whoa onejayzed what the? 18rg's never came as turbos to start with so I think the chances of finding a stock one are the same as rocking horse shit.

Also I imagine that he would like to stick with the 18rg because it means he doesn't have to stuff around with engine mounts or gearboxes! (as he already has it all sorted).

Depends how much you can get done on the cheap man (you've got a few contacts so prbly a fair bit Very Happy ). You'll need a manifold (say $200 or cheaper if you, or someone can make / weld it), turbo.. $500?, intercooler $300, piping....tuning (carbs urgh Confused )

Also with carbs you have to decide if you want a blow through or suck through setup....I'd look at converting the current motor to EFI (I think there have been threads on it b4, regarding using 22re ECU etc?), and then going turbo later?

If you could do it cheaply then in my opinion you could also do a 1G-GTE swap cheaply as well! All food for thought. Smile

Cheers
Wilbo
