TURBO

[tor]

Hay guys.

I have decided i want to put a turbo into my car. I have a 323 Astina with a BP Engine at the moment, however it is not good. What would be the best rurbo to place into my car, and also, what would my pricing be. I am a newbie to the car world. So can you explain in resembly english language. I have a fair budget.

I am looking at a BPT. Sounds good but whats the go? How many Kw would i be recieving from this great sounding engine

Thanks for youe time

Oh ok, i have been searching all morning and unable to come up with any straight answrs. A website would be fantastic please.

Is it really worth dropping a BPT into my car? I'm having doubts about the performance i will get from the money i spend.

Of course the new engine will be near stock and mods made from there, but the inital reaction i need. please help

Thankyou, but i dont wish to be mean but i wanted to know what performance i would recieve from the conversion. Not how to do it. I appriciate the help and i may seem a little angry but i am also having major difficulties tracking a BPT motor down.

Any help on that would also be very helpful.

Thanks again

Sorry about this guys, but i am a newbie to the car game and im in way over my head at the moment.

I have a Mazda 1996 astina 323. Now there is a BP DOHC in there atm, however as you know i want the turbo. Does the BPT GT-R drop straight into it. Need help.

Thank you

ive heard around 185hp for the bpt and 230hp for the bpd standard

im sure someone will correct me here, but they will do for the time being

and im not sure about the later models, but for the dohc version of the bg astinas it is a simple fit

the bpt motor out of a gtx is around 134kWand a 1992 gtr is around 152kW

As for a seat of the pants feeling it is a 50% increase in power the wow factor is
good but not fantastic. The car becomes nippy but no weapon by any means.
Seeing you are leaving us in dark as to where in the world you are cant really
offer a comparison but is similar to say a VTIR Intergra. As for getting a GTR motor
have said this in many other posts the outlay for one over the GTX and the
reality of trying to get a low mileage one makes getting a GTX and adding the
goodies to it the better option.

I'm in Sydney, Australia. And thankyou for telling me the round about quickness. I'm now in two minds about the engine replacement and whether i should just buy a new car. Thank you again
