I'm so sorry to offend you Triumph guys that like to keep it all original...
I respect you so much, but this is for the guys that don't mind changing stuff around... but all input is welcome.
How would a TR6 engine respond to boost?
I got a turbo (14b) off of a Cummins Diesel its fairly small and will spool quickly, I think it's the best choice to give the car some good performance gains. I also picked up a near mint conditon intercooler off a Mini Cooper S.
Upon input from you veterans, I was going to go see about getting a manifold built at a local exhaust shop (They made the turbo manifold for an Eclipse I had, great work)
But I'm not going to do it yet because I want some imput on it before I spend the money.
The car runs great, has a fresh re-build. I have a Kent cam and I plan on getting digital ignition. Most everything has been replaced at one point. Plus we have an extra TR6 for parts.
Anyway, I was curious if this has been done before...
or if I'm the only person that wants to run a little boost.
I'm keen on import cars with fuel injection. I'm a Mitsubishi 4g53 guru... the triumph engine is kindof a shot in the dark with me. Thats why I come here to ask for help.
Thanks again everyone....
I have pictures of the turbo if anyone is interested.
