MY NEW ENGINE
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi everybody i posted a little while back saying that i was getting a turbo engine well

weeee heee i got it yesterday delivered to the back door by a mate at a very resonable price.

now i have no idea about turbo engines at all and over the next few months i will atempt to rebuild it and get it ready for fitting into my motor.

so i will probably be rackin everybodys brains for help and advise on what i should do .

i gave it a good clean today and it is in very good nick i think i got a bargin.

i will be cleaning the block and head at a later date as im going to take it to 1330 or 1380 not shore yet and get the head skimmed then painted .

my car is off the road at the moment as i am re-doing the I.C.E. but hopefully will get it on the road for the summer.:cool:

why skimmed ???

Everyone knows that instructions only have to be read if the thing doesn't work....

Hey Taz...
First things first ..... If I were you I'd sit down and read as much as you can about turbo engines and the work you need to do...

This site is a fountain of information and some people here have forgotten more than most of us will ever learn lol

There are many differences between turbo and normally aspirated engines, some of which are not obvious ...

have a good read before you reach for the spanners.. it'll help in the long run
