Re: Turbo j38 engine
Is that the mustang turbo, or svo turbo? I had a DSM for a while super fun car in winter and not too bad in summer until the trans blew up, the manual trans. Bought it and put a new turbo and head on it, ran great then. Of course they are mitsubishi.

Re: Turbo j38 engine
Sweet, almost forgot the XR4 and Tbird also used them. That 2.3 was the biggest dog on the planet without a turbo I know that. It would pull anything though and great mpg, family had a ranger stock 2.3, I had a V6 for a while. V6 faster but didn't pull any better. Man I ran the wheels off that truck I think it had over 300K on it when I got rid of it, nothing untouched I put radius arm bushings on it once lol, front axle redone twice, trans, clutches, you name it, lifted with S10 leaves in back and new coils in front so it was like an STX. A friend did that before I got it from him. Drove it to work 25+ miles each way on the expressway in 4wd all the way if snow on road, sometimes there was for over a month straight. It got me there for many years. Supposed to get a new ranger here in US soon, not sure why they gave up that market.

Re: Turbo j38 engine
Last winter when it snowed, I went to work and saw this.. It's a blast to drive in the snow in 4wd. Around 220hp. Dry in 2wd will spin 2nd on a roll or 3rd wet. haha. Yea, when it was N/A it was a dog.

Re: Turbo j38 engine
Well to answer your question, no. To be done correctly you would have to first convert to megasquirt efi and ignition, after that convert to a secondary electric oil system to keep the turbo cool and also to cool the engine since it's currently air cooled, and power levels inside the air cooling only I don't think would that much more. After that tuneing.
If you don't want efi and all that, supercharged with blow or draw through carb is your way to go, would probably need a secondary oil system for cooling. Could run a smog pump on the starter generator belt with a added idler. |

Re: Turbo j38 engine
There are a couple turbo road bikes, if you could find one that would make a nice cart motor lol.

Re: Turbo j38 engine
50 hp is already too much, a turbo road bike will be over 100, use the turbo, skip the engine
