hey guys , i was wondering can the mpi engine be turbo'd using a carb . i know there is no hole for the dizzy however i would be running mega jolt i was wondering if there are any other differences that wouldn't allow it to be turbo'd ( i don't really know much about the mpi engine ) |

I'm pretty sure Andy and a few others are using MPI blocks so see no reason in principle. Not sure about the pistons though |

like you say, a problem would be running a dizzy, so megajolt solves that. The other thing to bear in mind is the turbo oil return. I'm running an MPi block but using injection so have the original cam sensor plugged in, therefore i've machined a hole in the gearbox for the return. If you're not using the cam sensor you can probably make a return to fit that. Edited by dan187 on 14th Mar, 2014. |

Yep. I reckon the crank sensor hole is big enough to bore out and tap to take a suitable screw in fitting for the oil return. Then bar the oil filter and dizzy hole, the rest is the same. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:
