hi everyone i'm new to the club, i've recently put a 5speed micra engine into my austin mini and was wondering if anyone has good info on turbo-ing this carb'd engine thanks alot!
The MA10ET (above) and MA09ERT engines both used fuel injection, so you'd have to convert the fuel system for a turbo. I can't imagine a carb turbo system would work all that well.
You'd probably need an ECU or some sort of computer in there with the turbo setup.
so wat i gather from turboing a carbd MA10 is that i'm better off upgrading the carb and manifold and dropping on probly a 4 2 1 header to see better gains!
the carb and manifold is really badly designed for peak hp and the exhaust manifold seems restrictive esp wit the cat. i noticed the inlet ports are at a strange angle before entering the chamber too!
