my ride vt ecotec

Post by vt3.8lt »

hey guys ive decided to post this for everyone to have a look at at my ride this is the first forum ive posted it onto possibly will be the only not sure yet ok so here goes its a 98 vt berlina ecotec its done unknown amount of ks from a $500 wrecker engine (original was dead when i got it)

the turbo thing started of as curiosity and has evolved its way into what it is today it first had a rb20 ceramic turbo on a crappy made log manifold i made it did ok for what it was to be honest but i come to realise that turbo was way to small i ended up buying a new one and decided that if i had a new turbo for it i would make new manifolds etc etc for it to.

so yeah i hope you guys enjoy its been a mission ive done everything myself as you will probably notice :shh:
