turbo pinto

turbo charged pinto's who has one? how good does it go?how reliable is it?is it costly to build?i have a mk1, any info would be sweet cheers

you can look up my car in the showroom section it's an efi turbo main problems i've had is heat and clutches , if you are looking to go carby i may have some bits that would interest you

i think it came to just under 3k, that was intercooler hoses , braided lines, megasquirt, wideband setup, blah blah the whole lot, probably a bit less considering i ordered extra of certain stuff, the main killer was the inlet manifold, if i done it again it would be a mx5 setup as seen in the other threads do the sums by the time you buy a bloody pinto efi manifold stick some reco'd v8 injectors in there you could nearly buy a motor, although i'm trying another pinto turbo but with ea falcon throttle body which will chop alot of the cost and no intercooler

injectors are the v8 Holden blue top type, had to do a bit of cutting to get it in there , it's running a 3row rad and didn't have room to fit my fan that used to be there in, in my setup you would have to look at something like twin 9" fans or so

yea sounds about right who cares if it doesn't have injectors as the standard ones and probably not suitable, the Holden ones fit directly in , as long as it comes with the fuel rail and regulator ??

HI
buddy i do have and so dus my mate have a complete set up or parts for sale what are you after and what type of dollars are you talking as we can sell you a turn key set up as well

that is one nice mk1 thanks for the link, wish i had the patience to build an engine like that

you could look at the saab red inj as they are dirrect swap(i think about 400cc) or denso 199500-1370(550 cc) with very liuttle mod(drill the fuel rail mounting holes from 6mm to 8mm)
