The slingshot for performance is pretty damn amazing even in stock form with crap tires, brakes, and tires. With just basic upgrades, suspension, tires, brakes the machine eats corners like high speed roller coaster.
Adding a V8 and a 4th wheel with a weight at 2k the power to weight ratio...
I didn't provide a link because what we do now has nothing to do with the Elio so their is no point in my mind. Who knows if 3-4 psi yields good HP allot of components could be left out and the price would drop substantially. But like I said until I strap one to the dyno its all a theory and...
Hard to say without testing it on the dyno and seeing how string the internal parts are first. If I had to guess I would say 4-5 psi maybe more with head studs. I'll post up a link when its relevant and I get on board as a vendor. We have done a few of the kits, not all of them have a V8...
That will be most likely the general norm. I think after-market will be more geared for the owner that isn't buying this out of necessity and would like to be different and have more power.
So back to the original post on adding a turbo. Installing a after-market turbo is very common in all vehicle platforms. Even if the engine was not built for forced induction it can still be done and be safe if done right, yielding amazing results.
Turbo kits and price. Price is always a...
All of our performance parts are designed/engineered in CAD then we 3D print the parts to fit make changes. Once thats done a prototype is made and installed and tested on our chassis dyno. Working/making parts for new engines is actually pretty simple. A engine is a engine and they all...
Yes. The 4th wheel kit I built. I do allot of parts for trikes. Depends on what state. Here in Wi we just run them as trikes still. some states its a kit car, home made vehicle etc...
