Hi lads,
does anyone know what is required to convert a kr 16valve to a turbo setup? Has anyone here done it before?

 

[corradoman]

its been done, but u might be better off getting a different engine, that comes standard with a turbo. it would be build heavier etc to take the turbos power

 

[kokodirl]

Does anyone here have a 1.8 20vt conversion done?

Yea theres a few alrite,have a look in the project car and member car section.

If i was to build a turbo mk2 ide go with a 16v!

I can pm a few builds for 16vt's if you like!?

As Paudie said the only time i'd build a turbo'd lump is a KR 16vt. Can easily be made to get 350bhp and a hell of a lot more savage than a similar powered 20vt.
Have a word with Matt Mcgowan who has the calypso mk2 16vt on here

Fixed

A member on here called Conor built a KR turbo too, there's threads in project cars and members cars, a white mk2. He used a turbo technics kit iirc.

There's a good few mk2 20vts in progress and finished.

20vt is the best option in my opinion.

 

[rg16vt]

read s2 internals have been used
there are kits available, few from germany but are mega expensive
look on ebay

 

[MannixLacey]

I'd love to get a spin in a 16vt, I'd imagine 20vt is the more sensible of the two not very sensible at all options!!

cheers,, i'm lookin ideally to keeping the original engine in it btw and turbo charging it..would 3-4k buy all d parts needed and pay for someone to fit them? Its a Corrado btw
