Default Probably asked a thousand times...

I found a 94 VR-4 for sale locally that is a great deal, however it has high mileage and it needs some exterior and interior TLC, so I was thinking about maybe just getting an SL, but I definetly want Turbo...are there any Turbo Kits on the market for SLs?

yes twin turbo it. using exactly the same stuff the vr4 has. its the same motor minus the turbo and equip. supposedly fwd is better than fwd due to the compression. ut you lose traction compared to awd.

How much does it usually cost to get the VR4 parts in the SL and where would I go to get them, just search junkyards?

The main reason I dont know about the VR4 is it has 200,000 miles, the interior needs redone, there is some minor rust on the exterior as well as sun wear on the hood....

1. How much is the VR4 your lookin at

and

2. Do you REALLY wanna go through the BS of turboing a n/a car? do the read ups on it

you will probably just jump on the VR4 while you have the chance after reading them! and if anything else if the VR4 is a steal part it out and make some cash haha

Haha yeah I am trying to tell my dad that...plus I am sure we could try even asking the guy to lower the price also. If not my friend Steve has a VR-4 he ma sell soon so I could try and get that. his also has some minor rust on the roof, minor front end damage, and 142,000 miles...

um no fwd is not better...10:1 is a high compression. the vr4 uses 8:1, much better for boost.

personally since you have the chance id get the vr4 and just give it the TLC. it will be rewarding in the end. its alot easier to modify an already turbo car, than to conver one to turbo.

and the single turbo kits for the sl are not cheap
