to buy makes sense and tbh may be the only option a car enthusiast has. :(
I buy a car for the reason of building, and upgrading it. My daily driver is a boring auto that's meant to get me to work and back.
I bought a 97 Eclipse from a ricer, so I can restore it, and to what these 2 guys do, which is learn how to do stuff by doing it. I already put more or equal amount of money I payed for it. I'd rather own a car I put hard work into rather than buying a stock fast car and not being to know everything about it.
Plus modding expensive cars is more expensive than modding an old late 90's car. Cheaper spare parts. SUPER cheap.
Depending on the car spending 5K on a 5K car makes it a rocket compared to a car you bought for 10K. But usually it's best to look for a car that is not popular only due to power. Since making power is always easy if you have the cash. A turbo miata if done right will compete with cars that are in the 25~35K range. Especially since the first gen Miatas are right around 2000lbs. Having the same power to weight ratio or better than a lotus elise is pretty awesome.
The point is that you can buy a cheap car and mod it EXACTLY how you want it and end with a build of 10k rather than buying a 10k car and having to spend another 5-10 modding it to the way you want.. Modding doesn't always imply mechanical. It can include sound systems, guage and guage lights, coloured interior trim, etc.
It's about making it YOUR car.
Adnane Djemaa That is a terrible logic, hence why you'd be broke.
i put a old turbo off a ford diesel tractor in a 95 ford aspire mainly because it was cheaper as well as i didnt need any ecu upgrades or add on because it use's vacuum for everything. involved a lot of cutting and welding and fingering where the put the inter cooler, but with a week of work and 15 pound wastgate and ruffly about $300-$400 this little car can now does more than 55mph up a hill. i dont have a dyno but factory this car sits at 65hp with a high geared tranny so hills kill it, but i fixed that, im sure its more but my idea behind it was to make the only down side of this car a positive. i live in montana we have a lot of mountains hill ext. not only did it increase my power when needed but the mpg stayed the same at ruffly 38mpg town and 45mpg hwy so im happy
1. select turbo
2. press x
3. press x for yes if you are sure
You 2 guys as as mad as cut snakes in a tin of metho, could get a jobs as comedians . Very educational & LMAO too. Keep up the good work guys
Hi guys so is any piston customization required?
Good question. I guess if you don't mind your engine making a knock or blow back, then you are good with the old pistons.
I feel like I wasted my time watching this video due to the fact that I didn't understood nothing at all 😂 Great video tho very informative but I need a slower informative one lol BIG THUMBS UP
Lmao “Did I say 5 minutes, haha my bad bro I meant 5 days”😂😂
hi nice that u guys know a lot about turbos. can a turbo be easy upgraded from stock turbo car or is it too much work because u will need new software as well
Turn the background music off.... can't really hear u
I will be interested to see if MCM would try turbocharging a 2009 Jaguar XF 3.0L V6 Petrol. The car already has all the supporting peripherals - brakes, differentials, etc... except the turbo. Would you try?
Waooo This was greatt guys. Realy nice video👍🏼
here's a good one for you why don't you guys try doing up a Honda City Turbo 2 real good nugget from the old days I love your show I've been watching it since day 1
I gotta say , this video explained it qwuik n simple , i gotta 95 honda accord that i wanna do this too...question is , total cost , and what shop can do it, im in L.A. Ca.
Mighty Car Mods. Is it possible to do this to a 1988 Ford/Mercury Cougar if so how much would I have to spend on parts to get the car to do that
