Personally Edd i wouldn't consider it without proper management. You wouldn't get reliability or results without imo.
Craig had a reliable 165bhp from his Courtenay converted 1600 8v using standard management with mircoswitch running 8psiOriginally Posted by Connor
I'm just saying if it was me. For the price you can get management nowadays.
i know where your coming from, after buying our house i just dont have the spare cash to blow on the nova
i would just like the turbo stuff on really, want it done as cheaply and reliable as possible
Just my opinion but with cash being a little tight I would hold off on the conversion.
Get it up and running and finish any jobs that need doing. Then get it on the road and enjoy it. Get to some shows too. Once you have had some fun in it then get some money saved, get a spare engine to tinker with then when you are ready do the conversion take off the road again.
Having a fun car to drive is not all about big power figures. Some of the most fun cars have little revvy engines that you can thrash about in.
Usually with more power comes more reliability issues
^What he said. If it was a cheap homebrew bit of fun it would be different, but the car its going on is special so i'd say save up and do it properly eventually
A cheap turbo build will end in expensive tears....
I like that quote stuart, might have to start using it
Cheap, power, reliability. Sums every engine build up.
