blakamin Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I'm not wanting shitloads of boost or nufin... just wanna be different.. Can't be too many around. I know a bit about blowers and NoS but new to turbs. What do I need to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thminiman Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 youll be sweet man, fucken bacng it on there, if it goes bang, then you cant do it, if doesnt, then big ups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Whats the compression ratio? how goods the bottom end? Carbs and turbos can work but i wouldnt want to go there. You'd really want to go efi to make sure you have good fueling, so custom intake and exhaust manifolds, then all the usuals intercooler, fuel pump and lines etc. theres alot more to it but cant say I know your motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakamin Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 thminiman: lolz... that was about my plan... but then I started reading turbo stuff... bottom end happy (7 mains), Compression about 9:1... If I was gunna go FI, it would be the bosch merc mechanical injection so it probably wont happen engine is a 2.5 litre, alloy head OHC job The Mercedes-Benz M114 engine is a six cylinder Otto cycle engine with dual two barrel Zenith 35/40 INAT carburetors. The engine displaced 152.4 cu. in. (2496cm3). The engine develops 146 SAE HP, a maximum speed of 6300RPM all with a 9:1 compression ratio.

durty Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 hook a leafblower up to intake pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 you could easy run say 7psi even more with decent efi on 9:1, high comp turbo setups go real well if tuned right. what are the rods and pistons like any pics on the net? I'd say with injection It would run mint aye for awhile anyway how many kms she got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 would want a freshen up (new rings/bearings) at least to make it reliable. then low boost, would be sweet for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 run like 4psi, be sweet.One thing about staying carb is ya dont need all the high pressure fuel pump setup etc blah blah.Just rejet carb and bang....prob will go bang.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakamin Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 My plan is for new rings and bearings, I wouldn't turbs her without them. she has been rebuilt at some stage but she's now showin 190k on the odo... means shit tho as the engines were designed for at least 400k before a rebuild anyway. Will see if i can find pics of some innards... Pistons are flat top. engine is non-xflow. 3! compression rings then an oil ring... It's a mercedes benz M114 engine . I've got pics in my workshop manual, but they're no good here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakamin Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 sweet as, durty Now for the TECH bit, people!!! (except Spencer, who is not spammmin ) What size turbs? any info on plumbing a NA engine anywhere? If I wanted all out, I'd just go a V8 conversion, but like I says, I don't want to do 7 sec quarters, just want the old bitch to be a bit different (and with a little more "kick") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nismo.capri Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I got 2 standard turbs from a VG30-DETT (300zx) for $400 if you want them garret T2's I think.... Should be about right. With 9.1:1 CR you really want to run an intercooler. If you don't want the look of an air air intercooler run a custom water air intercooler or one off a subbie. Carb or 2 from a supercharged or turbo Lancia as they are designed for blow through from the factory... could be a tuff ask. Plumbing and you're done......... plus all the million other little things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84_S12 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 T2 doesn't really have enough puff for an inty (Or much more than about 10psi lol) Personally, I'd prefer to use a larger unit running low pressure at good low temps, instead of having a little t2 whistling away puffing hot air into your engine... That's what will cause detonation + kill your motah Or use Durty's idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draizuh Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 all ill say is ask leon. him = the man on carb turbos. you would probably need a single carb too dont think twins would work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
