turbo charging a LD20...

#1

Post by shaun »

just having a brain fart here...
will need appropriate intake and exhaust manifolds...
and there is enough space in the engine bay for the turbo to fit in.

but...will the turbo cause any heat problems being in the enclosed space of a vanette? wikipedia says that Americans were having trouble with the gen 2 vanettes fitted with a 2.4l diesel as the fit was too tight and they liked to catch fire...
but this is a 2l engine and there is plenty of room to fit a turbo under there...

just wondering about heat really...and then i'd have to source a turbo and appropriate manifolds.

any ideas on the subject?
my poor old vanette needs a little more power in the top end (hills are an issue)
