Im not sure if that many people here are turbo minded.
mate its not that easy. the motors are different, you would need a whole new exhaust, different computer, way to much trouble, best bet it to sell it and buy a turbo model. especially because insurance will not cover you and it will no longer be legally registered, because its not a factory turbo.
i just bought a TX5, and i wanna do it up and spend heaps of money on it, slap a turbo on it, lower it, nice rims, respray, wogjob sunroof, is gonna be sweet as.
I know it will cost 10 times the value of my car to do all this, but i dont care.
do you guys have a cruise coming up? it would be graet to catch up will all of my new mates on the Ford Forums.
Buy a complete turbo engine from Jap importers or better still buy a front cut which will include ecu,dash front suspension and brakes...You'll possibly get whole package for less than aftrmarket ecu and tuned...It will bolt straight in...
im new to this site just joined today!!
im on my way to buyin a TX5 Turbo 88 manual i think its 2.2ltr, anways im getting it dirt cheap ($600) wit spare mags new tyres, stereo, good body, but a stuffed motor. when i mean stuffed i mean 300,000 kms, almost ceased turbo and a couple gaskets gone, plus noisy lifters and i think its been overheated. im buying it to rebuild it and i have a budget of $3000. can anyone help me wit gettin a turbo for it or does anyone know where i can get the turbo recond somewhere. im goin to be workin on it slowly. ill be working on the body and leave the engine for the time being. brakes need to be redone.
