My Turbo Proton Project

[ABDragonVX]

Hey Leon R, goodluck with the project. I can't recall but I was curious how you did in the 1/4 mile. My friends are bugging me to hit the track next weekend. Are you worried about the transfer case or any other drivetrain components breaking?

The video is in the first link I posted, but I ran 17.0's at 80. I could really feel the big tires slowing me down . I would love to compare it to someone else.

I was concerned about blowing the tranny or causing some engine damage mainly because my VX has 164k miles, but it performed flawlessly.

The rest of the drivetrain (diffs, axles and transfer case) should not be in danger from this stock engine.

Sounds like a fun project.

There are some photos on here someplace of a JDM with mid-mount turbos but I'm not sure where to start looking.

Perhaps someone can post them up in this thread...
