this is more than likely a very stupid, dumb question, but i dont know the answer so im gona ask it anyway :oops:
is a turbo for injection cars only, or can they be for carbs also?
SOMEONE, ANYONE
cheers Mattnova
Not really a daft question...
The majority and more trustworthy are on Injection's the R5GTT was a Carb'd Turbo type of setup and stupidly unreliable.

thought it was, thanks for the clarification Ben

so was the metro turbo,

there is nothing wrong with a carb fed turbo... the reasont the r5gtt was unreliable had absolutly nothing to do with the carb, it was because it was a badly designed all aluminium engine that was weak in all the wrong places!!! head, block, crank... i believe that it was never actually designed to be a turbo engine that caused it soo many problems....

What a load of bull. For a start turbos have been around before EFI was even thought of. Reliability depends totally on the quality of its design. Also, turbo cars have to be treated differently. Some people just whack up the boost and cane it everywhere, then they're surprised when it inevitably blows up.

renault 11 turbo its carb
isn't that exactly what i said above???
Um, not really!
all of the old skool shevvy's in america are carb fed, supercharged 5.6ltr engines. :D
and i want 1!! :twisted:

Chevrolet is spelt with a "C" not an S and if the car is pushing big power then in more than half the cases its more than likely a 427ci or more (7 ltr)

PS:the 350 is 5.7 litres not 5.6 :)
i was close! :lol: wots 100cc btween mates ehh?
neway, im rite so i spose thats all that matters! :lol: :lol: [/quote]

Oi prickface read my comment correctly, i havent disagreed with anything that you put there so dont be so arogant you jumped up little twat.
You said the majority are on injection. Turbo engines have been around since the 1940's and probably before. WW2 aeroplanes were turbocharged and supercharged. So bearing that in mind, how are the majority of turbos on injection ? - Even if that includes mechanical injection.
And as I said, carb or injection, reliability depends on the quality of the design.
As for being little, I bet I'm bigger than you!

rite well i thought that turbo was just for injection cars, the reason im asking is because im going fo an engine conversion. want a 1.6, but not sure wheather to get GTe or GSi engine.
cheers all

lmfao stop being a twat
Ben, behave, dont rise up to it.
mecha, stop trying to stir poo.
why ask about turbos and then post that you with to fir a GTE or GSI engine to your car? when they are essentially the same engine (unless you get a late GSI engine with dispak, no AMM etc)
injection allows a more accurate ammount of fuel to be put in the boosted air charge, which can mean more efficiency, power and controlability, but its a bit more cost unfriendly, whereas a carbed setup is relatively cheap (in the grand scheme of turbo costs)
As for being little, I bet I'm bigger than you!
I very much doubt that!

AHEM
I bet im bigger than you as well then!
(well except the gut :lol: )
this can be proved i have pictures of you both.....not in a gay way though :oops:

the reason i asked was because im thinking of fitting either a turbo or twin 40's. so if its possible to fit a turbo to a GTe then that would be the better engine to get as i dont have to decide straight away if i want the 40's or the turbo, i can look around and see which is cheaper/ better. thats y i wanted to know!
GTE's are injection so still dont understand why the post topic.
And Denny you fudgepacker destroy all photos off me.
LOL! Right that's enough 'poo stiring'! This post straying off the subject a bit.
Mattnova: You can fit a turbo to any engine, carb or injection. Turbos can get very expensive though. Twin 40's would be alot cheaper and alot less hassle to fit.

i know they are a lot cheaper but what about the power differences??
GTE's are injection
i thought GTe's where carb and GSi's where injection...anyone like to clarify???
they are injection as standard but people convert them to run on t40s some times
MattNova

oh rite, so whats the difference between a Gte and a Gsi (both standard)???
None unless you get very technical, but as far as anyone is concerned they are identical and all bits interchangble.
When new, very much doubt if an unmolested example would still be kicking 100BHP
You have no proof of that as you never had it RR'd and i dont think that it was still the original engine, so swivel!
:oops: ok well im sure its there about then
MattNova
10-11-04, 02:15 PM
so y did they make the different models if they are the same?????
MK1 and MK2
Diff Dash
Diff Interior
Diff Bumpers
Diff grill
Diff Lights
Diff spoiler
Diff Wings

Oh rite.....so which one would be better to take the engine from? or are they so much alike that it really doesn't matter. i take it that it would be better if i took whichever of them is the mk1 as i have a mk1 merit atm? save messing around...
it makes no difference which engine you take, as you will have to do the same mods to your exisiting wiring loom.
and ben technically the ECU changed from GTE-GSI :p
and lambda feedback too ;) but lets not get piccy lol
Camb you are wrong the change wasnt on the change of model just the H reg cars as there are GTE's with the later type ECU and loom!
ah what ever, there was still a change :p
Ha ha swivel fatboy!
And your meant to have a degree!
