Rick, how much horse power did he saw he was making. Looks like a nice clean setup.

if i were to build a 4cylinder with a turbo, i would go all the way with it... probably use the ford 2.3 l , garret or turbonetics t3 turbo, megasquirt fuel injection set-up..
ive been contemplating a fuel injection outfit on the engine i'm building, just to get the fuel mileage.. have to have a laptop and i would also go with the megasquirt fuel injection its the cheapest and it has a strong following and community for help and support in tuning..
i had a 1989 ford ranger years ago, well in 1989
bought it new... it had a 2.3 liter in it, 5 speed, had an 8.8 rear in it, i lowered it, put a 4.10 gear in it and some enkei 5 hole indy style wheels..that lil truck would scoot for a 4cyl, and it was fun to drive wish i still had that lil truck, make a nice truck to drive to work....

But I have a 60 Morris Minor and a Toyota 3TC 4 banger and want to put the two together. Mostly want know if there is any one here that knows turbo's and what needed to make them work. Remember this about the engine only and it COULD go in a T too!!! As always thanks alot

The 2.3 was offered with a turbo from ford In the SVO Mustang and the Thunderbird Sport Coupe. In factory trim they claimed 175 HP. I had and still am thinking about using the 2.3, I picked up a turbo from a Thunderbird at a flea market for 10 bucks, but even better theirs a complete Thunderbird right up the street, it has a blown rearend, as soon as he drops the price a bit more, Ill have to be making new motor mounts...
The 2.5L turbo 4 banger in my STi make 305hp/335tq at the wheels, thats with bolt-ons and tuned. The Subaru motors are probably too wide for a T tho, but they sit nice and low. I would do a 2.3L turbo from an SVO if I went 4 cylinder in a hot rod. I have seen those make 400hp when built correctly.
