Nov 16, 2011 · I ran a Fiat 128 with the Yugo head on regular pump gas as a DD for a long time, I think it only got the CR to like 9.8:1 if I remember right. Cam....haahahahahahaha. Actually they are out there, but not common. Your best bet for performance is megasquirt and a home brewed turbo. But honestly my Yugo was a stock 1.3 with some exhaust work and a ...

Apr 22, 2016 · IIRC, the Honda swaps are pretty hard to do, because the Yugo Brake booster is squarely in the way of anything Honda. The X 1/9 is a direct bolt-on. In fact, anything X 1/9 is a direct bolt on- an X 1/9 is essentially a Yugo with the drivetrain moved to the middle of the car driving the rear wheels. The 1500 is a nice choice that revs incredibly.

Mar 11, 2011 · Also, the Uno Turbo motor isn't really anything special, just a low compression motor with oil squirters on the rods and a turbo manifold. Find the exhaust manifold overseas and modify your rods, put it all together with some MegaSquirt and enjoy.

Jan 19, 2012 · Friend of mine emailed today, one of his buddies is selling an 87 Sprint Turbo. Runs good, has a new turbo.

Mike set out to find the cheapest, running turbo Dodge possible, and he found his car on eBay, the popular online auction house. "I won the eBay auction with a bid of $121," he says.

Aug 20, 2012 · Our individual projects (Rotary Lotus, Yugo, Turbo Supra) will go forward with sights set on $2013. Our joint entry is a Nissan 280zx powered by a T58-GE-1C turbine engine running through a hydrostatic drive… either that, or its a disused NASA track day car that we purchased, pull out of mothballs, then freshened, tuned, and updated for the ...

Mar 14, 2018 · Turbo and manifolds came off this afternoon. Found a sweet huge crack in the exhaust manifold... Scott in Denver. Awesome just can't be contained Scott...
