Is this for a 1.3? Why not go a 1.6 and go from there?

[Fatzook]

Aldi sell some good turbos.

[Gwagensteve]

Electric supercharging is even better. Leaf blowers are excellent too.

Steve.

In all honesty, turbocharging a g13 is very costly and normally results in broken motors. The turbo is the cheap bit. If you need to ask how much a turbo is, you're not ready to start going down this path. If you can't fabricate, wire, and are good with cars, figure on about $6k.

[abclarke]

Fuck for 6k I'd rather something other than a 1.3

[Daves4wd]

I've got a mate selling a turbo kit for 1200 it's for a gti 1.3 is be guessing it's the same but you need a injection set up got kit had his front wheels in the air hahaha on of you want more info

[Gwagensteve]

So lets use that as an example. (and no offence Dave - it might be a great kit, but you've provided no information so I'll speculate for the sake of my argument)

$1200 for the kit.
$800 for a GTI motor?
Fuel system?
Wiring loom?
Engine Management?
Clutch?
Dyno Tuning?

Depending on what's included in the $1200 "kit", and assuming that the turbo itself is in good nick, there's still, what, at least $4K between now a running GTi engined turbo sierra?

What if the GTi motor needs a rebuild?
What if the turbo needs a rebuild?
What if it turns out to need a smaller turbo which requires new piping flanges, dump pipe etc (and this is common- over-turboing is everywhere in "conversions")

Really, it's all a terribly expensive and complex business when it's likely a G16B has plenty of power and torque to fix whatever problem you were trying to fix with the turbo in the first place, unless you really just wanted hektik choof and spool noises.

This is my new why you dont need a turbo answer



This drives over stuff you likely never will, but has less power than my Vitara

[SierraDan]

and The hazzard zook has a 4k carby motor. i've only ever wanted a 1.6 EFI for highway use.

[atari4x4]

but it doesn't make mad flutter or dose (what ever that means)

What motor is in it?

From what i've figured. its when you dont have a blow off valve. so the air goes back through the turbo and flutters as it hits the turbine again.

so basically its the sound of your turbo gradually failing haha.

Haha stupid rice burners/wog boxs. Probably a mechanic or turbo salesman started that trend as an easy way to make cash

The little honda engine on the water blaster was lined up if we needed a replacement engine whilst down there

Got one in the jimny?

[monley]

Nup, don't have a i-fail

[atari4x4]

i'm downloading the GReddy one now, will report back on the performance gains when i knock off work.



should be hektik

[atari4x4]

OMFG i had uncontrolable wheelspin in every gear.

[SierraDan]

did it dose bro?

[atari4x4]

i think it dosed, but zero pigeon flutter.

Tis called turbo surge, where the compressor looses then grabs the air again. Not good at all.

[atari4x4]

Mad flutter pulls da bitches

[Dr_Snapid]

Either you guys have got turbos and blow off valves all wrong or I dont get your lingo LOL

[atari4x4]

i don't know what i'm talking about... i watched fast & the furious once & visit the odd ricer forum for lol's
