8V turbos!

Guys, how difficult is it to get hold of these x-flow heads? Im going to be chucking a 2.0 bottom end on mine with forged pistons, and cranking the boost up to 1 bar. Just wondering if it would be advantagious to run x-flow? Which manifold changes position?

 

the inlet moves around to the front. the exhasut ports are the same as the stupid no-cross flow head.

I can get you one imported from the States if you want one?

 

What manifold to use though??

 

Use the lower half of the cross flow one, and make you're own plenum. you don't need long intake runers on a turbo motor. Look at the 20vT for instance.

 

Wouldnt it sit a little high? Directly over the rocker and all?

EDIT - Me being dense

don't fit it above the rocker, do this



just make sure you weld it up good and proper!

 

Are the (excuse terminology) things which connect to the ports custom, or robbed from another lump?

 

that's the lower half of the crossflow manifold, just cut down, with that custom plenum welded to it.

 

Excellent stuff. Cheers mate.

 

I've got a G60 ECU and loom too if you want to convert yours to fuel injection?

 

Not so easy on an older car though is it?

 

yeah, just bin the wiring loom and fit a 90 spec one.

 

That just the engine loom? Need to change the fuse box too?

 

hey Phat....I've got one of the turbo technics exhaust manifolds sitting in my cellar ready to be fitted to my mk1 . I also have a g60 management system, so I'm going to use digifant head and a g60 bottom end, or the other option is forged schmidt pistons on a standard block, which I also own

whats the best option, g60 block or rebore and pistons, as you seem up on these matters

I only want mild (190ish) bhp so what injectors would be best to use, standard g60 or bigger

If I do the g60 lump,anyone interested in the schmidt pistons(with rings) drop me a mail and we can discuss a price (hope thats not classed as advertising)

 

The pistons to fit a std 8v block?

 

yup they sure are veedubnutz,,,,why you interested, if so mail me, and we'll discuss a price, BBT's list em at 250 just for the pistons

 

Im after a 2.0 for my rebuild. Phat - what intercooler did Lee use on that beast?

 

a Rallye one

 

I think the schmidt pistons bore the engine out to 1900 if thats any good veedub

 

what a car phat! looking at that mag issue right now.
