ok..waiting for the flywheel to turn up now,and i was thinking,how easy it would be to make the headers i need to make face up and around to a pair/single turbo...say just running 8psi max (standard engine)..i want max torque not max hp so i guess maybe a pair of smallish vnt's (hello ebay)....(i know a supercharger would be best suited, but the engineering work would not be done in the 4 weeks it will take to get the flywheel, and i need to be using this truck now not next year.)
however....fuel here in the uk is way expensive, i need this car (range rover) to be affordable, i will be putting many a mile on her....so..how badly will this/these turbo/s kill the economy...yes i know it depends upon my right foot, but on my current rangie (diesel though!!) adding the turbo added economy...is this gonna happen on a petrol (lpg will be used too) motor, or is it going to cripple my wallet more than my wife and daughter??.
doing the engineering will be no probs,(done 3 diy turbos,but all on diesels)) though a pointer in which turbo/s one can find on ebay (ex diesel maybe as there are loads of them and this is a buget project (atleast it was ment to be )) that you have found to work well would be helpful...(need low end boost more tham outright top end hp)
oh, how much boost will a stock uz take if in good condition with stock ecu??( have 2 engines now,just in case i kill one) (maybe 3 by time hols over) as they are rather cheap here..ie last one sub 80k miles complete with ecu and un cut loom £80 taken out for me, ain't ebay great!)
thanks
