1.8 DOHC BP Turbo Upgrades
 

The time has come, after this weekend we will finally have a bolt on turbo and manifold for our cars! This manifold is designed for the 90-94 Protege LX, and will bolt up to the 91-96* Escort GT.

*95-up EGT will require custom oil/coolant lines.

I have received the turbo's and on Saturday I will be taking the race car in for the final design. We will also be making a downpipe, cold air intake, and possibly an intercooler system for them.

I have posted some pics of the two available turbo's on my website under the "BLT Products" section. More to come after the weekend.

KOOL! :bt:

bty when i try to access your site, a 'pop-up' says its a password controlled site, and.... i need the password when i registered?!?...what do i need to do to see it? pm me if you need to.
thanx

yeah....................finally.................wi ll wait for details:D

site worked fine for me....no problems at all..........

so should i assume that since i have a sohc engine i will be left out of that sweet sound that is turbo? :(

If someone wants a turbo put on their DX and is in the Socal area I will need their car and a deposit for a few days to get the manifold produced.

It will be available to you guys as well, just with a higher shipping rate ;)

Is the price set yet or do we have to wait a little more ???

The manifolds are going to be $400. The bigger manifold for the t3/t4 is going to be $600. We are looking into getting the T3 manifold cast after the first production. Not sure if it will lower or raise the prices. We are looking into it.. The manifold is done today, I'm going up there to take pics tonight. It'll be bolted on to the motor its derived for ;)

how fast would a protege DX pull that is turbo'd? anyone have any idea? i mean is it even worth to turbo a 103 horsepower car..? or should we just wait for results of a turbo LX and swap in DOHC then turbo. heheh

It's always worth to turbo a car, especially a 103 horsepower one!!!

how so? i'd like to know :)

look under this post (on the forced induction page) for the post 'Pics of turboed 1.6l' and you'll have a few good good reasons :)

Because 103 horses is pretty weak............wouldn't you want it to be a lot faster.........

I am not saying that my 120horse LX is that fast, but you need the Turbo more than I do................get what I am trying to say;)

By the way guys, the turbo manifold is done. Our first one is a one off for a customer and has a external wastegate setup going on soon. The T3 manifold is jigged up and ready for production next week. I have some pics of the T3/T4 manifold with a hybrid turbo on it and a T3 on it. I'll try to get them up tomorrow after work.
