Sorry for the lack of updates on this, but I have been a busy boy the last few weeks

We've planned a full cost breakdown for these, with a few options thrown in for management etc

this will all be added to the shop product lines over the next few weeks,

hey ant, are you still onto this sort of thing? i have a friend back in NZ who might be keen, I am in the UK..would providing a bolt together kit be possible?

also, what manifold do you use?

i recently became convinced of turbos myself...

Hi Ant
I've already aquired the following items neccessary for a conversion

Garrett T04E

Model: T04E "P" Trim
Compresser: AR .50
Exhaust: AR .84
76 trim T350 turbine wheel (stage 5)
T04E housing 2.5" inlet 2.5" outlet
56 trim GT40 compressor wheel 2.41/3.22 (61mm inducer) and flow 65lb/min
Divided Turbo Flange

324 TDS exhaust manifold
Intercooler(big,poss Volvo)might be the same as the one fitted to your car
Looks like i'll take up the whole area infront of the Rad

I've also got some throttle bodies to fit as well(need an aluminium inlet manifold fabricated/bodies spaced/fingers extended. etc)

Got a few questions

Can you supply all the other assorted components.
As it is cheaper for me to use the bike injectors that come with the throttle bodies and a spare set of M20 injectors rather than fork out for a set of hi flow ones.
Can Megasquirt control 12 injectors(batch fired) on the 6 pot.


Please excuse my ignorance.

since this is a fairly mature thread, i was wondering if there is any such thing as a kit of sorts, or is the turbo route still very much a custom conversion?

I am potentially interested in some *serious* boost. Need to get rough prices to mobilise cash / prioritise other work. But I'm thinking more than double standard BHP. For road use. I shot him a pm a few months back and an email more recently but have been busy moving house. He know's the score but please do give him a pinch :wink:
