All I did was research everything extensively until I knew everything there is to know about turbos. Then saved some money here and there and took a few months to piece everything together and then did all the work myself.

It can be a fast car depending on what you decide to do with the engine.


The Alero is a compact. It's 5-cubic feet of interior volume from being a mid-size. The Aurora and Intrigue are mid-size.

Yeah but I'm talking like Civic, Celica, RSX compact...actual compact cars. Those are the cars that weigh between 2400-2700 pounds. I would consider the Alero a small mid-size car, the Intrigue a normal mid-size, and the Aurora a large mid-size/small full-size.

There's only 4 cubic feet of interior space difference between a Civic (101ft^3) and an Alero (105ft^3). The RSX (97ft^3) and Celica (95ft^3) are sub-compact.

Look up how much a BMW Z3 wieghs. For how small that car is, I sure thought it would weigh less...wow what a pointless thread.
