XR2i converting to RS turbo?
Hi
I have a 1990 XR2i with the 1.6 EFI engine, I would like to put a turbo engine in but can't find one close enough and cheap enough.
I see plenty of turbo parts available on ebay and was wondering if i can convert my original engine to turbo? if so, what parts would I need and what modifications would I need to do i.e drill holes for oil feeds and return pipe, Intecooler, ecu, wiring loom etc etc
Regards

Do you know what you have to do then?
Will you have to drill any holes in the sump etc etc?

Just been having a good read and i think it'll be easier to one day source a complete engine, loom and ecu.
