supercharging the subaru justy

[XxhorizonxX]

well i kind of wanted to be cheap. ill grab a manifold from a metro motor and see if it bolts up and go from there. fueling it will be quite easier since its multi port. heh this thing orta be quite a blast. i wonder if any gti suspension parts might swap over.

Not sure about suspension parts. It would be cool if they do fit.

As for a manifold, the only one that might possibly fit is one from the 86-88 Chevy Sprint Turbo. The manifold is different on the 89-91 G10 Turbo.

It would make for a fun car. Especially AWD.

would make a neat little corner carver if they fit....... ill have a look at some mertos and swifts and do come comparisons. another thing it has tiny brakes. i wonder if the vented rotors might go on?

i wonder if i could make a manifold like you did? cut off the flange and weld on a flange and stick a t25 or an rhb5 on there. man this is getting cooler and cooler the more i think about it. so the heads are different after 88?

this is gonna be fun. imagine 150 horsepower 1900 pounds and 4 wheel drive.

Yes, the heads are different after 88.

To make my manifold, I used a piece of 3/8" thick flat stock steel for the flange and traced the manifold gasket on it and cut it out. I used 1-1/4" schedule 40 weldable pipe for the manifold runners. 1 elbow and 2 tees. The last tee I welded on a flange for the turbo. It is a simple log design that does the job well.

As for the brakes, my Metro originally had non-vented rotors with tiny 10mm lug studs and 12" wheels. I converted to larger vented rotors, 12mm studs and 13" wheels from a 95 and newer Metro/Swift. The same brakes were also found on 89-93 Metro convertibles.

The Merc one is essentially an Eaton M90, and might be a little large, unless you can find an underdrive pulley. An M62 from a GM might be a better choice, at least you have plenty of options as far as pullies go there.

Those little Aisin SCs are awesome little units, a guy I know is working on adapting a PAIR of the larger versions to run a 93 Escort GT with. It'll be weird!

what about an m45? i know where one is close. ill probably just go turbo though now. pbody has convinced me.
