Can you turbo a mpi mini

For example, differently-sized turbos are better in different parts of the RPM range, Hot Rod explains. But turbocharging an engine requires more than just picking the kind of turbo you want. As the turbos start spinning, they heat up, especially on the exhaust side, Haynes explains. This heats up the incoming air, making it less dense and oxygen-rich, which cuts into power output.

In addition, making more power requires not just more air, but extra fuel, too. An upgraded fuel pump may also be required. All the parts and modifications mentioned so far are about maximizing how efficiently your turbo works. But, while the turbocharger does add power, it can also damage or even destroy your engine if used improperly.

Plus, the added power can increase wear on your clutch. One simple way for a previously-turbocharged engine to make more power is to crank up the boost settings.

Another quick question whilst the thread is fresh, my MPi radiator fan has packed up recently. Stripped it down but couldn't get it to work. Are there any cheap options that will fit the MPi rad? Replacement MPi fans are rather overpriced. Also was thinking of upgrading the rad when installing a turbo. Do you guys have any front mounted radiators that you would recommend?

Cheers fiant cinquento and metro rads have been used a bit. BTW, the MPi rad is pretty good, why would you want to upgrade? Am I seeing this correctly in that their MPi kit is actually their throttle body injection adapted to the MPI manifold? So that makes it a wet manifold setup?

This looks pretty good! The 7 port stuff looks real tasty but I would have to do a lot of saving. Cheers for the link TurboDave. All this help much appreciated. Does anyone know of anybody that has used this kit before for a fi turbo engine?

I presume I can just take the air filter off and attach hoses to it to come from the intercooler. If this all goes well I shall seriously be considering some 7 port injecting. Here we go again, lol lets not forget the fact that Matt Woods has in the last year set up an injected wet manifold turbo pushing hp.

Certainly more hp than any of the port injected set ups in the last 5 years. I think it should be The seller is away until Nov 19, If you buy this item, expect a delay in shipping. People who viewed this item also viewed.
