you need to SEARCH for it.

I've tried searching for info on this subject, but you don't reallt get much usfull info. Just all the mindless spam that this forum holds.

An inlet manifold.

PM me I have one.

OK, I've done a wee search on here and there is a bit of lack of info so here goes.

Presuming you have an AE101 S/C version.

1, Remove all the engine extra's back to basically only the block head assy left.

2, Fit on a FWD redtop small port inlet manifold to the inlet side. You may also need the fuel rail but use your original injectors

3, Decide what turbo you are going to use.

4, Get a custom made Exhaust manifold to suit your turbo. A lot of "off the shelf" or "I have one to sell" types I have seen end up touching on the radiator so best bet is to go to an Exhaust place and get one made to suit your car.

5, You will have to get an oil return welded into the sump.

6, Depending on if you want to keep the a/c or not you may have to relocate the alt and P/S pump. If relocating use FWD non s/c alt and P/S bracketry to suit

7, Fit an intercooler and plumb it up from the turbo outlet through the cooler and into the throttle body.

8, Either put a filter on the turbo intake or build some sort of cold air box.

9, Dump pipe from turbo to exhaust.

10, Your original ECU will run things fine.

I,m sure there's more but as people reply i'll edit this post.

Cool, thanks for the info, I was thinking about puting a 4agze into my fxgt and then wacking on a turbo. But I wasn't too sure on how much work was involved

If your not starting with a supercharged car to begin with the whole process is diferent.

Bumping this back up for anyone to add more relevant info to.

[Malcolm]

I wonder if maybe you should split off matt dunn's post and sticky it. This has got to be one of the most common questions.

Most forums out there have stickies of all the common topics, this one should be no exception

btw don't think I'm trying to tell you how to do your job, just making suggestions/try to help

[Dell'Orto]

I'm all for suggestions


I'm just curious here - where would you take the oil feed for the turbo from?

[deaf_rattle]

a t piece where the oil pressure sender goes maybe

[Malcolm]

yeah, but if you use a T piece and mount the stock pressure sender on it, it pays to get a steel T piece because copper/brass ones often break
some people tap the block for a feed, and some tee off from hosing to a remote oil filter
