I did a search for "turbo" and was surprised that I didn't find any threads on adding a turbo to a stock 1.7, 1.8, or 2.0. Is this not a possibility or just not a good idea because of reliability and longevity issues? What would be better for 160-180hp, turbo a 1.8 or swap in a 6? What would be cheaper?

no instructions besides buy a few books......Turbochargers by corky bell and Turbomania by bob tomlinson are 2 of the 3 books I have.
turbos come in many different sizes, you have to match the turbo for your engine and or intended use...small turbos spool up faster....better for a "street" car...big turbos take more time to spool up, but they can flow more, better for high or top end applications... all I am doing is reading and seeing what other people are doing.....i'll be happy with 150 to 160HP...that'll get me by until my VR6 goes into the 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
