Hi guys. I am thinking to go single turbo. Has anyone done single turbo on TJ? What size and brend should i look for? How much cheaper to go single then twin? I am not very good with all that staff so even the basic coments are wellcome.
Thanks

There was a TH sports with single turbo.... see here...

hope this helps.

A TT setup is generally the better option. I wasn't too impressed with this single turbo install (after seeing it in the flesh)

lots of info here

125kw for a 3ltr, i thought stock 3.5 ltres were like 100 atw.

yeah dunno about that figure! must have had issues coz i've seen that thing dip right into the 12sec 1/4 mile! and its automatic!

Booya's was a good single turbo setup aswell

I honestly don't think it will be much cheaper at all. You might save a grand by being able to use the factory headers instead of getting custom manifolds made up, and a few hundred more because you won't need as many pieces of 90 degree bend in a single turbo setup.

I wouldn't do anything until you get rid of that auto gearbox though mate. To make an auto handle that much power would surely cost at least as much as a manual conversion, with alot less headaches.

Anything from a Garrett GT35 to a GT40 will be well suited to a single turbo setup on a magna.

When I enquired about a single turbo setup I was quoted $9k for all the custom piping, manifold, turbo, smaller side mount intercooler, injectors, fuel pump - the works. Pays to look around a bit and do your homework.

Thanks a lot guys.

Its actualy 112kw

it did say 3.5L too not 3L..
Say hello to 3.5-litres of turbocharged Mitsubishi muscle - a Magna to scare the hell out of Ford BA XR6 Turbo drivers

Got a feeling 125kw atw will not scare the hell out of a XR6T..:nuts:

I had 130kw atw stock and had no chance..:)

as long as uve got those massive noisy bov it'll scare em alrightlol......just lettin 'em know u hav a tc as well they might hav second thoughts on draggin ulol a stranger on the street would'nt know wat kw u produce its for u to know and them to find out:think:

By the time you do all that and then pay for ll the pieces you are going to continually break and other associated problems, it would work out much cheaper to buy a factory turbo car.

Magna's were not made to be turbo performance cars, they were made to be a sensible family car and it will punish you if you try to get away from that.

If you want a turbo car, buy a turbo car.

Wise words, but wasted. Most of the 100 threads a day never eventuate anyway.

I have an other option to actualy buy a turbocharge car and sell my curent car. I have to see what will be cheaper.

Hey mate,

First things first, your car is an auto, correct? If so, thats not really a good start...:doubt: You kinda need a manual...

Now, personally, I believe a single turbo is superior to twin turbo on a magna. Mainly due to space...Alot of people fitting RPW's twin turbo set up with the twin garret GT28RS seem to be having problems/issues with space, and have to modify the internal wastegate articulator to fit them properly, not to mention all that extra weight in piping...

With your magna, all you would need (for a basic and cheaper set up) is:

-Garret GT30R Turbo (Nice and responsive, good for smaller power applications)
-Walbro 255lt/h Bolt in fuel pump (you could prolbebly use your stock injectors for a while)
-All the appropriate lines and fittings (not to mention an oil cooler!!)
-Use your stock headers with a custom uppipe/down pipe set up (Dont forget to heat wrap, or you loose all that energy!!)
-Intercooler, Piping & BOV
-Haltek Interceptor

With this set up, boost to 7psi and you see a nice 200kw at the wheels, with HUGE amounts of torque...If you really wanted to go a bit more extreme you could do the following:

-Garret GT35/40R Turbo (look for a wrecked XR6 Turbo)
-Walbro 255lt/h Bolt in fuel pump with 550cc Injectors
-All the appropriate lines and fittings (not to mention an oil cooler!!)
-Use your stock headers with a custom uppipe/down pipe set up (Dont forget to heat wrap, or you loose all that energy!!)
-Intercooler, Piping & BOV
-Haltek E6X
-Weisco Forged Pistons (8.5:1 CR)
-Turbo Cams

Now, With this tipe of setup, it would be safer to run a bit more boost, and get alot more power. How does a SAFE 240/250kw ATW sound at only 10-12psi? Wind that up to 1bar (14.7psi) and you would be headbutting 280kw ATW...easy as. Not to mention responsive...

Enjoy!

What he said. I've done it in the past with an 85 TM. We did all the work including engine build up, wiring ems, etc ourselves. Still ended up costing more than I'd like to admit. The was fast, torque steered like crazy even at 180km/h, but I'd never do it again. FWD are never going to be quick with a turbo. After that I just bought a car with a turbo already on it. Went faster and was cheaper to do up.

I have an other option to actualy buy a turbocharge car and sell my curent car. I have to see what will be cheaper.



depending on wat car ur after tc aspirated. but with me comparing my ralliart to scooby petrol wise scooby is just a lil bit cheaper. rego wise well 4 vs 6 u know the answer:think:. insurance will be the same coz both will be turbo if u go to turbo conversion. all in all if u think ur passionate enuf to conversion just for modding sake then do so. if not then get a car which is already tc. specially u just become a father u dont need to spend a lot of dosh on conversion spend it on yer bubs futurelol:thumbsup:
