can you turbo a 1.6l escudo engine? if so what turbo could i use and how much psi

sure you can...... i just happen to have the perfect turbo sitting here t2 type $180 brand new.......

yip we have a chap in our club that has turbo'd his 1.6 escudo and I think he used 2 head gaskets to decompress it a little.. from what I have heard goes real well and hasn't had too many problems.. I could ask him how he did it..?

Yes, an easy engine to turbo.

what does it need? just a manifold, fuel pump, computer, injectors? How is the best way to lower compression? Double head gaskets? different pistons? also what would you do about an airflow meter?

Just a few questions if any body has time to answer.

cheers

in my experiance if you use a turbo on the smaller side and run a modest boost,ie standard you should be ok with having to do anything else(injectors,head gasket). Esp if vehcile is a thirsty one. A higher pressure fuel pump helps alot,as does and intercooler.
Have done a few cars in my boy racer days and found this works but you have to be conservitve.

as above dude perfect turbo size sitting here

Turbo still for sale?

Is there a manifold that bolts up or is it a custom job.

What is required for the computer?
