sorry about that i am having a hard time with photo uploads but i posted new link . many many more pics to come and drag strip will be open in a month so videos too .

Was the supercharger one of the um this maybe cool ideas? It looks pretty cool tho the neon intake is weird to see on that motor over all I want to see how this ends and nice work.

its not a neon intake its the eclipse lower runners and i built the plenum 70mm throttle body and all the plenum parts where ordered from ross machine racing and i just machined out the bottom of plenum for our runners . the supercharger is an eaton m90 and it is a future plan . i just havent built the adapter plate yet or a pully and tensioner . i have two of the superchargers tho and will sell one of them . just make offer plus shipping .

Looks badass. Will you be at the shootout?

put it in ur 2g instead!

Thanks bud when is shootout and where? I will try to i still have to finish motor mounts and cage lots of wires and get slicks. But will be fun im shooting for low 11s

Very different but interesting.

im deff going to try and come to this see if i can put car on back bumper lol . if that is ok since the car isnt a dsm chassis ? i should also have my new turbo and 2.4 swap fully built by then . im going holset :)

ok this might sound crazy but i just picked up a holset turbo for realy cheap like 50 dollars and it came with a new bearing and seals :) . well i have been doing lots of research on compound charging with turbos and i think im going to use my air research to spool up the holset and do the twin turbo setup . realy interested in how it will work . i know spool time wont be very bad since the will be helping each other spool up . what do yall think?

what trans is that?

There are quite a few cars there that are DSM engines in different bodies, nothing wrong with that. As far as compound turbo chargers, they are bad ass, but hard finding a clutch that can handle the gigantic power numbers that low in the RPM, look at paul Volk's dyno.

sweet i will try to come but no promise's yet i am running a clutch net custom 3 puck clutch and center force pressure plate increased 80% . and the trans is out of a 87 Toyota supra turbo , trans code r154. jeep wrangler 4wd bell housing. the wrangler and liberty from 03-04 2.4l4 2wd and 4wd bell housing bolts directly to our 420a block . keep questions coming lol.

why not use the jeep trans then? and turbo or non turbo supra?

i ask cause im thinking of trying to convert my GS to rwd

OHHH and what clutch and flywheel set up could i use?

Jeep tranny not as strong as supra trans and turbo model you will need to run a neon fly wheel and pressure plate and disk that will fit the spline of transmission and the flyeheel of the 420a. Love to see it done

look at paul Volk's dyno.

his build thread is one of my favorites i have read so many times i feel like my eyes will bleed lol.

there is a guy turbododge that swapped a 2.4 rwd into a 1977 celica. he used a m5 tranny out of a chevy colorado, with a hyd tob setup.

http://www.turbododge.com/forums/f11/f68/350208-my-rwd-turbo-dodge-1977-toyota-9.html

sick build! wish it was in a 2g though = 2.4 rwd in a 2g owns!!

my 2g is in eclipse heaven now lol due to dumb ass ford drivers ... and an embankment chassis was tweaked . and the m5 is ok but the r154 is superior .

sucks to hear about ur 2g bud... but u can scoop up an esi/rs with a blown engine or front end crash for dirt cheap.

might have to make it a future project lol he he .. but for now the rz7 chassis was a simple one to mod for this engine trans combo but mabey after a good tune a donor 2g tube chassis would be cool .

agreed! that'll be my project if we make it into 2013

I just csnt wait for this weather to warm so i can finish it and go racing

Photos updated and new turbo holset h2e lol compound charge getting closer.

Different that's for sure I'm new to posting but have been lurking for a bit did you go thru the motor change anything like pistons or bore or anything and have you changed compression at all, sorry if I sound like a #### I'm new to the whole car modding thing lol

More pics new motor slicks and few others

sorry it took so long to start back on this project i had alot of tranny issues with throwout bearing clearances . but it runs now and is a success to have a running rwd 420a :) . so here is the first running video i have so far just got running today . http://s1148.photobucket.com/albums/o578/nzty420a/?action=view¤t=2012-06-08_09-50-18_469.mp4

this may be a dumb question but i saw the pic with the supercharger. are you going to do a supercharger and a turbo? can that be done? never seen it before. nice build man:thumbsup

It's called 'twin-charging.' Lancia popularized the process in their old rally cars. Yes, anything is possible. Most folks generally opt for one or the other, because of the maddening complexity added with twincharging. To my knowledge no one with a 420a 2g has done this.

cool deal, learn something new everyday!! looks good man. love seeing people do new things that haven't been done

Thanks to the very few of our 2gnt members who actually appriciate my build thread.

Seems like a waste of time and money you'll probly just blow te tranny all over the road

well if thats how you feal about the only rwd 420a car on this forum but hey its obvious that you are the average honda bitch . your previous post was im new to posting and car moding now you are judging people on this forum . let me know how that works bc bashing peopls builds is a ricer move kid ! .. going to drift comp friday with car i will post video and pics thanks to all who like build

Haters will hate just let them, I think the build is awesome and provides great info for others that want to do something like this.

Did you have to modify anything to get the trans to fit right? ive heard that you need to machine the bell housing like half inch to make it fit righ

Great job piecing this beast together nzty420a. Glad to see someone is experimenting.

Next project=Put that trans in a 2g with a solid rear axles =)
What other info can you give us on how you got the trans and bellhousing to all fit properly? Any clearance issues inside the bellhousing? Does the trans bolt directly to the bellhousing no problem?

update :) The car is back together nothing is getting sold since eveyone thinks that im an idiot and cant design a working rwd conversion videos by the end of the month for yall . thanks

the first run with bigger turbo and few changes

Awesome

First burnout on the new motor and turbo untuned still just for the haters lol!! ENJOY !! http://s1148.photobucket.com/albums/o578/nzty420a/?action=view¤t=2012-09-23_13-05-44_48_zpsc2cb2e3e.mp4

Awesome!

keep the updates coming. thats something to br proud of

Nice!

Very impressive. Keep up the great work man.

rofl. "Fuck all y'all bitches" Love it! Awesome man!

Oh shit got a fresh tune on that shit !!! http://s1148.photobucket.com/albums/o578/nzty420a/?action=view¤t=VID_20120926_181705.mp4

this is very cool

This isnt twincharged yet is it?

That is absolutly fucking awesome.... The best mod ive seen with that engine. But what would be even more insane is taking the 420a, and making a rwd possible in the 2g body..... long shot, but it would throw people for a damn loop.

BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

awesome project!

on another note, the 420a looks good in rwd form.
