wannabe calloway turbo kit?

[Michael Gough]

Ok, I'm in a state of mind to answer this now, sleep helps a bit. I have commented on your message.

> someone said they were fabricating a such kit for the JT engine
> using  parts from an early 5kt diesel turbo and such...
I am using a 5ktd exhaust manifold and turbocharger. It is a K24 with internal wastegate. Has 2 HUGE benefits-
1. It is a K24 so it spools up much faster than a K26.
2. The biggest, It has an internal wastegate.....You don't have to bend the tie rod or move the battery.

> how about and early 5kt gas turbo and manifold?

This will work great, In fact my buddy Matt on here is doing just that on his coupe. Just get the manifold, wastegate and turbo plus the downpipe unless you custom fab it.

The fuel system is good for 6, Javad says maybe even 8psi. I am going to be running 10 with a 6th injector. The Callaway kit ran 10 with a 6th injector, from what I've gathered, it had 180 hp without an intercooler.

I may be able to help you collecting parts, I've got a great junkyard around me with good prices, I helped Matt with the manifold and turbo cam.
I've attached an HTML file of my plan for you.
And finally, to anyone that says "Oh you're crazy, it can't be done." I will prove you dead wrong within a month. I am pulling the intake and exhaust manifolds today and I should be done with my conversion within a month.
Anything else? Just ask.
