 |
|
| ok well I aint got the ca$h yet to do my 13B CONVERSION, so was thinking as a short term solution I chuck in a Piazza Turbo..anyone got any info on this conversion? and how much PSI can I make the thing boost before I have issues with the GEMINI box/diff and turbo failure? also has anyone changed the stock Piazza Turbo over for an after market or non Isuzu model such as a Toyota CT26 [I think it is] ? thanks |

kepp the dough in ya pocket dude, or if u really want to spend it...u could spend it on the missus, buy that lawnmower u've always wanted, invest in New Zealand Cricket (things can only get better right??), or just treat yaself to a night on the piss with the boys.
either way i reccomend saving your bucks for a brand new car or for that all-mighty 13B conversion!!

piazzas are slow as dog balls and they are unreliable. they are not that bad but when u put it alongside a 13b turbo....woaahhh! if you spend all your money putting in your piazza motor you will never get around to the 13b TRUST ME!.

| zzz staying with a mild port to the engine either series IV/V and then spending the saved ca$h of not having a bridge job done and getting turbo and other mods, so that I have a highly stable engine that's going to go hard and last |
