I just spoke with Corky Bell "Owner of Bell Engineering". He also wrote a comprehensive book on turbos. I guess you could say he is his own acredited source. Anyway, we spoke for about 25 minutes. He was extremely informative, nice and very willing to help us out. This is what he told me:
"When constructing any turbo kit for a car, the manufacturer must first create castings, harnesses, and a bunch of other equipment needed to fit the car at hand. This takes time and, of course, money. He said that no manufacturer wuold be willing to produce a turbo kit, unless the market was there. I informed him of this website and told him to check it out so he could see for himself, how many people are actually interested in a turbo kit. This is what he told me would be needed in order to get one into production:
A car (mazda MP3)
$5000.00 (for castings and such)
About 2-3 months for the first kit to be completed.
He said if 25 people would put a $200.00 deposit down, he would begin the production of a turbo kit. He did not say anything about psi or anything else, but the 200.00 that someone sends in would go toward their overall cost of the kit. He estimated that it would cost between $2700.00 and $3100.00 dollars for the completed kit. Anyone can reach him at Bellengineering.com
Let's do it!!!!!!!!
I have my $200.00 ready.
He would like to see 50 people willing to buy also.
