I know there a few people out there with turbo 4's. Does anybody have any performance or reliability figures.

"Everyone knows you can't turbo a type IV"
I estimate you can get a 20 - 30 percent gain on output without killing too much. I have been told that the problem is you cannot get serious boost on without the heads falling off (since they are only held on by 4 studs per cylinder and they tend to pull. There are suprisingly few turbo type 4 engines around - it's not a delighfully easy thing to do - I tried it and gave up. I am doing a subaru motor conversion instead! l8r, Fiid. |
