funny thing is, Fiero owners on .nl actually use these turbos on their cars. How sad.

What's sad about it? It's the lawnmower engine it's not sized for, not the other. That turbo can make ~250-300hp pushing it, that's more than any stock Jonboat Anchor will ever see. It's tiny, but not that tiny.

pardon me for saying this - but just because they have enough exhaust coming out of the lawnmower engine to make the wheels spin doesn't mean its doing jack shit - try looking at the compressor map for the smallest turbo you can find and put the flow from a 2hp brigs at 4000rpm into it.. won't even touch the map, IE it does nothing but restrict exhaust flow. and it probably barely does that since there is so little exhaust to start with.

its hard enough to find a turbo sized for a 30hp engine - nothing is going to be able to build boost on a lawnmower engine.

That's obvious, I think they did it as a total joke.

which is why shaun's mocking fiero owners for using that turbo is pointless.. but thats ok - I just want to see him finish his 2.8 turbo so we can see how well he does it :la:
