Well, BV Motorsports WAS running a turbo'd 2.5L, but I bought the kit from him and used it for a bit. Now another forum member owns it.

Steven (BV Motorsports) made it COMPLETELY clear that running anything more than 8-9psi on even a slightly modified duke is unsafe. That engine was simply not built or meant for that type of application. Running a moderate 4-6 on the other hand is about all that is safe and reliable...

You sure are pissing a lot of people off on here lately aren't you?

(Edit) and the turbocharger used was an IHI-RHB5. That's Isuzu. Is it rice?

So does olson own an import because he has a 2.5l with the turbo kit?

blink!...blink!...blink!...blink!...blink!...blink!...blink!...blink!...
It takes a good number of people to do two things you've accomplished on this thread:
1. Even get a rating bar.
2. Get a red blinking rating bar!

To me, it looks like you pissed some people off. And rightfully so. So far you seem to have simply proved your own ignorance.

-Here he tells of how weak 300HP is and how he can get way more out of a BEETLE.

"I can get 1000hp out of a volkswagen beetle(original) engine, been done before. And now you want me to be impressed of a honda civic with 300hp. pst."

-Now here he is bragging about how America got 300 weak HP out of a 2L

"and the comeback which i already proved before. So what 300hp out of a 2.0l. We(america) already pulled that off. And there was a thread not too long ago with a sunfire running 600?hp. And that is something current."

-Now he says that 300HP is decent- hell, you can get 300HP in a fiero N/A! WOW! And he says turbos don't impress him...

"300hp was something we had in the 60s with musclecars and it even sounded good.
300hp out of the fiero drag car with the superduty four cylinder with no turbo or a supercharger. 300hp ricer with a turbo and it sounds like a motorcycle. I should be amazed. NOT!"

-...but if he had a turbo, he would make that duke/SD4 fly...

"someone on here ran 200hp out of the iron duke.
350hp out of the superduty. 4 banger. If it had a turbo, it would get a lot more then 350hp. Especially when 350hp was a lot back in the 80s."

"Same goes as most ricers just sticking a turbo on there. Easy HP gain. "

"There was also a fiero 2.5l turbo kit that was being sold back in the day.
Pst, people on this forum dont have any knowledge of the fiero."

"...Like it is hard to add two turbos on a car. Its still a piece of **** car."

-I don't even have to point out the faultiness of those previous arguments. Are you for or against turbo? And would a fiero with a turbo duke be a "piece of **** car"? So you think the stock duke could have over 200HP with no turbo? Because turbos are crappy. Oh yeah, and even if you get 350HP, it still sucks because 350HP is NOTHING!

-So here he goes, telling us how awesome that damn beetle is with it's pointless 1000HP. Who needs 1000HP?

"go to any ford or chevy/pontiac website. Theres a vw beetle running 1000hp.
I would image a lot of european cars have hit the 1000hp mark. The BMW has."

"If i did road racing or drag racing, then my 1000hp car would be an investment. Otherwise, why?"

heres a video to prove my point. It is useless in spending tons of money
to get a car somewhat fast. especially ricers. Car gets 0wned by a motorcycle.
