Have a low km carb 82, have clapped out ea82turbo, why not put turbo on carb engine.....no computer,injectors, etc. would the compression be to high for this to be successful?

be OK for a while, then something inside is gonna break out. Blow through or suck through on your mind ?

Turbos with carbys are utter crap, there is a reason why everybody except tightarses tries to make them work

Take your carby block and put the turbo heads on it and you will have a good combo if you keep the inlet temps cool and only run 98 fuel

I'm only an armchair expert ( so totally useless) but use these for blow through, suck through can have lag problems ,

and yes, if you are putting in a turbo, you need to drop the cylinder compression with either low compression pistons or adding volume by using turbo heads or some other meathod - read here

so its simple for you - just swap the heads !

Thats is great info.... a light bulb just went of...... I got a great spare engine with 160000km on it, I'll do this up with the old turbo engine heads and swap out with my low km engine when built. I'm off to the shed now!!!!

The car you are putting this into has the turbo, EFI and computer already?

Otherwise you are up for a time comsuming money sucking project that would probably cost the same as putting in an EJ22 or EJ25 N/A for the same power results.

It is called therapy, (VB/shed therapy) I have all the parts already, and I have all the time, 13 shifts per month. what i don't have is a EJ 22 or EJ 25 lying around or the money to buy one.

Well then go for it ... Therapy is good

I do it in a similar way... minus the alcohol as I'm highly alergic to it ... everytime I drink it I break out in handcuffs

Hell yeah !! I got halfway there....EA82 carb block, mpfi turbo heads and cam - currently running it NA LPG. Even got the cross member cut out in this Brumby

Get the timing back to about 10 instead of 20 with this sort of comp

I need a 13 shifts a month job !

alcohol, hand cuffs and the wife wearing the pants ..... steeping over the mark of decency found in here Jules ?

leaves you with 17 other shifts a month to play and fix up any errors should it all break

I also had the bits on hand, wanted to make use of a throttle body for an air valve for LPG, make use of the twin port intake if it wasn't to go turbo. Prolly runs about std 8.8:1 compression and pushed the lighter? Brumby along nicely and quietly, tows trailers very well, and the cut xmem is there in case turbo up pipe gets an urge to merge....
