Hi all, just need some info

ok soon i am going to be getting me another 2l 8v engine, this one i want to turbo charge, no i know courtneay sport do one for this engine ( i know not evey one likes this company but its an example),

but they do no supply all the parts to do the conversion, so i wanted to know what else i will need so that i can turbo the engine.

Cheers

go on migweb m8,thers a guy called matthiues who sell turbo kits 4 all vauxhall engines n for cheap aswell

And you can run the LET management etc... on them ok, you\'ll need the ecu, loom and all the sensors.

With LET pistons on in there on a 20NE you could run up to 300BHP and the bottom end shoudl hold together using phase chips, or go with a standalone management set up, but that would be abotu £1000 all in and running, but for th emoney offers much more than the LET stuff would. Or for £1000 just buy a complete LET.

i know people say go for the let but i just want to be a bit different,

where would i get this kinda stuff from, and wot i ment was would i need a turbo inlet manifold n things like that

yeah ya need a inlet manifold 4 the turbo,go on migweb n speak 2 mattuies,he does turbo kits 4 ya engine n every thing u need aswell

You\'l need a header for the turbo yeah.

If you want to be different it will certainly cost you a bit more, but will be worth doing, you can limit the cost buy limiting the engine\'s power.

If you reduce the engine\'s CR down to 9:1 using a head spacer plate then you\'ll be able to run 1 bar of boost easily enough. But you\'ll need mppable management for this, which add\'s £1000 straight off inclusing mapping, and you\'ll need to be pretty good with wiring to get it all puyt together.

I was close to doing this, but couldnt justify the cost of it all, with no where to race it, so I went with TB\'s instead. You can make 190 out of a 1.6 for around 3-4 put in the right places.

at the moment money is not that much of a problem because the car is off the road,

if you would be kind enough would you be able to list the things that i am going to need please, either put it on here or pm me about it

cheers

Dave
