Is there any interest here for a turbocharger kit for the 4cyl fiero?

I've been asked if I would replicate my kit for others to buy, and if there's enough interest I think it'd be fun to do.

The only difficult parts would be to get the Throttle Body hat and the custom exhaust manifold duplicated.

Otherwise, I could put a kit together really easily. If there is enough of a market I just may start on that!

What do you think?
This is a picture of the kit when it was almost finished.

Some of the things that the kit would/could include:

1. Instruction booklet with lots of pictures and contact info.
2. Full MSD Ignition System (MSD 6AL, MSD BTM, MSD blaster coil, MSD-GM wiring harness)
3. IHI RHB6 Turbo charger
4. Boost Guage, Air/Fuel Guage setup
5. Custom TB Hat
6. Custom Exhaust Manifold
7. Custom Oil Pan (Oil Return modified)
8. All Fuel & Oil Lines
9. All plumbing
10. Air intake filter & Breather Filter
11. Blow off Valve
12 Manual or Electronic Boost Control
13. All hoses and clamps
14. Secondary injector setup w/hobbs switch
15. Modified fuel line
16. Turbo Decal(s)
17. Modified Corner vent for air intake (Optional for air intake placement)
18. Mounting equipment
19. All necessary nuts and bolts

The only thing that would have to be fabricated would be the exhaust system. It cost me $20 for a local shop to connect the turbo to my exhaust system.

It would depend on the cost and what kind of results one would get from the system? How many dollars and how many horses. I have contemplated a turbo for about a year now on my 88 coupe but have not started yet.

Also would there be stages to the kit??? Cost is the biggest factor. I know but why spend 2500 on a turbo for a 2.5 when you can spend less on a swap? or even a whole new car. Don't get me wrong I love the Idea but need to be realistic.

Dont' tell me that hood scoop is actually attached to your car Oslo?

DOnt' mean to hijack your thread just curious

P.S. OSLO pm me please

All right, I'll get some number crunching done for a price. It'll be a day or two though...

I am also interested.

I have been testing the market for the Duke turbo kit and have a tentative design on paper.
There are far more Duke engine Fieros than V6 ones but I'm not sure if that many Duke owners would pop down the $2000+ that the kit would cost. You would also need to add the larger TBI unit if you don't already have one. The early small TBI units just don't flow enough air and are restrictive. If you decide to come out with the kit then you'll be the man but I believe that you'll need to have all of the engine mangement (chip program) issues worked out beforehand. By keeping the rev limit to a safe level and with the right chip program; a stock Duke can be succesfully boosted to around 135 HP. IMO if you crank up the boost high on these engines be prepared for thrown rods.

Respect to the killer turbo duke though!
