you say it is alot of fun....... which tells me you have or know someone that has done it! what do i need to do to the N/A to get that power out of it??? i have seen that they make turbo conversion kits for my motor, granted it is alot of work and fun, not to mention alot of beer, but it can be done! i know that it would be hard because of the compression of my motor, but i am ***** to try it! first i want to punch some power with no turbo and then when i get used to that much power with that little car..... then i will put the turbo on it and really have some fun! give me some ideas if you can please! i know about porting and fuel to air and so on, but is there anything more special about these cars??? thanks!
im in the middle of something. Im pretty much adapting all the stock turbo parts to my NA block. intake manifolds, electronics, the works. its been a fun project so far, i just need to finish it! i still need a fuel pump, boost gauge, and a wideband for safety, but i think i wont have spent more then 1-1500 on the whole thing once im done.

Maxt, what does your's idle at though? That's the biggest thing that turns people off about them. Never heard a p-port at idle though. Heard plenty of b-ports though.

Most of the time its up in the 1100-1300 range, depending on temperature, it idles as low as 500 when its really cold outside. When its warmed up the idle will creep a bit because the throttlebodies I am using wont close enough to lower the idle speed further, if the throttlebodies would allow it, I would set it at 900.
Oh, that ain't to bad. Got any vid or sound clip of it idling/running?

I just uploaded one, of the initial startup, it was running on a 4x1600cc map, still not bad for the first couple of minutes of run time.. Next time I go grocery shopping I will shoot a tuned idle vid..
It might take a few minutes for youtube to approve the video.

i put the full stock TII set up on my NA. only cost me about $500 or so. but you'll need a stand alone ECU or your motor will be short lived. oh, and of course fuel upgrades. and there was no more 6 ports on the manifold cause i used the TII intake manifolds. even if you use the NA ones, you can easily take the 6 port acuators off. i did this even while it still was NA.

yeah turboing the 6port NA block isnt that hard, ive done it
pretty much to do it, you need everything for a turbo swap minus the motor, thats the turbo, the intake manifolds, ecu, injectors, afm, boost sensor, ect.... then you just port match the 4 port intake to the 6 port block, and then of course custom oil and coolent lines...
If you dont have all those parts laying around its probbaly a better idea to buy a real t2 engine with all the goods on it.
( however it works great when your in a situation like me where u have all the turbo parts but no turbo blocks!! haha )
i would aslo not recomend doing this to a high milage motor as it wont last very long if its allready worn out.
