[metruis02]

i got this 1988 mazda b2200 nd i really want to find a turbo kit for. if they make one for it please tell me wut i will need to do to make it work........?

Id reccomend build your own kit, Ive worked on those before and there is a decent amount of room under the hood, with minor fab skills and a decent knowledge on turbos you could make it work.

same as the ford 2.2 aint it?

shit.... go all out and slap in a 13b from a Rx7 and boost like crazy!!!

They don't make turbos for specific cars. Companies make turbo KITS for cars, bu that just caters to the lazy crowd that's willing to pay, rather than learn how to assemble their own kit. It's very unlikely that you'll find a premade kit for an old pickup truck. Research, and build your own kit. You'll be better off in the end.

I don't think the original B2200 engine would be a very good motor to boost. I have numerous friends that have had these trucks and they've all had issues with the bottom end. And that's without boost being thrown into the mix. A turbo would just add problems into the mix. Just my 2 cents.

It's a Ranger. I've been told that the turbo Volvo 740/940 engine will drop right in.

i thought the 88 was a carb'd motor.... so that would require a blow-thru carb... not to mention fuel managment... how are you going to compinsate that? the key to any boosted engine is proper fuel managment... if not blow up time lol...

seriously pickup a 13b from a 86-91 rx7, can buy them cheap all day long because ppl think the engines are "blown" but in all actuallity the apex seals in the motor are shot.... it only costs $300 to rebuild these motors... all you would then need is a Turbo II wiring harness, and a Turbo II throttle body... upgrade some injectors and walla....

lastly.... the B2200 engines are getting scarse and harder to find these days

[deevergote]

Ah yes, I bet the 88 is carb'd... I'm not all that knowledgeable about those... old trucks are low on my radar.

The 13b would require some custom mounting as well. RWD is considerably easier to work with when it comes to weird swaps, but it'd still require welding.



And yeah, rebuilding a rotary is pretty easy. There are even how-tos floating around the internet. I wanted to pick one up just to play with it. Those things fascinate me.

believe it or not the driver side mounts right up to stock location.... the passanger side needs a lil modification but nothing to major....

they know a ton more then persay us honda folks

[deevergote]

Hey, we know our Hondas! Well... some of us do...


Interesting... With the driver side mount in the stock position, the driveshaft angle works? I flipped through a few links, but didn't read too carefully... If that's so, that would be my biggest concern eliminated. I'm always afraid of doing a creative swap, only to snap the driveshaft due to a bad angle.
