Section on turbo and super chargers called Forced Induction.

Are you going to put a turbo on it? I saw on a magazine a guy that used the Turbo of the Volvo S40

Hey Rich,

I don't know if turbo is the same as supercharged?? Judson have very nice superchargers for the type 1. It increases the power for about 40/50% ALL THE WAY.

I believe the page is from th UK

hth Roger

See now - if its too expensive to fit a turbo , I will look at other options - scooby etc.

Rich

Hi Roger - The judson's are 'cult' expensive over here and like hens teeth to get hold of - a turbo should give 1 - 200% power increase plus.

Thanks

Rich

Good luck! You also have to start to save some money :)

Supercharged, are connected to the puller by a belt. Turbo uses the exhauster gases to rotate.

Check out this link. Off to the left is dyno infor and other stuff pertaining to a 1600 turbo setup that's a little over $2000.

I don?t want to be a stick on the mud, but if you want power you have to pay for it. I guess that if you want 100HP from a 1600DP in good shape (recently rebuild) you have to pay at least 3000 euros. You have to split the case to, bore it to

1835 or 1910. You have to buy new carbs, new cylinders news pistons new camshaft, new distributor, new manifolds, etc.

No prob ... thats the way it is with VW aircooled - I am looking for 200 HP though !!!!

If you look elsewhere you can get that off the shelf !

Rich

Yeah - did have a good read of his site, have read it years ago , just misslayed the link !

It still seems like an expensive option when you think about small block chevy's etc

Since I got the trans am V8, I think differently :-)
