Hi

What do i need to consider if I wish to add a turbo to my engine ?

I currently have a 1360 cc Engine but Im gonna get another one.
And I have thoughts of putting a turbo on it.

Some advice would be appreciated fully.

thanks

Don't know about turbos, but how about an XU9J4 out of an Mi16 or a BX
16valve?

It fits straight in the 205 Gti, so with a bit of engine mount jiggery
pokery....

160bhp standard and 133lb ft torque....

Erm, everything.

If you need to ask, then you can't do it.

Im asking cause I just want to get some ideas from anyone that know
more about this or have done it before.
Im not an expert at engines, I get people to do it for me, Im just
asking so I get to know a little more about what it involves so I know
people dont con me into buying things i dont need.

thanks !

Wouldn't a better and easier conversion be a 406MI16 engine or a TI16
engine.
This should be a lot easier for conversion.

I agree with you on that, but if you ever find a T16 engine in a good shape,
and at a decent price, consider yourself as blessed, and buy a lottery
ticket ASAP !

AFAIK there was no turbocharged 16v engine fit to a Citroen. Still, the 2.0
TurboCT (XU10J2TE) could be a way to go.
