Check www.ststurbo.com they put it away from the engine. I would think it would have a big turbo lag. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Just gear it like a damn Dirtbike and no sweat!
But you still gota keep the combustion in the chambers fellas...... Thats not easy, even for me.. It can be done, especially if you keep a small bore, that has been my key for making it work.... All successful Turbos we have done thus far used a stock 1700 cylinder bored .5mm to accept a 90.5mm type I piston. Couple that with your flavor of stroke and rod ratio, cam and properly outfitted heads and you have something.... Otherwise it'll look like the fourth of July under your car when those head start flamin under boost!!!! My most favorite example of this was the customer of another builder that was complaining about oil leaks from his engine.... Thats because the combustion leaks were frying his pushrod tubes and baking the o rings in 50 miles... I tore it down, built it right, tossed the Turbo on Ebay and the guy has been happy every since and says it makes more power N/A my way than it did Turbo! (But his combo was totally fucked up anyway the first time around) |
