You can force induct any petrol engine on the planet (within reason), it'll produce more power but won't last as long as one designed to be turbo'd from the start. If you were to turbo a normal 16V and run the turbo at say 3psi you'd gain plenty of torque and around 20 brake with little risk of damage. Remember if he just wants to turbo it thats simple, but if he wants to build an engine identical to a T16 engine out of a NA16 engine thats when it gets tricky Matt > > "John Griffin" <johnnopsamfinphoto.u-net.com> wrote in message > news:B636AFD2.40C0%johnnopsamfinphoto.u-net.com... > > I have a tired 900 T16 (1985) I can get hold of a late unblown 16v car for > > much less than a T16S.
