I was flipping through an old Excellence from 1990 and came across this ad. Hard to believe that they sold zero kits. Anyone out there seen one?
The 'cheap' kit was $1495 in 1990, which when accounting for inflation would be $2500 today (according to The Internet®). Wonder what turbo it is.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Attached image(s)

It's an old and long standing joke...
The issue you will have is limited support for the setup, there might be less than 100 in the world that have done this. And, the head to cylinder sealing is gonna leak, so you will need to keep the boost down and design a method to seal the head better when things get bad. The 911 turbo, and others, have used basically a guitar string machined into the head and cylinder to assist in sealing them. It's not a low cost road to go down, but there are many member here that have turbo setups that work. |
