I am getting ready to turbo my 1.8L engine. And I already know that you can't turbo a 914. But, what i would like to know is what are good cars to get turbo's off of?
I am looking for a small turbo that will spool quickly. Looking to run about 7 to 10 pounds of boost. What turbo'd cars will give me a good turbo to use? I have been looking for ones on ebay, but don't really want to buy one there. I don't mind buying a used one, so going to the junkyard and getting one is definitely an option. Which turbo? |

You planning on running carbs and a turbo? side draft carb and turbo?
I sold a Garret Turbo off of a Chrysler 2.2 (from a daytona...) to someone about 9 years ago to use in a 914, IIRC they had pretty good results with it. There are several tricks to get a turbo to spool up quickly, too. Not sure how good of ideas some of them are... The one that comes to mind is having a granger one-way valve with the adjustable pressure spring inside. Put it inline between the pressure source and the wastegate after setting it to the pressure you want your turbo to be spooled at. |
