I think its time to 8vt!!

Hey all,

I think the time has come to turbo my C20NE, Iv been thinking about it for while, But now i can buy a manifold off ebay i havnt got a excuse not to do it

Iv been searching thru the site the last few days,

So i can see what i need,

So my plan is for starters is to just to run a Standard C20NE with a T25 turbo on it, runing about anywhere between 6-(what ever psi the standard engine will take), There after runing like that for a few months id go on to using megasquirt/omex and lower CR, machined piston and steel rods, etc etc,

The few questions i have,

Is where i could get a turbo downpipe made in the anglia area?

What size intercooler to use when using standard mangement and the T25?

The best Psi to run??

Also the best place for boost pipes?

Thanks in advances
Tom

what do you mean turbo down pipe we make our own

What size intercooler to use when using standard mangement and the T25?

big as you want bigger is better if running standard managment
The best Psi to run??

we had just under a bar on standard but we had duel stage reg around 8 psi should be ok

Also the best place for boost pipes? ebays your friend

Thanks in advances
