projects you dream up.

Seems like every other day I come up with one, today's:

79 Toyota 2wd Pickup, Shortbox. Slammed, 16" Supra 5 spoke wheels, 20R, custom propane/small turbo setup(ct20 twin scroll?), Welded 4wd 4.37 rear diff, 4wd fenders and box sides, 1983 mirrors. It would be a metallic sea foam green colour, the wheels would be gun metal. Interior, 1983 SR5 steering wheel and MkII Supra cloth bucket seats.

I am not going to reopen this, but I will comment....the above mentioned dream build is a bad idea from a physics standpoint....While it is true that turbocharged engines can achieve better than what we classify as 100% volumetric efficiency, they MUST have a load against the engine to do so (in given circumstances turbos can assist in achieving 105% volumetric efficiency). Even with propane to spool it faster a pickup with a light rear end, crappy suspension, tall rims, and stiff tire sidewalls would mean tire spin and a loss of volumetric efficiency.....when you lose the load against a turbo, you fall into negative volumetric efficiency....meaning it robs the engine of power
