TURBO PETROL 80's
Posted: Fri Sep 16, 2005 7:45 pm
Im more than likley going to turbo the old girl for more power in general. '96 mod 80's, 145,000km petrol 5spd.
Have been told that a Garret T04 ballbearing turbo and intercooler is a good combo and with a variable boost controller can run 7-8 psi round town and crank it up to 13 when its time to hall arse. (similar kit to what APS used to sell)
Generally it seems ok to have this or similar set up bolt straight on without internal mods as the bottem end appears rather tough.
I realise having it rebuild is the ultimate way but many seem to be doing it the easy way with no dramas at all........ what do you guys know of this subject please ?
