Turbo V8?

Sep 05, 2004 19 Replies

I have heard of conversions done to V8s to put turbos on them, does anyone know any supplier?


Janspeed used to do kits but I don't think they do any more - still pop up from time to time second hand.

Same for Turbotechnics.

a bit hens-toothy now to find a decent one. There was one on ebay not long ago.

I still have two janspeed ones, bearing shot on one and some bits of linkage and manifolding missing, may be enough to duplicate a full set from. never used it, inherited it from a mate emigrating. To my mind it defeats the object of having a big lazy engine.

It well may, but it also gives you a V8 TURBO !

Are you interested in selling?

Yeah, I was watching that as well, Austin. I seem to remember it went for more than it was worth though, like so many items on ebay! I missed out on a set of dcoe webber manifolds not long back also, as they went above what I was prepared to pay.

Sure, you can have them on sale or return if you pay the haulage, I'll dig them out and take a photo.

uh-oh. I forsee a high-speed Badger with a 3.9 turbo LR...

Can I have first shout on those, it was my thread after all!!

Where are you located?

Can you mail me some details on SimonSNJ **at** hotmail **dot** com

Will await photo. Am away South (Aylesbury) on business for 3 weeks as of this Saturday morning coming, so pickup may be an option depending on where you are?

3 weeks doing V8 rebuilds in Aylesbury? What happened? John Dennis got a job lot in or CD Bramall have managed to trash everything on their front lot?

P.

Hahaha, I wish! I'd much rather be doing V8 rebuilds than what I'm going to do. It's my "other" work that's sending me there, and I've got to go - something about potentially losing a lot of pension money if I don't!

The jpegs are still full sized so you will have to ask for them.

email address valid if you're not on a blacklist or any address on the sub domain should get here.

Getting an error message, bad gateway. Any clues? Badger.

works here, provided you reassemble it and put the /turbo.html bit on the end, otherwise I got a "forbidden".

DOH! Blonde moment, sorted now! Badger.

Nice thought, but no cigar! Try again. Actually going to somewhere close to Aylesbury where people are made to march about!! Badger.
