Title: elford turbo kits?
Post by: james01uk on April 05, 2004, 07:34:08 PM
Hi

I have a first Gen and have been looking at an Elford turbo kit.

Does anyone know how easy they are to fit and if you can use them on standard 12A engine?

thanks

there is one for sale on ebay at the mo,  elford fitted it to the standard engine,  fairly easy to fit if you get everything, you will need to fit an oil return from the turbo to your sump. You will have to attach your exhaust to the turbo. There are a couple of preesure switches on an elford, one controls the ignition retard on boost.  Speak to Tim at RX motors, he may have some bits or he may have a 12 a turbo engine from japan, this was EFI\'d rather thann the SU carb on the elford.

just for your info,  this is on ebay.co.uk at the mo,  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2472958980&category=52640

if your interested,  it sounds like just about everything is there, down pipe eould be easy enough to have made, i reckon you could fit it in a weekend.   very cheap bang for buck
