CF-UK has a very good article with photos on how to fit a 4 cylinder Vauxhall turbo, but why you would bother beats me.
Yes you are right. If one is going to the trouble of fitting a different motor/gearbox, then you may as well put your dream unit in.
A BMW 2.8 would be very nice!

Racking the old memory banks didn't TABU have a turbo on it?

[jimsvan]

[Jeff]

It's simple enough, but yes, a lot of work to fit a different motor and gearbox.

[jimsvan]

is it the same work as fitting a 350 chev engine in for example need to make new engine mounts of course need wiring and computer i spose

[ben]

i think you will find 350 chev has same engine mounts as holden 6..

fitting the chev in  is a fairly staight foward engine exchange, if your mechanicaly minded. The engine bolts to same mounts but you do have to use either the mount adapter of a hk holden chev to hq holden chev or after market adapter. rear crossmember has to be modified or made, same as tailshaft. The rest has to be cut or bashed for clearance, then rewire to suit. now call the engineers and be very calm as they will stress you to the max. and don't forget to change the exhaust, radiator and the lovly braking system to match your new horse power to match all in all, not a week end job, but worth while when its completed
