Turbo Justy Project

I recently purchased a cheap 93 Justy 4WD and am in the process of modifying slightly. The engine is going to be pulled next week after I return from a business trip and rebuild! There is a bit of custom welding and piping to be done. I will keep you all posted if you are interested in seeing a silly Justy sleeper

I thought I would share some photos

The Justy

The Small 1.2L engine
(yes 3 cylinders) the engine bay has a lot of room compared to an SVX or others.

I will be using a IHI RBH5 VF4 that will be put on this bad boy. Small and lower PSI, should be a perfect choice for the small 1.2L

Feel free to post comments, suggestions and heckling.

Re: Turbo Justy Project

Dang, a 9-valve engine. I'm gonna go ahead and bet there aren't too many of them in the world - at least, not in cars. Subscribed.

Does your car have the CVT? They've always fascinated me. I rented a Nissan Maxima that had one, and I thought it was way cool, but I'd really like to drive one of the Audi CVT's that do all the "lookit me, I'm pretending to be a box full of gears" tricks.
