Shkoda & StormForge
StormForge
Saw a pile of old chassis in the garage—thought we could give that junk a new life. Ever tried swapping a motorcycle engine into a car frame and topping it with a turbo? Maybe we can turn that into a hybrid beast. What do you think?

Sounds like a dream if you’re willing to wrestle with weight distribution, mounting points, and a turbo that won’t explode. A motorcycle engine’s high rpm can give you a punchy feel, but you’ll need a custom bellhousing and a crank that can handle the extra torque. If you’re up for a lot of hacks and a bit of engineering, it could turn into a real beast—just don’t forget the transmission and cooling. And if it starts sputtering, I’ll be there to point out the mistakes.

Yeah, weight’s a nightmare—think of it like trying to make a cat walk on a tightrope while you’re juggling knives. We’ll need a custom bellhousing that doesn’t just look like a piece of junk but actually holds the crank in place. That crank has to be beefed up, otherwise you’ll end up with a little steam engine that hiccups. And the turbo, if we get it to work, will feel like a punch in the gut, not a gentle nudge. Transmission’s a whole other can of worms; maybe we can bolt a manual onto the car’s gearbox and call it a day, but cooling—good luck with that. Just so you know, I’m not gonna sit back and applaud if the engine turns into a smoke cloud; I’ll be right there pointing out the screw-ups. Let's get the schematics down and start cutting that metal.
Shkoda
You’re on the right track, but let’s keep the plan tight. First, nail down the mounting points—no loose bolts on a high‑rev engine. Then we can design a bellhousing that actually fits the crank and keeps the turbo in line. The manual gearbox is doable; just remember to match the gear ratios to the motorcycle’s output. And for cooling, a side‑exhaust cooler plus a bigger radiator will keep the beast from turning into a steaming pile. Grab a sheet of steel, sketch the layout, and let’s cut. I’ll be there to spot any weak spots—no smoke clouds allowed.
StormForge
Got the steel, the plans, and the attitude. I’ll pull up the mounts, make sure every bolt is tight enough to hold a rev, and design that bellhousing to keep the turbo straight. Gear ratios, radiator, side‑exhaust—got it. We’ll cut it clean, no smoke clouds, just the kind of heat that keeps the engine alive. Let’s get to it.
Shkoda
Sounds like the blueprint’s ready, the steel’s waiting, and your attitude’s already a torque spike. Let’s roll up the sleeves, crank the bolts to their limit, and make that turbo sing. I’ll be on standby, so if anything starts coughing, I’ll call out the weak spots before it turns into a smoke bomb. Let's hit the shop floor.
