GLT performance mods??? 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Scott Beck on  Sat Mar 17 12:04 CST 2001 [RELATED]

What can I do to my 1995 854 GLT to increase horsepower? I found some kits that take it up to 180, but I wondered how far I could possibly get it, or if it would be cheaper to swap an engine from a T5?

Go to easternaerospace.com, they heve all kinds of modifications. I don't know if they really work. Good luck.

The most cost effective thing to do is sell it and buy a

turbo model. Note the GLTs have a turbo engine

starting in 97 and those are pretty quick, too.

Swapping the engine would be pretty expensive by the time

you add the intercooler, ECUs, plumbing and all those

check valves they hang all over the place (I have a 95 GLT

and 98 T5 and opening the two hoods shows more differences

then you might expect).
