turbo charging a vw
BJ - February 9th, 2004 at 04:52 PM

Currently have a twin port in my a baja and was thinking of rebuilding a single port and fitting a turbo. Just to get the right set up before fitting to the twin port. just a few questions on which way I should go. Suc or blow through carby. If the 1600 sp goes alright would probably leave in car. Any idea on carbi selection curreently havew bug spray but not sure if this will handle boost / greater vacuum. Orginally i was from a holden background and have though about jetting (modifing) a 350 holley to suit with the turbo. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

i have a turbo on a 1600 tp with a single throat stromberg on it. It is a rajay turbo Not sure how it goes yet as i have not realy run it myself but I am told it went pretty hard. I am planning on going for a side draft webber if I decide to keep the buggy. Should be good to test out in a couple of weeks:D

inject it :)

well I wouldm, by the time you screw around with jets and all the time, you go buy a EA falcon CFI throttlebody which comes with injectors and inbvuilt fuel pressure regulator for $100, second hand ECU to run it for $500 or so, and it prolly costs only an extra $1000 plus dyno time if you want it tuned for you.

failing that, I woukld personally go the extra hassle of the blothru setup, then you can intercool it easily.

I have a kit that Shimo of Hellbug developed. It uses the Weber DMTT carby that shiftyVW has for sale. Turbo sits underneath the rear parcel tray next to the gearbox. Good for 14.2 secs with 1835cc and stock internals (yes no special cranks rods or heads!!).

How fast do you want to go?

And how much do you want to spend?
