Hi,

I wanted to share with everyone my Echo Project. Normally you would consider an Echo as an economy car but this is far from the original car.

It is the only echo in the world to have a 4age 20v blacktop motor with a 6 speed transmission and LSD. It's also turbocharged.





Currently pushing 240whp at 5psi. Can be 300whp with the boost turned to 9psi.

Cheers

No.

The framerails had to be widened 4 inches. Custom Motor mounts had to be fabricated. The front end is reinforced with quarter inch plate steel.

It was an extensive job.
