daniel_g Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Im in the middle of doing this with my 4paw, decided to turbo that N/a engine. Parts list i'm using from a GT. LoomsECUClocksMAP sensorDizzy setupOil filter housing and boltPAS pump and hoseCoil and ignitorThermostat housingInlet manifoldThrottle bodyTPSIgnition leadsInjectorsModded sump, or a turbo and oil pick-up sump for yoursTurbo kitIntercooler I believe the FPR, pump and rail are the same. Think thats about it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 fpr's are different Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Think 85 one is the same as a GT, it does look different to the one on my Carat which would most likely have the same one as a UK 91. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Buy a GT engine with all the bits, + map sensor, dizzy, ignitor, coil, gt ecu, and engine loom. Splice engine loom into the n/a. They are very similar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cherrye10 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 mine runs a 1n(which is no faster than a bicycle pushed by lance armstrong without snorting coke!) i intended to swap a 5efe. I don't want turbo, I'm not after aweseome power, just some fun on the road. Was looking at 140-150ish from a 5efe Mistakingly, i bought a 5afe instead(they look almost identical, other than identical cc and bhp) and 5efe's are somewhat hard to find. on the other hand the 4 is quite common. What do you think of -rebore block-polish, port and skimming cylinder head-1.4vvti inlet manifold4-2-1 exhaust manifold-wide exhaust Quote Link to post Share on other sites
