Turbo my truck?

[suzuki_truck]

how hard would it be?

what would i need to do?

its a 1 ltr 5 speed, maybe a charade turbo and manifold?

[Brayden]

Charade is 3 cylinder, F10A is 4 cylinder, so that won't work. Problem with the F10A is that is uses a side-draught carby, so you'd need to do a draw-through setup.

how hard would it be??
what would be the easiest way of going about it?
will my motor handle it?

[suzuki_truck]

what about a small supercharger?? i was thinkin about one off a 4agze?

[Brayden]

4AGZE charger would be slightly too big, plus it doesn't solve the problem of the carby not being designed to take positive pressure.

The simplist solution would be a draw-through turbo setup. The turbo from a 1L charade would be perfect for that application.

and they have a draw through carby set up?

What carb would i need for an sc12 ?

[Brayden]

No, the Charade has a blow-through design, but you couldn't use that carby because it is a downdraught, and your motor will only accept a side draught as I mentioned. I was only suggesting that you use the turbo from a 1L Charade, nothing more. You will need a custom exhaust manifold to fit it.

What is an SC12?

[Gladier]

The SC12 is a roots type supercharger

What is an SC12?

sc12 is off a 4agze..

so i need a side draught carby, and a turbo and a custom manifold??

expected cost?

[Brayden]

~$200 for the turbo, probably around the same for a side-draught weber. (DCOE or similar). ~$400 or so for a custom manifold and dump pipe.

Then you'll need to regraph the distributor, run oil lines for the turbo and tap a return into the sump.

as its as easy as banging it all together then?

[Brayden]

Ha! If only! I'm still pissfarting around with my carby turbo setup trying to get it to run correctly.

[suzuki_truck]

i sontt suppose you want to sell it all then?

[Brayden]

Being a 3 cylinder engine none of it would be of any use to you.

[suzuki_truck]

i was talking about the whole motor!
