top man, forgot about that project, did do a search but the info is a bit varied and spaced out, as much info as possible please fella's ;)
Oil feed can be taken direct off the pump (despiste many saying drill & tap the block - there really is no need for this)
Oil return goes straight to sump.
I used Ford parts for all of mine, straight off the shelf gear, pish easy to get.

lol your a dumb-****!
how can you build a turbo engine when you dont even think your engine has a oil pump!!!
go and learn what a turbo is first, and i bet your not going to insure your car as a turbo!!!

Thought they worked on a vacume system like out boards, only 4 stroke i have worked on is a 225 honda engine which dont have oil pumps other than that its 2 strokes for me, found the oil pump last night any how, the question was not a stupid one as this is a topic that has been coming up for a while but i couldnt find the answears then some obnoxious nob comes along who cant be trusted to sell on here and tells me im a dumb **** which helps no one any way, if youve nothing usefull to say, do one

LOL
Yes they do have an oil pump, as the engine sits in the bay, the oil pump & drive gear for it is situated L/H side below cambelt cover towards sump of engine.

on about the 20get motors, the turbo and all the other bits transfer onto the 8v as its the same motor

Yea i know what your on about, an i know full well all the parts fit, BUT factory GM it aint. Pontiac yes, GM as we know it, no.
it is gm as its based on a mk2 cavalier, the pontic with the get that is. the site you need is www.vaux-extreme.com

thought they were gm, fitting a turbo to a motor isnt hard, and with these manifolds thre's no reason why any body else cant do one, im guessing with a turbo on a 2.0 sri130 8v with twin 40's should reach upto 170bhp??

ahh i see, sorry generally speaking car engines arnt my thing, only ever worked with bike engines, what carbs etc would you recomend?
General Baxter
22-09-09, 11:20 AM
id just go to injection lol
many bike carbs take boost with great ease then?

r1 carbs are good and fairly easy to work with, but setting them up on a car i wouldnt know were to start

any N/A CARB WILL NOT work
Yea i know what your on about, an i know full well all the parts fit, BUT factory GM it aint. Pontiac yes, GM as we know it, no.
Hmm, mike. GM = Pontiac (RIP) of course... thats like saying the Saab B308i isn't a GM engine lol
normal twin 40's wont work
Nope they wont, a Turbo gasket/seal kit is avilable to convert DHLA 40's so that they will take Boost pressure.
http://www.dellorto.co.uk/merchandise/products_details.asp?PartNo=DHLAturbokit&CategoryID=1&PartsectionID=1
Alternativly, get hold of some DHLA-M's (?) Which are Dellorto Turbo carbs as found on the Lotus Esprit Turbo 1 .
http://www.dellorto.co.uk/merchandise/large_image.asp?PartID=6514
As they are 45's They will also be better suited to your 2.0 8v, Allthough Dellorto Make DHLA-L's which are alfa Turbo carbs which are 40's .
All DHLA Variants should work fine.

thanks for the info, as i have the 40's lined up with the appropriate ignition etc for my engine i will go with these and uprate, assuming that they will still be a improvement from the standard set up?
Erm, you have to machine the bodies to accept certain parts of the Upgrade kit, it doesn't look like a Haynes 1 Spanner job !
Then you have the problem of using a stand alone Ignition managment and having the carbs setup to work with it.
It's not straight-forwards. Probably best sticking to Injection.
any N/A CARB WILL NOT workyou fail!! i know two ways of turbo'ing with n/a carbs that will work !!!
i know one. feed boost into the carb chambers. iirc..........
dude, if your serious pm me. and an seh is more work to turbo than a c20ne.
If hes already got the SEH then sticking with that is a good idea lol
What amazes me about this thread, hes trying to turbo a twin 40'ed engine and has no idea wtf hes doing?!

This thread is fun :d
Ich bin subscribed.
Yeh an NE is easier to turbo but seeing as he has the SEH may aswell use it. And it'll be a learning curve too ;)

yeah completly inclose the carb in boost lol
