mgb turbo engine swap

[TheSlikRix]

was the swap fairly easy? my neighbor wants to swap too and i suggested the same engine, is there anything u can let me know about it before we do it that might be useful??

[marvzman]

was it that hard to do ?

[grk5555]

I didn't know Tank Abbott drove an MGB!!!

[rs200000000000]

i want to do this same swap is it a hard one ??

[fatasdat]

Ca18det in that would FLY!!!

[ITELADZ]

Buy a BOV before you chip a blade!

[footose]

You need to quickly put a DV or BOV on your car before you blow that turbo with compressor surge.

Otherwise, looks good.

[MrBoykin0]

agreed, that noise isnt as cool as it sounds... surge is never good.

might wanna get that handled! hahah

but nice car and good video!

i have a mgb gt and would like to do the sr20det swap but havent seen it..how well does the trans fit and what driveshaft did you use?

[Pietervdv]

Did you do anything with the suspension? Because that sucked with the original.

[dismith]

The original suspension at the proper ride height is not so bad for a car designed so long ago. Of course seriously outdated these days.

[Pietervdv]

Agreed, the ride height is key. The chrome bumper models were at the right height. There are also suspension upgrades available on the market, that might add a little extra enjoyment of the car. Nice job though.

that sound that u were saying u love is called compression surge thats bad for the turbo u need a wastegate and a bov

[ditchgrabber]

it's just been put on, nice ear.

[drewce123]

np lol oh and nice swap

[3dluke]

it will have a wastegate, else it would spool forever. it just needs a BOV.

[XDRobinsonX]

why would you need a wastegate? the started turbo already has an internal wastegate.
