Xs Turbo

[joed66 4]

Well ive been thinking for a while what to do and its come to it that i want to turbo the tu3s engine. Ive herd there not that difficult to do. am i able to run my standard carb with the mixture adjusted? I can make the exhaust manifold myself i was thinking of using the KKK turbo off a 306 td as dont need a lot of boost also wondering about decompresion plates. Any info would be great

Sorry to say this but everything you've said sounds like a bodge

 

For a start if you want to turbo an xs you'll need proper management and a full conversion to injection.

 

An idea I had was to use a 306 1.6 head to lower the compression and thats also an injection head.

 

Loads of room for a turbo, I've seen the standard manifold with an adapter straight to the turbo, with an oil return to the sump.

 

Rising rate fuel regulators are just a guess how much fuel you need so your engine won't be running how it should.

thanks i wanted to try and keep it carb to be honest im not fussed about massive power 110-130 i would be happy with

It will be more work trying to sort the carb out to fuel correctly than to fit injection.

110-130 bhp, sounds like you want a 1.6 or 1.9 gti engine

Wha... If you want boost you want to be looking 180+

 

I know a lad with a 220hp vtr (engine) he'll sell for the right price.

not on a very small cc, very s*itty MA box which will kill itself with anything more than standard power!

messaged you! Ma gearboxes are fine you just need a LSD!

They are not fine if you add a dollop of unsophisticated turbo torque, or a nicely tuned TU5 and decent tyres!

my french rallye's both run over 110bhp on standard boxes no issues. my latest build will be twice the power on a ma box so i went LSD, constella in shepshed leicestershire sorted mine from Quaife

yes, 6 dnf's in 2 years with a saxo vts with group N engine, so nothing special, variouis quaife and pts parts and failures.

 

BE box and 170 bhp/140 lbft, no transmission related DNF's.

there was an xs turbo on ebay for ages think it used a fuel set up from a Renault gt5 turbo

i think i remember reading somewhere, that it kept suffering head gasket failure or piston failure.

Yeah, 2 head gaskets = twice the chance of failing! Parp!
