Hey all,
At the end of this year I will have some money (and a workshop) to play with my newest MY Series, for the engine I am thinking something ridiculous like an ER27 running twin EA82 turbos and subsequently rear disc brakes.
Does anyone have any idea of the logistics of this? I asked the google but it didn't seem to know.

I would say google got scared.
the engine will go in but there is no room for the radiator anymore
as for twin turbos NFI

The ER just an EA82+ 2 cylinders
Go a H6 - won't need crappy EA82Ts on it
See
here - red Brumby (same as a MY wagon) = H6. White Brumby ER27

Yeah you will be seriously pushed for room with an ER27 in an MY engine bay, in both length and width.
If you wanna be different, whack Ken's H6 3.0 in there, it is shorter than an ER27 with 2 turbos and will be more powerful too

yeah good idea - especially the "buying my H6" bit

I especially tore an ad from a Zoom mag of ten years ago or so, now misplaced, article had a chart showng ER27 will fit Brumby and L Series. Thought it was an amusing way to get us into trouble
Ad a pair of turbos of EA82T size, may be too big the pair, or spool up late.
Just do NA 6 of some sort

For turbo selection youd be looking at a pair of turbos from an engine of about 1.4L, but its a lot of effort for not much gain.
A single turbo ER27 in an XT6 would be cool, a TD05 would probably be the turbo of choice.

Yeah the twin turbos were just an idea, but I'm much more liking the sound of a single turbo ER27 using a TD05, when I get around to this I will make sure I do a build write up, and it wouldn't bother me to either top mount the radiator (after lift kit) or stick it in the back.
