Geo Metro's have a 3 cylinder engine... If you can get 450hp out of that you get MAD props.

By the way, she bought it. Got the dealer to replace 2 wheel bearings too. Damn thing is quicker than my RX7. guess that's what it gets for being 500lbs lighter

so, let me get this straight, the lsI is different than the ls1 by being inline, and having a dual carb, FI setup, and cranks out 450? BHP, 4door wrote 45bhp but it has to be a typo.......


is iirc like arca or iroc or something?
A fuel injected carb has computer controled fuel injectors that deliver the fuel over a carberator style throttle body setup.

the lsi is a 3cylinder motor that is in no relation to the ls1 what so ever. you can not get 450hp out of the lsi motor. i honestly think the car has about 75bhp.

the motor in the metro is in no relation to the motor in fbodys/vettes.

What are you running, a 12a with no apex seals on one rotor and a potato up your tailpipe? For Pete's sake, It's a Geo!

what, TBI's, lsi's, ls1's, i'm getting a headache, cant it pull the tires like a stock lidded catbacked lt1 or not.......

the inline version must be better, even if it is a 3 cylinder v-8........

You almost had me. When you said lt1 pulling tires is when I knew you were joking.
