Basic components for turbo engine
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi guys,

Just starting new build. Very much track focused with full miglia spec cage etc but will still be road legal.

Have done a bit with A series but not turbos. Now I know people will have preferences but what basic components work together? Turbo, manifold, cam etc? I don't expect everyones top secret engine specs, just need pointing in right direction. Want it to be a 1293.

Many thanks

Ben.

the metro turbo ex manifold only fits with the metro turbo inlet manifold, this is the usual combination, or there is the mirage ex manifold that allows a T2 or similar turbo to be fitted with no bulkhead box, or make your own...

cam wise, somthing mild, like a 266, for a stormer go for the AVR/Avonbar phase 2 cam, pistons, use metro turo ones or aftermarket, omega ect, rods and crank std will be fine. cr of 8.5-9:1 depending on use, and an intercooler.
