Did someone ever mount a turbo on a plain 2.0 engine?

You might say, there's the regular turbo version available, so why bother. In fact the prices for 924 turbos are exploding in Germany and I really don't care about originality. Before swapping the engine for something really wild (and probably Asian), I'd like to know if there are any experiences in this forum for this idea.

I'm not in a hurry, there are so many things I need to sort on my 924, before I really start the hunt for some extra horses. But putting a turbo on it should be a quite affordable way to get some more power out of the van engine.

Proper suggestions, ideas and experiences are very welcome.

There used to be a turbo kit from BAE but they went out a long time ago. I beleive Raceboy turboed a N/A. Several people have supercharged N/A cars.

I have always wondered if it was possible to use the old Ford / Mercur Thunder chicken turbo on our cars?

Raceboy's conversion from NA to Turbo is probably the most successful (and powerful

)

Just use a modern turbo and an intercooler = 951 whuppin' time.

I prefer German engineering to Asian

It was one stock 931 S1 - 1980 for sale here in Poland for about 4000-5000 Euros. Is the same price in Germany?

Weasel:
Love this thread.
Good inspiration.

McGyver:
Depends on how fit it is.
If it's a good car, the price is pretty good.
We're going up to more than 10K for good turbos.

But actually I wouldn't spend that much money for a donor.

The body of my car is very sound and I wanna keep it.

So just in case

I can sell my 931 in DE

I live quite close (40km from Gorlitz) but mine car was rebuilded and engine has just 2500km

so any price above 5000 Euro for it that will be something

read ideolas perfomance mods post, that will answer your questions...
yes it can be done, you can stick a turbo on anything... but most people change to efi as well and deal with cooling system mods, oil cooling, clutch pressures, driveline limitations and fueling/ignition mods...
just common sense stuff like making sure the engine can cope (high milage stuff)

biggest issue is turbo location in dealing with cis or starter locations on the N/A...

Here is a pic of my 1980 Euro 924 that is getting a turbo via BAE manifold. I have added two 550cc injectors that I plan to use for fuel enrichment.
