I was just wondering if anyone knew where i could source a second hand or new bolt on turbo conversion for my NA Zed. Ive been looking at Jim Wolfe Tech Sports 650 (JWT) turbos or greddy TD05-16G, but ideally i want a kit that has everything i need for the job - all piping etc

 

 

And before you say it - no i should sell and buy a tubby. Mine is mint i know the car and its already tuned to capacity for an NA - so i dont want to start again !

 

Has anyone done the conversion before ? If so could they tell me all i need for the job - injectors, ECU etc

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated - and if ive got to remove the engine then i will port and polish, and get some JUN adjustable cam gears too - but if its going to cost 10 grand then i wont bother

 

Thanks for any help peeps

topless converted his NA convertible to TT, you may be better off finding a good TT engine and doing the swap that way.. plus you'd be able to recoup some of the costs by selling your NA engine afterwards

Thanks guys - will check out that link now Vijay

Deffo speak to Mark (Topless) not as easy as bolting the tubs onto a NA engine :(

I think you should wait a year for a new bolt-on product to come out for the N/A, keep watching..........

if you want to bolt tubs onto your NA engine, then check out this link:

bear in mind that unless youre lowering the compression ratio, you will only be able to run very low boost pressures, no point in going bigger than stock. (& i wouldnt wanna do this anyway TBH!!)

 

good luck!

You could always bolt a centrifugal blower onto it, maybe 6psi with stock compression, or more with intercooling.

i may try and super charge it - if i can find a suitable place for the charger - which doesnt look too easy. I can get superchargers very cheap though - so it might be an idea.

 

Thanks for all your help - im currently looking into this with a view its probably too expensive. Nevermind - i am happy with the performance ive already got, but its always nice to get MORE POWER

If its any help, here is some spec from an NA in the US.

It ain't worth the time and the agro unless your model ain't available in Turbo guise :D

if you want give me a ring about it, it is a very complicated project!
