what do you think? possible? turbos seem quite cheap to buy (ebay et al), would need a custion exhast manifold making - EBD? and a custon inlet manifold for after the tubo. could this mount to my throttle bodies?
just a thought.

There is already a turbo manifold for the K-series - and it's made by Powertrain! Yup - the 1.8T as found on the 160bhp Rover75 and ZT tax-break specials!   Unfortunately, the turbo option is really not available to you Kingsley with your engine specification: you'd need to down-grade to a single throttle body, and worse, fit completely different cams: they need to have much more overlap otherwise you don't get the increased compression inside the combustion chamber: all that extra air your turbo pushes in would simply flow out the exhaust ports! But for others, I think that this engine is an option: I *think* that the turbo on that manifold will fit into the MGF subframe... Might be worth further investigation by those with a a need for speed! ;D |
