hi am intrested in turboing a 2.0 efi pinto engine iv just brought a e reg sierra ghia and im after 230+ bhp from it can some of you put a rough spec on what i would need iw (what would u buy for it not massive money say budget build)
im thinking on spending about just over a grand on the engine turbo and stuff any help whould be great the engine is a 205 block aswell cheers

 

bump anyone

 

i've done it mate ,you need a manifold and t3 turbo 4x4 will be good ,management ,
,i did it to a 16 pinto and run it at 12 psi on standard piston's

 

yh been looking into it for a while and im going to try this spec
cossie pistons ,rods and rings
upgraded big and small ends
uprated headgasket
turbo manifold (finding one or making one )
garrett t3 turbo
cossie intercooler
management ???? any recommendations
uprated injectors ??? any recommendations
lightend flywheel
quick shift gear lever
all appropriate hoses
upgraded oil pump and fuel pump
oil spray bar and if i missed anything please correct me or if anyone has done this what did you use seen a few on here and over on turbosport and a few other websites just good to get as much info as pos cheers

 

management how much you got to spend mate ,i was on mega squirt now on emerald k3 ,injectors i was using rover red band's

heres a pic

 

Surely it has to cheaper to sell what you have and buy a 2wd Sierra Cosworth that needs a bit of work and do it over some time? Would get alot more power from it... would be worth more when complete and get the looks as a cosworth should

 

Personally I'd find a complete 2WD Cosworth engine and drop that in - Easy and effective!

 

Yh iv been looking for a while and iv never seen a cossie for under 4k and to save that without dipping into it will be hard this will be a bit buy project and will take me a while to build seen a few pinto turbos with same sort of power as cossies made much more cheaper I know its easyer to just buy a cossie but even tge engine and box on there own cost 2k+ then all the other bits with the pinto it will be different to most other cars and imo cheaper to build not looking for big power maybe 250hp I was going to 24v it but there going up in prise now everyone said pinto turbo it

 

Zetec it?

 

What sort of money will I be looking at spending on management at the moment im not that far in im going to try and mot the sierra with the pinto in then collect some parts from there

 

£500-£600 i recon mate for management

 

Just out of curiosity what whould be needed to make a budget pinto turbo theres a website think its skogenracing. Com theres loads of cheap pinto turbos on there making fairly decent power for very little money
