Has anyone here ever put a turbo on a 2F? What did carby set up did you use and how much did it cost? I'm thinking of running a T28 Turbo.
Thanks

hah... sorry im thinking this would be a shocking mod.
petrol munchers as it is.
why not save the money on the turbo and get a V8 or something to put in it?
just my 2c

reckon it would be something different - good discussion point whilst watching a patrol trying to get up the hill you just did

Have a go at the search button. Its been talked about before. Basicly the 2F is a nice torquie motor and the turbo will screw the torque up.
SEARCH IS YOUR FRIEND.

Totaly agree with the above I have 500Nm of Torque and 70Kw at the wheels on my 2F. Plenty to drive 35ins tyres.

Could have had more if I had gone stright Gas but prefer both options of petrol and gas.

i'd love to see your motor with a small low boost turbo bolted on, one that starts to spool up around 800rpm

I would think about fuel injection, but turbo mmmm would have to see some results first. My preferance would be a super charger smoother and broader power without having to spin the turbo up. All Depends on what it would do to the Torque.

i know of a 1hz that has a turbo that spins up pretty much off idle... the days of super laggy turbo motors are generally behind us

how about fuel injection and turbo?
