the ZPI built turbo that FoxRacing used for their Versa has been discussed. Unfortunately they dropped off the face of the planet.

Someone else might have better information, but from what I understand, of the many people who gave them money, FoxRacing was the only client to actually receive one of these. So, I don't know how you would go about getting one.

You make it yourself. Turbo upgrades are fairly easy to install and make yourself. It will probably cost around $2000 for the basic parts to get the turbo and the car working together, other parts to keep it working would cost another $1000 or so. And alot of maintance, turbos eat though oil really fast.

why would it not be safe? because its uncharted territory. anytime you boost a car that wasnt designed for boost you are rolling the dice.

and a properly set up turbo will NOT eat oil any faster than a car normally does.

If he HAS to ask this question, he's not ready for a DIY kit, ergo it's not safe for him to do so.

If your not going to have a speed shop design and install it I wouldn't bother with putting a turbo on your car. It's not going to be worth it in the end. Just take your versa for what it is and enjoy it. If you still want a turbo that badly save up some money and trade it in for something that already has one like a evo, mini cooper s ect. ect.

Has anyone heard back from Brian at Fox Marketing at all regarding his turbo versa? He said he was parting out the car, "first come, first serve" and to email him with offers. I emailed him about the springs and he never replied.

I'm sure other people have emailed him regarding parts from the car... anyone else receive a response?

What comes to my mind is OVERHAULS!

I would Not put a Turbo kit on a Versa engine, unless you want to really shorten its life and Void your Drivetrain warranty!  

An engine really has to built for a turbo or you will be doing a lot of unscheduled maintenance.  I have seen what an add on turbo does to an aircraft engine, it mostly adds problems and Speeds up to the end of its life.

If the turbo is So Good why did it come off that Versa so quickly?

Sorry, Its just what is going thru my head!
