Turbo performance and technology has evolved over time making the problems of unreliable, poor drivability and turbo lag a thing of the past. Properly changing your car with good parts selection and engine system would lead to a high performance street car or track car. It is not always recommended that just about anyone or everyone changes his or her car. There are some cars that are not meant to be converted into a turbo car and would perform better as a non-turbo car. Some cars that do not make good conversion projects are non-turbo cars but have a turbo version readily available from their manufacturer. Prime examples are Nissan 300ZX, Mitsubishi 3000 GT and the Eclipse. These cars are better off staying non-turbo and if you want these converted to a turbo version, its much simpler to purchase the readily available turbo version rather than trying to convert a non-turbo model into a turbo model.

With that aside, there are a lot of things to remember and to work on when converting a non-turbo car to a turbo car. Let us take this part-by-part. First off of course is the engine. The engine would take a lot of heat and pressure once turbocharged, so it is best to make sure to adjust the compression level that is manageable by the engine otherwise engine wear will increase significantly. Depending on where the car would be used you should determine if you need to replace something in your block. If it were for standard road use the boost would be just fine. However, if it is for track use then that would be different and you would want to install a steel shim gasket. When it comes to fuel management, it is important that the car is fuel injected already before turbo charging it. Then, forged pistons are ideal for a turbocharged car, which could be very expensive. The alternative to this is to use a factory turbo charged equivalent piston if there is an available one.

A turbo charged car is certainly a good project to undertake and it would surely deliver. The turbo performance of a turbo performance car is greater than a non-turbo charged car but there are some things to consider first before undertaking such a task. First if your car is a good conversion project, then the cost of turbo charging is very high. Parts and labour do not come cheap especially in this kind of project. Then there is the problem of having all the parts readily available or affordable to properly convert the car; remember that not all engines and cars have the same conversion process. Depending on the type of car you may need to have certain parts custom made.

Volvo, Saab Convertibles Scored “good” Safety Scores

The Swedes are known for their safe car which was proven recently by Saab and Volvo. Both Swedish car manufacturers’ convertible has received the Top Safety Pick distinction from the United States Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). For Saab, the convertible which received the award is the Saab 9-3 and for the other Swedish brand, it was the Volvo C70.

Both convertibles have attained “good” scores in the crash tests conducted by the non-profit organization funded by auto insurance companies. Tests conducted on both the 9-3 and the C70 as well as other convertibles includes front, side, and rear crash tests. Aside from scoring “good” on the three crash tests, both the Volvo C70 and the Saab 9-3 are equipped with a standard Electronic Stability Control which the institute has proven to help protect car owners keep away from accidents.

In contrast to the Saab 9-3 and the Volvo C70, the Pontiac G6 received the poorest safety scores from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The General Motors-made convertible G6 received “acceptable” rating for frontal crash protection. But for side and rear crash protection, the institute only received “marginal” ratings. The Audi A4 and the BMW 3 Series recorded similar crash test ratings. For frontal collision, both the A4 and the 3 Series posted “good” scores. For side collision protection, the two European cabriolets were given “marginal” ratings. For rear crash protection, the A4 and the 3 Series received “poor” ratings.

To receive the Top Safety Pick award, convertibles, or automobiles in general, needs to attain “good” ratings in all three crash tests. They should also be equipped with an Electronic Stability Control which comes in different names varying from one car manufacturer to another. The presence of this system reduces the risk of traffic accidents as it aids the driver in controlling a vehicle especially during instances when the driver is about to lose control of the vehicle.

An added requirement for open top vehicles to receive the Top Safety Pick award is the presence of roll bars which can adequately protect its occupants in an unfortunate event of rollover. Both the 9-3 and the C70 are equipped with such safety features. A pop-up roll bar is deployed if the convertibles’ sensors detect a crash that may result to the vehicle rolling over. The Volvo timing chain-equipped C70 and the 9-3 also boasts of other safety features like airbags and head restraints.

IIHS President Adrian Lund is apparently awed by the performance of the two Swedish convertibles. “The performances of the 9-3 and C70 are impressive,” Lund said. “These cars combine what convertible buyers should look for if they're shopping with safety in mind. The Saab and Volvo not only provide good protection in high-speed front and side crashes but also have good seat and head restraint designs for protecting against whiplash in rear crashes.”

“We wanted to test convertibles because sales are increasing. We also wanted to... see if crashworthiness improvements in mainstream cars are being built into convertibles. For the most part, we found that this is happening,” says Lund in conclusion.

Aside from the Saab 9-3, Volvo C70, Audi A4, BMW 3 Series and the Pontiac G6, other convertibles tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety includes the Chrysler Sebring, Ford Mustang, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Toyota Camry Solara and the Volkswagen Eos.
