Turbine Scania 1113.jpg

Hey /o/.

I bought a old Chevette for really, really cheap. Just for fun. I want to make a really(REALLY) cheap drift car.

How fucked i am if a install a Scania turbine into it's engine. It's a 4cyl 1.8L Ethanol. I already did some modifications on the engine head. (More air intake to be precise). But pistons, camshaft, crank and everything is stock.

Thanks.

People have been putting v8s in these for decades and drag racing them.

Why would you want to do that? I4s are very capable. Look into what you can do with the stock engine first. If it doesn't have a lot of options, then consider swapping in another I4 from something newer with similar dimensions and lots of performance options (like from a civic or corolla etc.), it might even bolt up with minor modification.

Trust me, swapping in something obnoxious like a V8 into a car like that is more trouble than it's worth, and you won't get the results you want either (you'll have a lot of trouble getting the power to the ground with a huge engine in a small car without doing something even more ridiculous like tubbing it).

Considering you have to ask this question? You're fucked.

Turbocharging ancient engines is not for newbies.

Is the engine efi, mfi or carb?
Mfi would be the easiest way to Boost a noboost car. Efi is not bad but carbs can also be used. Read a book op.

Because Aussies love (or used to) Gemenis (basically the same thing) if its got the Isuzu motor you are safe.

Just get something like related

What you want is nitrous, OP

On their own
Turbo > Nitrous
Nitrous is useful for spooling up a fuckhuge turbo on a drag car though.
