i need what
Turbo Mini Forums

what do i need to convert a naturally aspirated engine to a turbod engine, i need to know everything i need

i will be using the car as an everyday car.
so it needs to be reasonble reliable and good on fuel,
because i get payed peanuts,

(not to botherd about fuel consumption when the boost is wound up)

i would like it to be quick at the twist of a boost regulator,
the kinda spin the wheels in fourth even if im sitting around 70mph quick and pull away from quick cars

build price is on a budget but i will pay what i need to pay

thanks alot
jack

if i have confused anybody with my dodgey writen style please ask

What he said^^

There is an insane amount of excellent info on this forum. Your asking very basic questions which have been covered several times by the resident experts. I'm sure you can understand that they dont want to spell out every aspect of forced induction every time a new member comes along

In the 13's at last!.. Just

ok i have been looking all night at what it says i need
if i had a decent computer it properly would have taken me about 1 hour but anyway
i have found i need these parts
fuel pump (i got a metro turbo 1)
fuel pressure regulator (might need 1)
oil feed for turbo( that needs sortin)
modded tank or mpi(got a modded 1)
exhaust (didnt list bore???)
fuel feeds and returns(8mm feed)
turbo disturbutor (is it different for 1098t)
plenum (need 1)
intercooler(if running boost)
manifolds(needs exhaust, stage 1 inlet will that be any good???)
turbo spec carb (+needle and spring)

if i need anything else please tell me

Jack Jones

turbo engines run boost :(

fuel pump (i got a metro turbo 1) excellent

fuel pressure regulator (might need 1) Ye WILL need one

oil feed for turbo( that needs sortin) sorted

modded tank or mpi(got a modded 1) good

exhaust (didnt list bore???) 2" is the sise of the maniflow downpipe

fuel feeds and returns(8mm feed) 8mm retun too

turbo disturbutor (is it different for 1098t) No such thing as a 1098t dizzy. Metro turbo one might be ok, mapped ignition is better.

plenum (need 1) yep

intercooler(if running boost) you will be running boost, but no need for an IC if only running 4 or 5psi

manifolds(needs exhaust, stage 1 inlet will that be any good???) If you use the metro exhaust manifold, the only inlet that easily fits is the metro turbo one.

turbo spec carb (+needle and spring) yep.

if i need anything else please tell me................. You'll need a turbo, and the oil return gubbins, you need to consider your CR and look at what exhaust valves you are running in what type of guides, camshaft nneds thinking about.

And if you are after a car that will spin the wheels in 4th you'll need a pretty amazing gearbox etc (plus a crash helmet!)

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

Clutch setup is another thing to consider.

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

And a bulkhead box (along with someone who can weld properly) if you're using the Metro manifold and T3.

And you'd better put a cross pin diff in the gearbox or you'll probably spin the wheels once only before the expensive bang.....

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

exhaust 2" is the size of the maniflow downpipe, what sort of box do i want to be using??? or should i just go striaght through???

fuel pipes, whats standard on carburetored minis

turbo disturbutor i ment will a 1300t dizzy be any good standard sounds not tho, mapped ignition is better i dont really understand what i want and how to fit set them up or anything really megasquirt or jolt

intercooler, by running boost i ment proper bosst not a silly amount like 5 or 6 psi, i think on a adjuster i will run 15psi max,
2 or 3psi around town daily driving sort of thing (if thats possible)

manifolds(needs exhaust, stage 1 inlet will that be any good???) If you use the metro exhaust manifold i dont really want to be cutting the bulkhead so custom mirage type i thing i think

turbo spec carb (+needle and spring) do you know of a neddle that would be good or should i just get it rolling roaded straight away and whats the difference between a n/a and turbo carb???

if i need anything else please tell me.................
You'll need a turbo, your brother knows about my turbo its a ihi something

the oil return gubbins, what are these???
you need to consider your CR, i was kind of hoping to be told what compression i need for 15psi

look at what exhaust valves, dont know what to use, was going to get sodium filled exhaust valves, can iuse second hand ones???

you are running in what type of guides, standard unless they need changing
camshaft, phase 1 turbo

gearbox, what your reccomend i think i will be using a 3.1:1 diff but that box is standard

what do i need to do about porting the head??? aswell please thank you

thanks again jack

ps anyone know if 1.5:1 roller rockers will be anygood
and how much i could get a cross pin diff and how to fit it
thanks

it is ALL answered already.....

i have checked that link already and i cant find everything i would like to know
im quite sure my biuld will be one od a kind and its not going to have the answer i wouldnt have thought i would just like other peoples views on the matter
thanks
jack

sorry chap but every question you have asked is "the basics" dont take that the wrong way, im not meening to be condecending, but every question in taht list has been discussed in detail, do your homework, if you cant be bothered spending a few late evenings reading i doubt you have the motivation to build the engine.

Try this:



And this:



You obviously have not tried very hard.

Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."
Stephen Hawking - "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."

:) .. if you are turning up no specific results for a PH1 ona small bore turbo it is very likely its because no one has tried it to date. so either be the first and share the info, or go with the tried and tested MG metro (or similar) cam.

it took me 2 years of reading this andother forums before i even started my build, You gott appreciate the same questions do get asked over and over dont take it personal! .

mite be worth making a thread on this forum similar to this on 16vminiclub.

good luck with the build :)

ok thanks evolution
i have read them post already
they says nothing about the phase 1 cam, i have n/a mg cam,
so if the ps1 is poo i will that
one of links has just hooked me up to wil's 20 hour conversion which has reminded me

do i want to be put a lambda sensor and gauge in my car???

thanks evolution

paul s
the charts you have done look to be bloody good
and i no i didnt find them so i musnt have looked hard enough,

will the 998 chart be the same for a 1098, if you not can you do me a quick favour and just do one for me thanks,

only kidding i wouldnt expect that,

but thanks for the linky and i wait in anticpation for your reply to the 1098 against the 998 chart

thanks alot
jack

Jack Jones

you want a wideband lambda and gauge in your car :) best thing i ever bought, jsut bear in mind that on an a-series the reading on teh gauge wont be exactly what is beign seen by all cylinders as AFR'd differe from inner to outer cylinders. so play it safe, but a wideband is an exxelent tool to warn you of impending doom, a £150 gadget that can very easily save your engine :)

i didnt think they where that much i swear i see one for like £40 about 6 months ago tho

Jack Jones

thatll be a narrow band setup surely? the wideband sensor alone is £60 ish not including controller and display!

mightve been that then
