Would like to find out if anybody has actually maged to do this successfully yet. I have heard people talking about it, saying they can do it. But does anybody actually have this engine running with a turbo.
Would like to do this to my own engine which is in a Diablo kit, but I dont know enough about the turbo charging to do the research. I need to follow the sucess of somebody else.
Where the hell do you get one from? which car did it come from?
It's obviously of the same vintage as the M20 lump, as it seems to have the same distributors on each bank...
In fact, I'd guess that whatever that enging is, it started life on the drawing board as two M20s bolted together!
I didn't follow all of the other thread - did he hook it up to the standard 318 gearbox and diff? It must put out a hell of a lot of torque....
I think if you put that in a sportster, there would have to be some interesting modifications to the engine bay panels - some long, aerodynamic blisters either side of the bonnet...
tee hee, that should do it! I'm tempted to drop a M62 into the Sportster in a few years time should be enough room for that N/A. Driving an 840Ci Sport today that steams a long even though it weighs 2 tonnes!
I'm twin turbocharging the M70... not finished it yet but have all the bits and am using a Motec M800.
I know a guy in the states who has an 850 that he fitted twin turbos to, with no other mods it did 540ft lb at the wheels... he didn't open the engine at all just bolted on the turbos added an intercooler and remapped the std ecu (piggyback I think).
