RobMk6 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 right then, i've got an xr2i which im basically chopping up 2 use as a mental light weight buggy, what i want to do is bold a turbo on it, basically just for as a "gimmick" as this thing aint exactly gonna be serious, what i want to know is...... will the XR2i management, work having it there? if not, what "cheap" things could i do just for it to run? i'll only be running about 5ish PSi, if that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 It'll run, but one it comes on boost it'll go super lean and misfire (or melt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 it'll still work, it won't have a clue that theres a turbo there though, you could bodge around it by having a 5th injector on a pressure switch if its just to bodge to add more fuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMk6 Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 if it melts, it melts, i'll just whack in another engine, i just wanted to know if it would actually run, most prob wont be even be 5 psi lol, wont reeli need it as it'll weigh next to nothing, wouldn't mind having the time to make it RWD, but i really cant be bothered lol..... only doing this as im bored and on recall from the forces....... tell me more about this 5th injector idea..... where could one obtain a crude pressure switch that would work on boost? id surely need a way of making the injector pluse? or would it just stay full open when it gets a current? oh and excuse the spelling mistakes in the very top but i had to write it in a hurry and didn't read it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 yeah you'd need a driver for the injector, look on ebay for the bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
