turbo conversion

Postby dee 2i on Thu Oct 23, 2003 8:02 pm

Does anyone know roughly how much would it cost to convert my xr2i to a turbo?? And where would be the best place to go get it done?

I know you all prob think it would be easier to just buy a Fezzy turbo, but l like my xr2i and have spent ALOT of money on it already so am not going to give up on it quite yet :D

Any advice would be great :D

if you were to convert your existing engine, you would have to change some of the internals, Pistons, Gugedon pins etc, turbo oil return into block. You would be better getting a good FRST engine with all the bits. etc loom, ecu, piping, will cost you though if you can't put it in yourself.

I just recently converted my 2i to a frst using a donar engine and the job is fairl;y straightforward to do, but the cost of other parts such as hoses and radiator put the cost up considerably and generally all the parts the donar engine is missing are a pain to get hold of and cost top money.

Its worth it in the end though when you take it for a rag for the firts time. :D
