Hey guys, recently started tinkering with the mightyboy again and the bugs bitten me to start trying to finish it off ( interior and finish hard cover ) so I can then take the f8b out and fit the g10a and turbo it....
My q is as this will be a long time away I'd like to start sourcing bits when I can but I don't really no what turbo/size for the g10a is best? Want half decent boost/power.
Also what efi should I be looking for? Reckon I'll go haltech computer to run it.
Thanks for any info,
Turbos.....
CT9 from a Starlet would be a good choice, ditto a Garrett GT15 or 17. You could even go for something as big as a T25 if you don't mind lots of lag laaaaag.
Unless you can source the EFI gear from a Pontiac Firefly T3 then you'll need a custom manifold. Alternatively you could look at throttle body injection on the standard manifold.

The only bolt-on multipoint EFI manifold comes from the US Pontiac Firefly, and they're quite rare. So yeah it is a bit trickier than an F8B turbo using an F6A manifold.
G10B Alto models had throttle body injection, which would be a viable option, and fine for a low boost setup. Probably wouldn't be too difficult to adapt the TBI from an old Falcon 6 banger either.

Yeah, 5-7 or thereabouts.

Nah, either build a pressure box around the standard carby and re-jet it, or get a Charade CB61 turbo carby).
