Turbo a Geo?, Geo for $600, turbo for $100? Options

[rudeboy3d]

So I'm going through my local paper and checking out the car ads as usual... A $600 5 speed Geo is listed there. Kind of caught my attention, for whatever insane reason. Anyways, with my All-Trac leaving the casa, the 6th gen arriving begining of the month, and the van being sold, I was wondering...




I know its possible, but would it be worth it, to turbo a Geo, or other POS? I'm lookin for a car to have some fun with (in a "stupid fun" sense). Obviously, I am no mechanic, and I wouldn't want to f-up my Celica, so I am kind of thinking about getting a little shxtbox just to "trick out" and show up some of the local Civic jackasses.


I was also wondering if anyone else has ever had a "Dr. Frankenstein" idea like this, and if you actually went through with it, and what your results were.....








*Checks clock* 3:00 A.M. ........... Ahhhh, insanity never sleeps.

my friends actually got a 3cylinder geo metro thats hez in the midst of turboing it. He found a kit for like $600 or something like that for the entire turbo kit. He was originaly gonna plan on duing a 1.3L turbo motor swap from the swift 1.3T. But yea, the power to weight ratio is stupid on thouse things. There are like 20 guys running around the GTA right now runnin in geos and swifts and fireflys that are all souped up. Some of them look good but some of them are stupidly fast.
