Modification of NA engine to turbocharger

[peter71]

hi,

I am planning to put turbo on my 4G18 mitsubishi engine. What are the components of the engine that I am going to replace? What are the accessories that I am going to buy for TD04 turbocharger?

We get asked this question a lot so have a look at this thread which covers the basics. I have to admire your ambition though! And I hope you pull it off.

Cheap turbos can be purchased from breakers yards which are ideal for a try it and see type project.

Adding a turbo is a major engineering task and without a kit with full instructions and all the parts you need there is a big risk of blowing up the engine. Expect to spend 50 hours upwards on a project of this type. This is not the sort of modification you should undertake unless you are mechanically competent and know what you are doing.

It is worth looking at superchargers as these are generally much easier to install than a turbo is.

We already have SLEEPER - http://www.torquecars.com/forums/f10...-engine-15003/ - I just can't put it in every forum. More people seem to be doing this though and some of the finished conversions are quite impressive.

I had missed it probably because I only look at the new posts.
