Hi guys,
Have been looking through and cannot seem to see a 1200 s/port build thread is there one hear? I am wanting to do a low budget build on my ghia and want to keep the engine as is but just add the turbo. So looking for ideas. Thanks heaps guys.

It's a d/p but same displacement.

I think you might find, Clonebug's blow through thread will be more helpful. Hey Aussiesmuggler, I'm in Sydney. Dunno what state you're in but I almost did the same with a 1300SP. In the end, I decided to go 1600TP. A blow through setup will be easiest, probably using the stock carb, or a 34PICT. Clonebug did this on his car.

None of it is rocket surgery, but your big challenge will be finding a turbo small enough. I'd be looking at something off a 2litre diesel, JDM Kei car or similar. Even the tiny Subaru turbo I'm using will be too big for the 1200. Expect a maximum of around 100hp I'd say.

Thanks Bud,
Im in Shepparton country Vic. Thanks for the input Ill start reading some more.

Got some good mates in Shep. Nice spot.

Jim Gow? Steve? Don Kendell?

Actually, Todd and Laurel Hall. Apple farmers.

ha ha dont know them.

What are your HP goals for the 1200? When you want to make boost and how much boost can make a major difference in the correct turbo to meet your goals. I ran a TD04 12T from a Kubota diesel in my 1776 off road buggy and I could be at full boost (8lbs) by 3500 RPM in 1st gear when under load, was a blast off road but would be very annoying in a street car with the same displacement.
Good Luck
