The Chevrolet Optra petrol (sold as the Suzuki Forenza in the USA) is not known for its performance. However some one has turbocharged his Optra and the result is absolutely maniac. The power is a mind blowing 250bhp + and the car can keep up with BMWs with ease.
So what all has gone in this beast? Well for starters, it uses the stock 2.0L engine, turbocharged with a T3/T4 Hybrid with Garrett wheel running on 7 PSI of boost. The injectors have been upgraded to 32 lb (~340 cc) with a custom stainless tubular manifold and a 3 inch pipe from turbo to resonator. The intercooler has been mounted on the front and it uses a BOV and wastegate from turbosmart. The exhaust system is a 2.25 inch stainless custom Magnaflow Catback. It also uses a 360 Dynamics U/D lightened crank pulley and tunning is done with Greddy Emanage Blue.

i was trying to get a body kit for my car also fas do you know anyone
May 13, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Steve, what kind of a bodykit are you looking at? Why don’t you custom design one yourself. GM also stocks body kits for the Optra.
June 18, 2009 at 5:39 am
GM really stocks body kits? those are some wicked mods dude, by the way!!
June 18, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Chance, some dealers stock body kits. Not all though. You can get them at cardomain.com too.
July 4, 2009 at 11:07 pm
fas, the exhaust manifold, can it be found on cardomain.com or was that custom designed? thanks
July 5, 2009 at 12:41 am
Chance, the exhaust manifold is sourced I think. I am not sure though. You can try to source it from a performance dealer? What are you planning to do? Turbocharging a Optra?
July 18, 2009 at 9:07 pm
well i would like to, but aftermarket parts for this thing are almost unheard of, i would also like to do something with the air intake
July 18, 2009 at 11:54 pm
Chance, you will have to custom make the air intake. About parts, the Optra is being replaced by the Cruze so parts will be difficult to source.
