Range rover signal turbo
Hi I'm new to this forum
I'm looking building a single turbo for my 1986 Range Rover (3.5 on carbs)
I'm not new to a Turbo engines i have had a lot of turbo cars in the past starting off with a MG Metro Turbo and My latest car a Skyline R33 GTST but i am new to a V8 so what i need to know is.
1. is there if any work to be dun with the pistons
2. use 3.5 efi or use 3.9 efi (I've got a complete ex police disco 3.9efi system) or stay with a carb setup.
3.only need to run around 0.5bar-0.7bar boost
Thanks for your help

Hi,
1. As long as the rest of the engine is in good nick, the standard pistons should be able to cope with about 8-10psi.
2. Doesn't matter what EFI you use, they're both the same. However, remember you'll have to change the fuel system (pupm, lins etc.) as your current carb system won't be sufficient.
3. If you want to stick with carbs I have a janspeed twin trubo set up on my RV8 but am currently in the process of fitting EFI, so I have two HIF-8 Jag carbs and all the turbo mounting parts if you're interested. Drop me a PM.
thanks
