I never said that you could not modify a car to have more safe , usable power . In your own words , if done right . Just that most people don't think things all the way through . They get blinded by greed of power . I also like small displacement cars . That is why I only build 4 cyl and rotary cars . One more thing to keep in mind , whatever we do to our cars , the big boys can also do to their cars ......

cool, it just sounded like you were completely putting down the idea of a turbo yaris, thats all.

so you are also into rotaries? me too. hopefully i can get my hands on a Datsun 1200 so i can swap in a 12A next couple of years. but those chassis are so hard to find in good condition...

A 1200 , are you talkin about about a 510 Datsun ? send me a pic . Alot of people in these parts are not car savvy .I'll keep my eye out . Just so you know my finders fee is a Mt. Dew . Yeah I love rotaries . Such smooth power delivery . I built the car below . 10th Anny . 125 K on my rebuild and still going strong.

Oh , I'm sure you know this , but don't forget the thermostat and flapper valve for your oil cooler . It will keep your oil cooler from blowing up while the engine reaches operating temps . If you didn't know this Peterson Fluid can help you out . Also you may wanna think about an inline oil filter . It is really cool b/c I don't have to buy oil filters anymore . I just unscrew the filter , remove and rinse the metal element with solvent and then blow dry with air compressor . And the end is interchangeable so that you can add ports for oil senors(s) . See pic below. I learned this trick from those Nascar boys .

Nah a turbo Yaris is totally feasible , but not for 2.5k and be reliable

If you really wanna be impressed , go check out the new Super Duty Ford F-350 . The whole front end is nothing but coolers . There is even a turbo cooler (fluid).
