323 sp turbo conversion

b-ron88 · 30-09-2012, 10:24 PM

Hey guys,

i've been wanting to get my 323bg upgraded to a turbo for some time now, i've read most of you recommend a front half cut so i was wondering what you all thought of this. is it too expensive? would this be all i need for a full conversion?

any advice would be great

looks to me it's missing the crappy stock intercooler... no big deal as many would opt for a better custom fitted intercooler.. that aside, it looks like it'll have everything you need, save for an uprated fuel pump

$3300 is on the pricy side though for something this old... that's my opinion based on what's acceptable value in the US... I don't know about oz, so others will have to chime in

It's on the expensive side, but you can sell the gearbox for decent money to get some $$ back.

have a look on ford laser.com mate.. there is all ways a mtor for sale there..

and to put it into ur car all u need is the motor and the bpt ecu.. thats it.. just splice the 5 wire tps wires and it will run just great

Yeah a bit pricey man considerig I got my new bpt with ecu, injectors, intake for $500. Also if u ever need a hand give me a hoy cuz I've already got a BP turbo in my bg which is getting taken out and replaced with a bpt

ps I also have a few spares

what about this for a deal! .A whole TX3 4WD .
It has wheels (good for loading onto transport truck to you)....and you could sell the 4WD gearbox for good money...actually i may be able to even line you up with a Sydney buyer for it!.
