Turbo upgrade on RV8
Discussion
Looks good ,can you get decent MPG on cruise ,those Turbos like a drink ..
Is it going to be useable or will it bite you in the asse leaving the car wrapped around a tree ..
What is the power delivery like ? Is there a sudden uncontrollable mighty power surge..
Drove one of those Jap Impreza things ,it was all or nothing ..waiting for the Turbo to cut in ..then warp speed ..
What would my car with 340hp at the fly make with one of your Turbo kits fitted .

The fact you have a nice big torquey engine to start with there should be no lag, round town it will be off boost. You will still get a nice big surge of power but it won't take you by surprise as for mpg on cruise it should be as good as NA as again your not on boostIs it going to be useable or will it bite you in the asse leaving the car wrapped around a tree ..

As my engine is still AWOL would a 4.6 out of a rangy be suitable for turboing in a chim, complete with the gems ecu fettled by Marc Adams?
Get a basic refresh on the rangy lump and a can upgrade but leave the rest stock. ? A cheap way of getting a decent amount of power ?
Sure no problem, Mark Adams is more than capable of mapping our DIY kits Get a basic refresh on the rangy lump and a can upgrade but leave the rest stock. ? A cheap way of getting a decent amount of power ?

How reliable is this going to be over a N/A car. If the engine is in good health with say around 50k on the clock when it rolls in for the conversion what kind of life span is expected with road use only?
You don't tend to get that amount of extra power for nothing so is the life span of the engine not a trade off if still running stock internals?
