What other turbo cars are out there for cheap? I really wanna drive a turbo but i cant find any T11's around here that I can buy

try buying an 89-93 240sx with a blown motor for less than 1000.

you can swap in an sr for 3500 including a full 3" exhaust and boost controller. (maybe 230-250-whp)

DSM eagle talon tsi or mistubishi eclipse GST or GSX. those are pretty cheap and turbo and can be made fast easily!

yeah i got burned by one a n eclipse turbo with an fmic the other day... i was at 6000 in 2nd and he pulled on my lke i wasnt moving

cheap turbo cars ive been looking and researching them for awhile my list is composed of:



nissan/datsun 280zx turbo(late 70's early 80's)

nissan/datsun 300zx turbo(80's)

toyota supra mk 3?(86.5 to 92) might get lucky



MITSUBISHI STARION!!!!! cheap somewhat easy to find, powerful 4cyl turbo, rear wheel drive, good group ofowners/enthusiasts, good selection of aftermarket parts, good tunability



two in the local autotrader for under 2k....

My coworker has a starion built to hell apparently (never seen it, he just talks about it all the time... it's been in storage since I can remember)... from what I've heard from him, in stock form they are really horrible cars. 2 injectors, TBI. Strange valves in the head for 'promoting swirl' which tend to cause head cracks, iirc that motor also has balance weights?

But they also seem to go like hell, very torquey motor (long stroke) good for turbo, and some models/years were imsa raced iirc? so the gas tank is huge and drivetrain very beefy on those models. Just some of my limited knowlege of the car, sounds like it would be a fun car to modify for racing, if you can find one with no rust.

Omni GLHS and Charger GLHT. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Along with the Shelby daytona,daytona R/T(If you find one for cheap damn 16v engine)and the Spirit R/T(Sleeper 4dr with 202hp)Or the Merkur XR4TI and Mustang turbo.Another would be the 323 GTX AWD.Those are pimpin yo. :bigok:

Starion was THE car to mod back in the 80's and early 90's.

And of course the Grand National

Chrysler had alot of turbo cars in the 80's, you could always pick yourself up a fine turbo Lebaron, or even a turbo New Yorker, lol

Audi 5000 Turbo Quattro - can be had practically free, makes 160hp stock but 225 with chip and wastegate spring from APR, weighs only about 3200lb (pretty light for a biggish sedan), can be tuned up pretty much as far as you want to go.



There's a guy in Sweden who builds these 10 valve turbo fives up to over 700hp. They are pretty bullet proof.



And the quattro will be nice in New England. Actually wherever and whenever conditions aren't perfect. Launching with one or two wheels on a gravel patch? It doesn't care . . . just grips and goes.
