Hi,

After a little more oomph from this:-



Yes, I know the engine mounts are on backwards!

I'm thinking about a turbo conversion - nothing mad - just low boost (7psi?) and I'm wondering if you guys can point me in the direction of a company that could do this for me.

Cheers.

 

No one?

 

ive heared of peeps chopin the end off a rst manifold hahvein it mated to the into the pinto an runin a t25 turbo an gettin around the 180 bhp mark hope this helps

I have the manifold sorted, the actual fitting of the turbo (and boost pies, already have charge cooler) isn't the problem, it's making sure it's set up correctly that's the problem.

Any idea about ECU (chipped EEC-IV atm) - will it cope?
Will I need bigger injectors (or 5th injector?).
Compression is at 9.1:1 atm - I don't want to do any machining, hence I only want low boost - is 9.1:1 still too high?
Where would the oil feed for the turbo come from?

If anyone can answer these questions I will be eternally grateful.

 

Have a look on turbosport. myself and ripper are doing turbo conversions. these to much to type out at the mo, but to start you need to get the compression down to at least 8.5:1 or lower. oil feed from the oil pressure switch hole T off it and the drain is to the 1/2" pulg at the bottom of the block on the exhaust side.
