Unless the internals have been beefed up. I'd be vary wary.

 

Would love to see how the SC pulley system looks like behind that cover.

 

Diggin the frayed gaffa tape intake ducting.....

 

This. the last guy i know who added 100+ hp to a stock block ended up with a very nice sized hole in the side of it. Granted, it was a Honda and I told him to sleeve the damn thing, but not alot of factory NA engines can take an additional 120hp of forced induction.

 

Before buying, I'd like to see it do a few dozen laps at a track in Alberta in January.

 

No.

I am curious though, where is the alternator there? Charger sits where alternator is supposed to be.

Also, even though this is MK1, imaging the procedure to replace the coolant tank. It seems like you would need to remove the SC completely.

 

FIFY...there are a lot 5.0 and 5.7 liter V8's out there that will take 10 pounds of boost and crank out an extra 150ish HP all day long.

 

If it would hold up, it'd be a heck of a lot of fun though!

 

Touche....I stand corrected!

 

I turbo charged a ford focus at 9psi for quite long time. ran several track days with some success.

I didnt start blowing rods/pistons until i upped the boost to 15psi.

Motors were $350 with 1 year warranty and I could swap em out in a weekend.

I still wouldn't boost a NA porsche though.

 

How would sleeving help?

 

3923 crazy fools out there, I'm firmly in the crack pipe camp.

 

Slapped a SC on my stock 95 mustang about 15 years ago. Took that stock motor from 225 to 385 hp. Beat the everloving **** out of that car. Held up fine.

 

Nissan's VQ35HR is a fun one. IIRC forged connecting rods from the factory & can handle a s/c that brings power on the 3.5L unit from 306 to ~400+. The serious problems start when you push it past 500 with a TT setup, from what I've read on the never-wrong internet.

Exceptions to the rule.
