Re: Turbo Project about to begin but decision needed
That is nice but would be insanely expensive for such a limited market. To keep cost reasonable, best location will be either passenger side rear corner of engine or drivers side front corner and move the electronic modules on the fenderwell. Also needs to come off the stock manifolds.
Turbo could go in either location. One issue will be the plastic throttle body, it will need a little rework to hold boost pressure.
If I was going to do a system on mine, I would likely build myself a common plenum sheet metal intake and beef up the stock throttle body. I would install four supplemental injectors, two per side leaving stock injectors in place. With the supplemental fuel injection computer I use, tuning would be a snap. I can control the upstream O2 sensor for part throttle boost fuel correction, control the stock map and maf sensors to prevent overange, and use the four additional injectors to control open loop fuel addition.
Another alternative was to weld in six more injector bungs, one per runner, and kick them in when in open loop.
