sohc turbo aka "the turtle"

[Ace]

I could imagine how quick it is lol, I'm surprised on how my small turbo pulls the car around, and the sohc isn't a hell of a lot different from a BP (bottom end wise) so it should take the punishment for a while lol

what? crank, pistons, and rods are different and a different compression ratio.

yea it diffently pulls very nice.. i love the torque it has.. should be driving it this weekend. been to bbusy at work havent had any time to weld up the down pipe. ill get a video of it..

Good luck with your build

side exit looks nice! I like how you've also added a lower bumper skirt to the stock protege bumper lol, not much else out there asides the JDM bumpers...

what? crank, pistons, and rods are different and a different compression ratio.

I never said identical Steve...geez lol. Block is the same, rods are the same stroke, pistons are the same bore, and the crank? ya it's lighter and apparently just as strong...c/r is 8.9:1 vs our BP 8.8:1, not much different! lol

thanks i got bored. wait till the hood is done that im making..

[Mazda_Powered]

nice lol, ya, can't fit much behind the stock front bumper as it is.

Curious about the hood tho, I have an idea for mine as well to keep the underhood temps a bit lower...

[boostfreak]

im good with fiberglassing.. so i took a vert hood and cut the scoop and molded it to mine.. its kind of like the invader but has a slit in the middle.. it looks dope.
