Interesting.

Going to chime in.


Jayraptor has his points, but he's presenting it with his limited knowledge so his points don't make much sense. The more he tries to defend himself, the deeper the hole he digs.


As for the TS.
Before you do anything to your car, there are some questions you will have to ask YOURSELF.

1) what expectations do you want for your car?
- don't expect supercar level of performance from a BOT. You will be running very very low boost given the high compression ratio of your pistons.
2) understand that your stock fuel system will not be able to handle the fuel requirements for force feeding. Also understand that your ECU and sensors are not built to work with force feeding. At the very minimal, you will need a piggyback.

General rule of thumb, if your BOT cost 5K, prepare at LEAST 2x that for other supporting mods, and another 2x that for things that would go wrong.


Also know that, production cars are already optimized given the budget. Doing anything extra may not be proper and may be detrimental to your engine's (and the rest of your car's) reliability.

Not to say a BOT kit wont work, but there are 101 ways a BOT kit will ruin your car if you do not understand the technology behind force feeding your engine.


I have built many turbo engines from 4G63 and 4G64 blocks and I can tell you, turbo charging is not as easy as just bolting on a turbocharger.

In fact, ironically, one of the more interesting turbo engines I have worked on was in fact based on a G4CS Hyundai block (close relative of the Mitsu 4G63/64)


Like I said, you have to tell us what you are expecting, and maybe some of us can advise what needs to be done.



I you really really want a turbo Forte, scout around and see if the half cut shops would bring in Hyundai/KIA's GDI 2.0L Turbo
