SFR 158WHP Turbo Smart!

Since there has been alot of talk about sub $2000 turbo kits recently,we decided that we wanted to go in the opposite direction and max out the performance of our existing turbo charger system for the Smart Car.We are very pleased to introduce our Stage 3 turbocharger system for the 451! Basically we upgraded the injectors, intercooler,
header, added some more boost via a boost controller and did a re-tune of the system which yeilded an impressive 158WHP! Ofcourse there are many new components included in the stage 3 system so unfortunately the price has gone up quite a bit.However,We can promise you that there is nothing on the market that come come close to the performance of this turbo system except for a very costly engine swap.And when compared to one of these difficult engine swaps,we feel as though our stage 3 turbo system is a great value!



Another upgrade we have incorporated into our twin-tip exhaust upgrade is the use of our Brabus style twin 3" tips!

Cause it was run in third gear.No gear change during the run.I also have a dyno chart with AFR plotted and some pics of the plugs after the tuning.

Compared to a Hyabusa swap that will put down about 20 more WHP, this is relatively cheap! LOL. But this upgrade is for the power hungry Smart owners. Most of them will be more then happy with stage 1 or stage 2.

More like it's nice to have that OPTION, if you don't have the $$$ don't buy it then Still getting into the average cost of a turbo kit for a typical car... more like 6-9k
