1997 Proton M21

[shale]

Hi

(bear with me please, im not very engine literate)

I own a 1997 Proton M21 Coupe. :)

I'd like to turbocharge it. It apparently has the same engine as the Satria (4g93P)
I've been told that the GSR Lancer engine is almost the same, which would mean i could buy second hand GSR parts and install them on my M21 without too much difficulty. (second hand parts would be all i could afford :P ) I already have a turbo, i would just need to know what else i would need to buy and install so that my engine doesnt blow up the first time i turn the key :D

I would really appreciate some help, as i said before im not very engine wise so if you could help me that would be awse! cheers :lol:

you have to lower the compression, get a turbo manifold that fits your turbine, maybe some engine management. intercooler. piping. what else?

You can derive the turbo bits from a 4G93T GSR, but you need to run a very low boost application. This preserves the engine. Better bet would be a whole transplant. Saves the hassle.

If you do choose the bolt-on option, strengthen the internals! :)

actually shale,

you should have a look at http://www.rpw.com.au. They are an experienced and reputable tuner for Mitsu-based engines including Proton, based in Australia.

M21 is the codename for the Putra. M24 for the Satria.
