Re: how hard would it be to turbo charge a 242? 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Alex on  Sun Dec 16 17:16 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Actually the only real engine differences were valves (sodium filled), camshaft (less aggressive), and pistons (lower CR)... well this is between turbo and na motors of the same family (i.e. B21F v B21FT, B230F v B230FT). The B23FT is of course a departure from the norm.

For the LH-Jet powered ones, the ECU was probably mapped a bit differently, for the K-Jet ones (B21FT), a few tricks were employed to adapt 6cyl bits for the extra flow.
