If you were to build a 350hp forced induction car, which way would you go?
Forget the Wira. That's old hat. Every backyard mechanic has done one.
Would you go Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Toyota or Mazda? Proton Putra's are OK.
I am thinking I would get a Putra and take it to one of those speed shops and have them plunk in a Evo engine. Maybe upgrade the engine a little bit with new pistons, bigger turbo, etc. Also, put in a new engine management system like Motec.
How about a Waja with a Evo 5 and up engine? It would be hot.
I guess if I were feeling rich, I would get a Silvia and mod it. 350 hp from a Silvia is easy from what I read. You just need a bit of loot!
Anyway, put in your two cents. Which manufacturer, engine management system and who would you have the work done by? Any idea how much it would cost to get 350hp?
By the way, does anyone know how the Evo 4 powertrain is configured, i.e., the transmission on the right side like the Evo 1,2, and 3 or is it like the current version with the transmission on the left and the engine on the right?
While we are at it, is there a transmission with LSD that will fit the Evo 1,2 and 3 engine if we put it in a Putra?
Thanks in advance to all you sifus out there.
