c25ahatch

I have one as well. I purchased it from another member here. It is in excellent condition as far as making a mold is concerned. I am looking into two options. Fiberglass is one, and a roto-molded plastic is the second. For that matter, CF-1 will do carbon fiber, but they are not close to me. If and when I get some information, I will let you all know.

I looked into it a while back. The variable vanes on the turbo are controlled by the ECU, which are virtually impossible to find at this point. You can retrofit a a different turbo, but I would rather start with a 2.7 and build my own turbo system. I am picking up a 2.7 in the next couple of weeks. Just need to find the time to run down to Oregon.

More info about the c20a turbo can be found here;

*edit* It seems the ebay engine does have an ECU. Very interesting!

Makes sense to me. Small diameter lower profile wheels/tires on the driven end of the car to effectively change the final drive ratio, improving acceleration. The rears I would assume to be your standard street rims/tires. If I am correct, I would recommend putting small diameter, narrow rear tires on as they would save you some rotational mass and theoretically improve acceleration as well.

Any pictures to rub it in with? I would have really liked to have been there.

Big suprise. Something has come up and I cannot make it. Next local meet that gets posted, I am keeping my mouth shut. It seems every time I commit to going, life gets in the way. Hope you guys have a blast. Make sure to post pics!
