Was up the local scrappy today with a mate, i was just having a wander about while my mate was sorting out what ever he was doing and stumbled across this, Don't know if its any use to anyone on here.
I can give you the number for the place if anyone wants it.

 

only one turbo?

 

4x4 sump and a distributor mated to the front cam cover wrong throttle body (for the 24v anyway).

Interesting any ideas how much the bloke wanted for it?

 

Sometimes one is enough mate

 

Not seen a single turbo conversion on a 24v before

Steve

 

I have seen a single turbo convertion on a 24v, it was alot bigger than that one lol

That turbo would do fuck all, you need a T4 size if a single.

there is a 24v 3door mk2 seirra with one, cheap eastern T4 copy and it goes very well.

I realy wonder what it came out of, due to the dizzy, me don't think it worked lol

 

I doubt the dizzy idea worked either good idea tho if you were going to carb the engine that is

 

I dunno mate, a budget conversion if you have a broken turbo technics sierra.

 

Yeh true TB would sure make it seam that way.

Still fighting the urge to carb a 24v just for the hell of it

 

I don't know if anyone has spotted it but there is a indentical v6 lump behind it, only NA

 

The 24v works very very well with a little boost, They just do not like reving, you can chuck 8 to 10 psi into them standard and they will hit 300 bhp and about 350 torque well worth a budget sierra.

 

I have seen a couple built with downdraught webbers on and one tripple twin throttle body setup and both conversions seem to go incredibly well, never seen any power figures though so don't know whether it would be worth the hard work.

 

That sort of torque would be ideal for a tow car really.

 

I was discussing doing one for a mk2 granada with a 4 barrel holly and either putting a dizzy in the engine or running a megajolt

 

Or another transit 24v (done 3 now)!!

 

.

Ideal mate, you have to have some power for your repair vehicle don't you.

The granada idea sounds good too but surely the way to go is megajolt when you compare it to the adjustability of a dizy.

 

a single turbo 24v transit would be fun.

DO IT

 

Totaly agree mate, I would love to build a transit camper van with a turbo v6 cosworth lump.

 

I know the 24v very very well, The best budget way is to get you self a cheap easten europe T4 copy make your self a fanny mould, sort a 7th injector.

if you keep the boost to 8 psi you will have no issues.

The most expsive thing will be the fanny mould

 

This is twin turbo,d

 

what would you use to run the extre injector?

 

I believe that most people on here will have seen this car at some point, I certainly have as my Dad had his car converted by top boss some time ago.
It does go well but not as well as the claimed power and torque figures suggest that it would.

 

Thats Fitz's car, I have known him for about 15 years, He still sorts out my clio lol

That car made over 500 bhp, but I would not like to drive it.

nothing nothing ooooooooooooooooo fuck type of thing but it was fast once it got going.

except of the turbo tec 24v, that car was or is the best 24v I have seen or shit my self in.

 

Dan the stardard ECU cannot sort out boost, after 3500 rpm you are running megga lean with boost. or mega squirt it.

you don't want to spend megga money on it.


you could go good ecu, twin turbo's, low comp cossie pistons, H rods. about 500 bhp

but you will still hit the wall with rev's

no point

just take as a cheap 300 bhp

 

I have known him roughly the same amount of time mate, I think I have met you down there before on an open day a few years back.

 

 

cossieking I may know the car you dad had ?

 

You more than likely do mate its a totaly mint white over grey GLSi 4x4 on multi spokes, he has still got it but with different wheels on it now.

I used to have a lot to do with fitz, went down to see him just after he wrote the sierra off and came out of hospital.
My name's Shaun by the way n my dad Geoff.

 

non turbo car?

 

Yeah it is mate, fitz had it there for 8 weeks.

 

Yes I think I know the car. You cannot do much with N/A 24v engines mate. BOB cam's help but due to not fuck all revs no point.

chuck some boost in, they come to life

 

if you want to go N/A, you can get the pistons and rods from cosworth and you will need some throttle bodys and a dry sump to hold the shit block together and you will make 280 to 300 bhp. which will cost you about 6k with ecu.

you can make that with about 2k if you boost it.

 

so is mine

 

Where are your pics at then Dojj.

 

it's raining or else i would have taken some

i've got some vids up on youtube though

i like that. especialy the vid with just the manifold on. sounds mean

 

have you sorted a proper ecu for it Dojj?

 

nope
not even got round to sorting the brakes out for it yet

i drove it up and down a bit to get used to it running and ran it up a bit to keep teh battery going, but then it split the return pipe on teh passenger side and it's a bastard to get to as it looks like the rack is in the way and i've sort of given up till the weather was going to get better

and now it isn't and i've got another cr in the garage so it's going to have to wait a bit longer

 

What you got that is taking up your time now then Dojj?
