why is it that a TD04, which would be off an 1800(or 2000cc ?) engine be too small for the 1600?
surely it would be ideal?
Just interested.

Flows heaps of air and spools relatively quick

Exactly what I had on my 1600 that made 292hp atw.
The GTiR wheels, but the Silvia .64 rear housing instead of the .86 GTiR one.
A TD04 will be fine for a street car, will be down on top end power compared to others, but will boost early and go better than a supercharger.

You'll need oil feed, oil return and water piping for the turbo. Then the intercooler piping.
It'll need a new plenum chamber, as the stock one tends to pop with boost applied.
Injectors: They'll need to be side feed if you're going to use the same fuel rail. the stock ones will be able to handle a little bit of boost, but it depends on how much power you're aiming for.
Then the ECU. Get a link or something similar. The quads on the silvertop are tricky to tune, due to the weak vacuum at idle. You'll need a vacuum accumulator for the MAP sensor, or you'll have a $hit of time getting it to idle and getting the tune right.
You will have a hard time to get a turbo 20 Valve to work with a 4AGZE computer. Once again due to the quads, but also the VVT and the fact the head is a lot different to the 16v ones. Personally, I haven't heard of a turbo 20 Valve being run with a 4AGZE computer, but it may have been done.
Maybe a fuel pump.
Maybe an aftermarket fuel pressure reg.
Clutch.
It all adds up.
OR.
Just buy a turbo car. After getting all the bit to turbo my Ae92 FXGT, I just gave up and ave bought a turboed AE101 Levin GT-Z, easy.
It needs a few things done to it, but it already has all the good bits on it, Link, LSD, good clutch, injectors etc, etc.....
