Hello people what small Cubic Capacity cars circu 600cc petrol cars have turbos? I know the smart car does but the turbo bolts into the manifold and i am looking for a "snail Turbo" for my project, which is to turbo a 600cc motorcycle for no other reason than to do it,

cheers

Most of the Japanese K-cars had a turbo version.

Can't you buy turbo kits for bike engines already, probably going to be cheaper than using a kit off a kei car. The Daihatsu Charade was only a 1.0 and came with a turbo that might be small enough, but again not cheap.

EDIT: I take it back - I just googled turbo kits for bike engines and the kits are £5k+ eek

Daihatsu Cuore/Mira Avanzato
Daihatsu Copen
Suzuki Capucino

I think they were turbo anyway! Might be wrong

Thats the thing "off the shelf" turbo kits are very expensive this is just a £500 winter project i can fabricate and manifold and Plenum myself, its more of a project to see if i can do it on the cheap ideally i only want to spend £150 on a second hand turbo,
