Cool Just Joined

Hi to everyone here at the owners club, ive just joined myself and I need a bit of help or should I say ive got a question that I need answering, so I hope there's someone out there that can help!
My question is this; I have at the moment an rb32 2litre non-turbo and I'm wanting to put a turbo onto it but I don't know if this can be done. So can I just put a turbo straight onto it or do I need to change anything? If there's anybody out there that know's how to go about this then could you please let me know, thanks Mick.

Hi and welcome

Firstly it can be done yes, but my simple question is why would you want to, surely it would have been easier and cheaper to have bought a R32 GTST?

As Far as I was aware you couldn't simply "slap a turbo" on due to the compression levels would be wrong?

Hi there Andy the reason I didnt buy a turbo'd one was because I got this one very cheap! And the reason I wanted to know if I could or not is because I'm in the process of modifying this one but not to worry coz as soon as this ones finished i'll just buy another one but this time i'll make sure I get a turbo'd one! Cheers mate Mick

Hi Mick

I am in Warrington but there are a couple of guys fairly close to you.

Rockabilly and Mr Y are in Chorley, Car32 is in Bamber Bridge, EddieW is also up near you, Lathom I think

Pete

Pics of car when I had first started on it....

Hi I just thought that I would put up a few pics of my 32 of when I had first started on it but then had a change of mind on the colour scheme and I've also decided to go pretty mad on the exterior mode now.
