How to Turbo - Part 1

After buying a Euro car last episode, Marty discovers he has not yet found his perfect vehicle... In this extended episode, we reveal what he got, and show how to make it faster.

Also something to note around Mighty Car Mods: we are normal guys and are not trained mechanics. We like to make interesting car mods and show you how we've gone about it, but we can't promise that anything we show you will work for your particular car, or that you won't harm yourself, someone else, your car or your warranty doing it. Please be safe, be responsible and unless you know what you're doing, do not fool around with very serious machinery just because you've seen us make it look so easy. Talk to a qualified mechanic if you are in any doubt.

If you look in the parking lot at about 4:02, you will see on the right-hand side of the screen the fourth-generation Subaru Legacy/Liberty that will eventually become Supergramps.

Why would you go through all that effort to install a turbo when you can just paint racing stripes on your car and give it a 200 bhp boost?

Just bought a Miata so it's time to rewatch this series

Hell yes! An oldie, but will always a goodie, the MX5 turbo build featuring Turbo Yoda! I've been missing Al for a long time. I built a turbo Civic around this time and it was so much fun to drive. I yanked the single cam engine and swapped in a 1.8L DOHC non-VTEC Integra engine and turbocharged it with the same injectors and tune and it pulled SO hard on an eBay turbo. I drove it that way for 25, 000 miles and it ecentually spun a rod bearing. The guy who sold me the engine told me that it had 85, 000 miles on it, and it was really clean inside, so I didn't rebuild it. Then, when it spun the rod bearing he finally told me that it had 225, 000 miles on it...I said thanks. I rebuilt it in my dirty garage and with the same eBay turbo it made 412 whp at 15 psi. It was so much fun on the street.

I remember watching this when it came out in 2013, This series alone made me buy my first MX-5 a couple of months ago and now it's getting ready for boost 👌

[MrRobotRooster]

As a engineer/welder myself it’s so tempting just to turbo every engine I see. Whether it be a car or bike engine. I’ll do it one day though. Keep up the good content guys

I watched this series religously 7 years ago when it came out.... I am now Turbocharging my R32 and feel like I have gone back in time.
Long Live Mighty Car Mods!

I just wish turbo kits weren't so damn expensive!

[AirMechMoto]

I think you know your addicted to MCM when you can watch an episode you've seen multiple times and still be able to laugh and enjoy yourself!

[mightycarmods]

[CaptainCocaine]

I thought Moog was making shit up about the snails for a laugh.  They really do have 14, 000 teeth.

[erasmus_locke]
