Isn't it done by forced induction?

There used to be several kits to convert a normal Pinto to Turbo power

 

im not saying it is, but turbonetics (or turbo technics ) used to do a kit to turbo a pinto, very hard to get hold of now.....

 

TBH if ya want a turbo in ya mk1 i think it is best to get a cossie lump, i know a few people who have pinto turbos and them not responding very well at all.

 

loads of people on http://forums.turbosport.co.uk/bbs/index.php with home made turbo pintos

 

i have a pinto turbo...

it DOES respond well if you do it right....most people dont tho.

Ive done the whole lot for much less than the cost of buying a cossie lump.

 

I stand corrected lol

Sorry

 

its about 230 bhp at 9:1 c/r

goes well, no lag and as torquey as hell lol.

I need to play about with the map now, but i expect more out of it....the gearbox doesnt tho

 

pinto block is the same as a cossie, just bolt the cossie head on and sort your ancillaries etc wen u do it

 

not exatly true, the 205 pinto block is the same ( thats the block from the injection pinto ) but obviously all internals are different

 

I've got a turbo on my RS2000, 205 injection type, 9.1 cr standard EFi, running 7psi for now. It does pink under load at 5500rpm but that will be sorted soon.
Not sure of the power yet, rolling road in 2 weeks. But its enough to do a 5 speed type9 in and an English diff
