the million dollar topic, turbo 4banger

[luis castro]

i have a 92 rs. i want to turbocharge it but i'm not really sure of what i need to make it work. so far, i have a vj 11 turbo, manifold and downpipe off of a mx-6 gt. any info would help, thanx.

well throw that manifold & downpipe away-- they wont do you any good.

You gotta go custom, or do a BPT swap.

Custom would literally require everything to be fabricated-- costing several thousand dollars.

Or-- there is a company that was developing turbo kits for the SOHC (your car) a while back.

Do a Search thru the forums for the word TURBO & you will have sevarl pages worth of stuff to read thru that will answer all of your questions.

I did a turbo setup with the VJ-11. The total labor came to like 1800. I have an inline walboro fuel pump, super afc, 1st gen intercooler and bov, fuel pressure regulator, stock injectors for now, oil and boost gauges and my battery is now in the trunk. I will warn you that installing the VJ-11 is a *****. You have to turn it and cut it because it just doesnt fit. Its to big. If you have anyone questions let me know.

I used the manifold from corksport. I didn't cut it. I took it to a shop and had it done. It was hitting the engine block making the turbo sit about an inch to far out on the driver side.
