Anyone got turbo kit for 4ac?

[shane10117]

I need a turbo kit for my 4ac!

No one tell me to swap to a 4age, not interested.

I am in adelaide.

How much?

What are you planning to do for fuel? Carbs are a pain to set up with a turbo, so you'd either need a turbo suitable for a suck through setup, or mess around with maintaining the pressure difference for a blow through setup. On top of that the internals aren't going to be as strong as a certain other 4A engine, so you'll be limited to the power you can make safely. Wiki says the standard engine is 58kw, so even if you're putting out 70% more power thats gonna be less than a stock smallport.
Is it really worth it?

No, hang on - none.

The only reason to stick with the 4a-c would be for class racing. For every other purpose, the other 4a will be better.

Straight off, the base "other" 4a will probably be better than your 4a-c turbo, then if you want to turbo that 4a there's a million people who have done it well.

Sure, do it if you just desperately want to be different, but don't kid yourself into thinking it'll be cheap power, 'cause the 4a engine swap would be cheaper and better

I think you posted this in the wrong section.

Try the "Parts Wanted" section - but don't expect anyone to ever have a 4AC turbo kit for sale.
