Big congratulations!

You know what happens to folks who work a long time on these type of projects and they finally complete it right? They sell the car off. You'll get tired of it and crave something new in a month or two.

Now lets talk shipping. How much would it be to ship to Delaware?

Correction Don't you mean "The only 5-Speed Intercooled Turbo SVX in the world"?

Who has the non-intercooled version? I thought that SVX's turbo was taken off and the car sold.

I think there is a guy in Puerto Rico with with a Laguna Blue SVX that is turboed and intercooled. Someone posted a link to pictures of the car some time ago. The hood was closed, but there appeared to be a rather large intercooler stuffed in the front bumper.

Congrats man! How many psi are you boosting right now? Can't wait to hear progress reports about your car in the future!

OMG that is hot!! Stand-alone management! It looks like it is front wheel drive with no ABS. Through all my research I have never seen this cart before before. But that is so cool!!! It is interesting that we have very similar placement of the turbo. Wow this is exiting. I am not alone yay!! I am going to try to contact him, see how his project turned out and see If he has any numbers for it. Wow just wow!!! Thanks guys

Uh, so Svxtasy....how's the boost?

Are you detecting any knock? How many psi are you running? Have you done any WOT runs yet?

Congratulations, Man. You should be proud. Tom

TomsSVX · #**208** 12-05-2004, 10:18 AM

that laguna blue is still an auto though, so you still do have a one of a kind.

Pure_Insanity8 · #**209** 12-05-2004, 11:02 PM

There is always Chuck's turbo'd SVX. Besides the prototype one on the test car, his is the only one that has a Forced Air Tech turbo kit on it. Too bad it knocked and no fuel delivery or timing (any PCM work for that matter) adjustments were made... so it never really worked properly.

Thought I'd share that little tid-bit for those unaware of it.

beautiful thing !!! but I wonder, what mods did he do to his internals??? can the EG33 handle this monster without breaking down ??

PS: taking the ABS system, not such a good idea...
