There is a turbo kit for sale here and it got me thinking . ( it includes a intercooler )
My rebuilt 2F is awesome but at 3000rpm on the highway it feels like it needs a bit of help . I just want to smooth out the engine at higher rpms.
If a setup like the one offered by Alpine will maintain my engine's performance in the low-end but add a bit in the high end ,then it could be just what it needs.
I raised CR in my 2F to 9,5:1 and that is the first issue ( I will have to go back to stock CR , but that is not a problem as I do have a spare head ) .
The longer cam ( Delta 250S ) in my 2F will probably suit the turbo and the spare head has hardened valve seats . I am looking for negatives here .
How much will a turbo affect the fuel consumption ?
A long turbo lag is just what I am looking for - so maybe I should consider this ?
Is the carb supplied reliable and as good as the Aisin in long run?
Can a turbo on a carbed engine not cause the engine to run lean easily and start to burn valves?
