just want to know if it is possible to turbo a 92 TR magna with a turbo and what sort of boost i could get withought modify the engine internals to much

it is possible to turbocharge any internal combustion engine in the world it just takes time and money.

And im not sure what boost it could take but the engine wouldnt last very long at all with fairly weak parts and a high compression ratio for turbo.

5-6psi the most really.. Your engines a bit old now so it wont be as strong as it was new.. If youre gonna turbo best thing to do is do a rebuild and strengthen your engine and lower compression.

Cant remember if yours is 4 or 6 cyl bomfunk?

4cyl turbos have been done before and proven to be a VERY effective power upgrade.

I havent heard of any sohc 12v 6g72 turboed motors.

well she had the top half of the engine rebuilt in 2001

Killbilly yer shes a 4cyc

Turbo the bejeebus out of it then! mwuhahah! :badgrin:

does anyone know how to do this or if someone has a kit available or what?
i also have a 4cy tr manual that is begging for a cheap turbo setup :)

mmm okay im starting to realy think serious about doing turbo how much performance would a small boost give me is it worth get it

Check out the fast magna website, there is some dude with a TR 4 pot with a turbo hanging off it, it's in the gallery

short and sweet
sigma had astron motor
Tr had astron motor
there was a turbo sigma
buy turbo and turbo charge the motherf*cka
should be easy to get turbo and manifold and other shit if required

aparently sigma turbo gear is pretty hard to come across - i might call some wreckers.. BUT what about the ecu and fuel injection and that.. would it have to be modified?

pretty sure the turbo sigma was carby! eiwwwww!!!
but you should be able to use the manifold from the motor to the turbo then custom from there, i think (depending on availability) it should be pretty cheap upgrade! as long as you only run about 3psi so it's still reliable!?@!

My mate turbod his 4cyl TS pretty easily it fas fuel injected... Just ran a sigma turbo exhaust housing and then plumbed up the pipes from the air filter to the turbo and then back and into the inlet manifold.... he added an extra rail of injectors...
He sold the car and took it all off.... The complete until includeing exhaust is sitting in his garage.

I'll tell wgnboy about that 2morrow, get the gears in his head ticking over again. Hydn, is your mate willing to sell the kit, a price wouldn't go astray

I asked him the other day when he was helping me with my shokkies...
His responce was... "well you know you cannot get the stuff... and I dont want to just "give" it away...."
And I said "SO!!!!! How FRIGGIN MUCH DUFUSS!!!!?"
And Im still waiting :D

Ill check again tommorow with him.
He has a complete setup for a TR/TS except computer... (I have it :D )

Turbo setup for TR/TS for sale....

back before mitsu bought out the chrysler plant they were going to supply the coppas with turbo sigmas. They gave them a couple to test out and they were running like 30psi boost! but they had had overheating probs like the bonnet melting!!
don't know how true that all is just some thing i read somewhere on the net

They actuall supplied about 10 to the NSW police... as H'Wy Pursuit Cars.
They were White and Black.
Only 500 Turbo Sigmas were made..
Each origional one as the number stamped on the Drivers side strut.
The Vin and Engin numbers have a X in them to show that it was a turbo.
The turbos where all 2l.
I have owned 3 and wrecked 3 :D of the 500 my friend (the one witht the kit) has owned 5.
The last one I owned We put a TN Magna Motor in ita nd turboed it... turning it into a 2.4l Turbo. The bigest prob was getting the Sigma inlet Manifold to bolt to the Magna heads... Then makeing up a sump with oil pick and return lines from the Turbo.
After I crashed it I pulled the motor out and Stuck it in the 2 Door GD Galant I have in the garage... Shanged it to a 5 speed and changed the Diff to a Scorpion one.
Ahhhhhhh the memories :)

Sounds like you've had some fun with Mitsubishi's then Haydn. I remember my auntie had a sigma back in the old days...

There was a turbo sigma come out but they were very rare but i have one across the road from me.. HE HE. Turbo the magna sounds good but very pricey

[QUOTE=WGNBOY]pretty sure the turbo sigma was carby! eiwwwww!!!
And yes they are carby. Go hard but **** looking are the sigmas

Might even be an idea to have a look at some of the 1st Gen Turbos going around for an idea of what you might need to do, i know when i did mine i needed a custom manifold to be made, (i hear the sigma ones wont fit) and the cooling fan had to be moved for intercooler placement.

More info, PM me.

this thread is 2 years old?!

Interesting topic tho, RPW do it for around 8grand making a 4cylinder 2.6 into 14second material
BUT traction hahaha
