Turbo Conversion

[john wan]

hi does anyone know if you can take the oil feed and return to run the turbo off a sandwich plate that u can buy for doing gages like in the link below instead of piping off something else or drilling the block? chears

In theory you could.

It's a long run from that to the turbo though

On the fe it's better to tap off the vvti feed and tap the sump for the return

[john wan]

Just looking for alternatives the thought of drilling the block makes my pooper twitchjust thought of this way as the oil comes out an goes through a cooler should work the same with a turbo no?

[sparkystav]

Why do you need to drill the block?

[ormi]

yip as above you dont drill the block,you take the feed from the vvti feed

[john wan]

Yeah as stav said to me before an like I knew you can tap off somewhwere like the vvt but its gotta return somewhere so if u don't drill the block how does theoil get back into the engine

[ormi]

you tap the sump for a return

[sparkystav]

As I said in the first post, the return is only a drain so you can tap the sump,

[john wan]

Cool is there any pickys of that was only thinkin of that sandwich plate so I could just bolt that up an away yuh go an if I wanna take off bobs yuh shnitzel take it off no holes to bung up

[sparkystav]

Not really mate, but couldnt you get a spare sump?

[john wan]

Hmmmm yeah suppose don't the oil track back up the line if u come off the sump then

the most logical way of turbo charging is200 is to buy mk3 supra 2.0ltr 1g gte in it. you have all the extras and wiring loom that you need.

its also going to be less damage in your pocket.

once yoy have done this buy blitz turbos and manifold from japan which aint that expensive (600).

put all this together with high flow filter and stainless steel exhuast and your looking at 400-500bhp is200 and have changed out 2500.

plus you can sell supra parts for extra cash.

o and this engine is twin turbo as well.

PS that engine is also delivered in the LEXUS/TOYOTA SOARER to make a long story short get a cheap project car so you have al the parts and do an ENGINE SWAP.

I'd like to see you get 400-500 bhp from the 1g without a standalone ecu and single turbo. And then for £2500, possibly not.

Does anyone know anything about this turbo kit? Would it require other modifications or would it be a straight "bolt on" ang go kit?

Shoot them a mail and ask them? It's a nice looking kit, and if it delivers the 56% power increase (~85bhp, taking it up to 230-240bhp) that'd be nice. I'd leave the dumpvalve off tho...

[1G-FE_SC12]

its the same kit i'm looking at... why leave the DV off matt? you would need it for overboost.

[matt-c]

At the kind of boost pressures I would be running if I was to turbo my IS, roughly half a bar, it's entirely un unnecessary. And, imo, they sound chavvish.
