Hey hows it going peeps..

As yous probably know ive got the 85 charade turbo G11R and recently just brought a mint 1984 Suzuki Hatch 800cc and basically just wanted to know what sort of mods can be done to them and what others have done to them.

I pick the car up on Monday and i was bascially going to get an exhaust put on it and wanted to know what size is best suited and i also was looking at going turbo and just wanted to know how i would go about it...

1¾" exhaust is the most suitable exhaust size, but if you're not going to fit extractors then you won't get a noticeable performance increase. Then again if you're planning on a turbo setup then the extractors won't matter. ;)

As for the turbo setup, have a read of this:

Sweet ride daz3d.................love your hatch.....

One question tho........is the hatch door standard like the one on your car in australia? Because here in india, only the hatch glass opens to access the boot............. :wink:

Edmund, we don't have 4 door versions in Australia, and all ours have hatches like the pic above. ;)

For your extractors, I think its best to use 1¼" steam pipe mandrels to make them up from, then from the collector onwards use 1¾" mild steel pipe.
