Anyone with a 1330 turbo?
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi guys, I'm currently building a 1330 engine, and have now decided to turbo it - luckily enough I'm not too far into it!

At the moment I have a 1275gt rod change close ratio gearbox (A+layshaft conversion) and I have a 3.44 diff on the way although I'm gunna go with a 3.1 instead and a X-pin.

I was just wondering what sort of spec you're running? What performance parts you have or reccommend? I've found the PDF table sheet on here which is really helpful, but thought i'd get some more info.

You should really set a budget (don't expect to stick to it though) and use the search to see what you can afford, bearing in mind what you want the car for, i.e. trackdays, every day car etc etc, how much power your aiming for, that way you can ask more specific questions are yours are rather general!

*Megajolt is a highly recommended addition from what I have seen on here, but it depends on your requirements. Also your best to have an intercooler if you want to raise the boost, get a well worked head (Benross or Turbophil on here), consider a GT17 on a custom manifold (matty on here I think makes them), otherwise T2 on Mirage manifolds to avoid cutting the bulkhead, or T2/T3 on a metro turbo manifold using a bulkhead box, the list does go on and on, but seriously, search has all your answers*

It'll be used more for a weekend/toy to be honest. Mainly for shows though. And I'm not too fussed on a budget as I have a 998 in my car at the moment but am building the engine outside of the car and will be a fairly slow build. So I'm just slowly collecting parts.

Mikerace on here has a 1330 turbo.

It all depends on your budget/prodicted output as to what parts are necessary.

yeah stick the bit in and give it a wobble

I have a 1330 turbo.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Well I havent really thought of a predicted output really. I don't want something MEGA! But something that goes when I want it to. Say around 130-150BHP?
