aussiebaja - June 13th, 2007 at 05:30 PM

hi guys could you please tell me what i would need to setup my baja 1200 with a small but good turbo ,but i want to do it old school without all the intercoolers ,water injection and stuff ,,,,thanx ,,,,

a turbo
a carb, I suggest you use a draw thru. I have had good success with an SU
an intake manifold to suit your turbo
a bigger oil pump and oil filter set up and a means for getting the turbo oil back into the case, maybe thru your rocker cover.
An exhaust manifold.

and plenty of research....get a copy of turbomania...good source for oldskool stuff...and plent of surfing (the net that is)

These are the basics but it's where you need to start.

why would you do something like that when you could do a similiar setup to kroozen63 baja,i thought you guys might help but ,,,,,,i guess not ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanx stanley for your help anyway

No the pumps are a different size

try the Judson set up its a bit of extra boost but the kits are getting expensive now days

The Twin carby set ups give better torque on the small engines

ooooh, meow!

Giving more of an idea and discussion of what you want will get you more discussion back.

1200 cranks are spindly flexy things.

The engine will require a good once over. If you are asking the oil pump question you will prob get better cheaper result by adding cubes.

Sorry aussie baja but I kinda agree with the other guys. Old skool doesn't mean cheap. The TAT owes me more than it cost to fit a suby to my sons kombi. But I did it just to do it basically. a 1916 may have been cheaper but everyone has one of those......:P

At the end of the day it's up to you...just do your homework

up where i live around the new england there's a lot of hilly running and so the idea of a small turbo setup ,i know the bigger donk would be better but there's no challenge in that ,i just like the idea of setting up a small turbo to help push her up the hills and have a little fun ,if or when it blows up ill go the bigger donk then, but while its goin fine i thought ide give it a go ,if i can pick up a good second hand turbo and do all the rest of the work myself i cant see why i cant get away with spending less than $1000,ive got a well equiped workshop to use
