Whos got a RHD turbo IS?

[appletree]

As above i was thinking of doing the 2.1 conversion but after a short convosation with ant he started something else going so i was just wondering if any of the zoners either have a turbo IS, know of any, or have any info on any?

hope some one can help.

Never actually seen one, but there was a breakers yard that had one (apparently) a little while ago.

I'd be interested to know what's involved with this conversion too. Is it cheaper to do than the 2.1 conversion?

well i've lookd at both options and sofar the turbo seams to be the slightly cheaper option and for the price it seams to give the better bhp/Ԛ£

obviously the both have the advantages and you could make the conversion as cheap or as expensive as you want depending on want you wanted to do.

2.1
cams Ԛ£300
megas quirt Ԛ£300+ setup or DIY
pistons Ԛ£500-Ԛ£550
M44/320d crank Ԛ£Ã”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£
Throttle boddies
block bored out

170-185 bhp???

turbo (still looking at prices)
Turbo
volvo intercooler
Solid exhaust valves
megasquirt

Around 200bhp?

i still havent decided between the 2.1 or turbo but the turbo is starting to look more likely + turbos got room for expantion in the future.

TURBO TURBO TURBO - You've got to do it

I Would like to go turbo is just the problem of sorting out a manifold with the engine being lent that far over and the steering rack.

from the very few pics i've found on the web it looks like the best idea is to put the battery in the boot and the coil pack in the battery tray and then move relocate the washer bottle someware.
