alfa 75- 1.8 turbo in a 1992 twin spark?

Anyone thought of or done the obvious? sureley this would be an easy power gain? just an engine management system needed once the turbo was found?

shall i be the first to try?

Do what? Switch out the engine? That won't be a first one...

The turbo and manifold is impossible to bolt up to the TS head if that's what you mean and the injection system between the two has nothing in common and the CR in the TS is too high anyway.
A custom turbo setup on a TS engine would be nice though, but that has been done too.

thanks, i guess i wasnt clear atall!

i saw a guy in the auto italia championship with a twinspark turbo, he said he spent shed loads on it, including a gearbox. think it may be easier going down the route of a 200sx engine swap and keep it naturally aspirated.

probably ruin the 50 50 weight distribution and the sound tho :-(

There was a 75 in New Zealand that ran a SR20DET (engine in a Silvia/200SX). So it certainly wouldn't be the first time for that either. I'll try and dig up the pictures.

Edit: Here we go - Forced Induction TS's?

ROCK ON
