Going to boost a g180 huh? Good luck to ya! Are you going to get a computer from something else? Are you going to beef up the 180 or just push boost in till the inside of the motor becomes the outside? From what I can discover the 2.0 that was made to be boosted still doesn't like it all that much so I can only imagine how angry a 180 would get! Also the 2.0 turbos for the parts are getting REALLY hard to find but I guess the later troopers came boosted also so maybe that would be a way to go.
since the compression ratio in a g180 is 8.5:1. 8 pounds of boost wont hurt much XD i figure if i go a step farther and throw a G200 head on it i will get the bigger valves AND an even lower compression ratio and be pretty much safe to run 10 psi without any damage
and im thinking either a modified TBI swap with a megasquirt ECU,
OR... the better option. a self made multi point fuel injection manifold. i have a friend that has the intake, throttle body, sensors, injectors, fuel rail, harness etc... off of a civic that was running like 18 psi boost he is trying to sell me for $50... ditch the manifold and adapt the parts (injectors, TB, sensors, custom rail, new fuel pump etc... to one i make to fit the g180 and all i need is a megasquirt some programming and a turbo manifold. which im gonna end up having to make also. good thing i can weld
gemracing from australia is running a g180 at 600hp in a drag Gemini
http://gemracing.webs.com/currentcarspecs.htmso i figure pushing 150-225 isnt out of the question with a stock bottom end, a lightly ported head, cam, BOOST, fuel injection and electronic ignition. with the needed mods to keep it reliable.
its gonna be an adventure for sure lol. but hopefully i will have something one of a kind when im done. not a lot of people turbo the g180 or even keep it once performance comes into mind. and since i have a 4x4 my options for simple swaps are pretty much 0. i would LIKE to have my truck show worthy one of these days so something one off and custom will be the way to go!
