Hi Vegie,

Plenty of info here and at spyderchat.com, try a search.

Or even browse down a few posts eg - "C2 Power Turbo", "which turbo to choose" etc.

BTW. Only one person in the world has managed to supercharge their Mk3 and they now have a big hole in the firewall

yep

turbo or 2ZZ (or 2ZZ + turbo, true :p) are the only "realistic" options

Newbies...I'm sure V8 would fit and to get best of both worlds, install a SC and a turbo...and then nitrous s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:

I think there might be a problem with the V8 + sc + turbo + nos. The hood might not come all the way down...

yes m'lud, sorry, we beg your forgiveness... s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

but seriously, if you had the money to do a V8+sc+turbo+nos conversion, then surely you'd have the cash to have a custom engine lid made, with a wackin great bulge in the middle or something!?!!?!?! s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

anyway, back to the topic! s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

If you are serious for such power, you can get a 503E (race version of 3S-GTE) for $17,500 plus whatever shipping+taxes will be. People have already mounted 3S-GTE in our car, so it can be done.

960hp with regular pump gas, up to 1200hp with race gas, maybe more.

If you're not serious, keep on daydreaming s:roll: :roll: s:roll:
