can
u can bolt on a turbine to it
but u must consider many things by bolt on a turbine to a NA engine
it may coz over heat,etc

guys, can i upgrade a FTO V6 Mivec into a turbo charged beast?

sure can dude. like GSR mentioned, got many things 2 think about.... i'm not sure if there r ready-made turbo-kits specially made for the FTO but if there r then if u buy those (they're gonna b damn expensive i bet) they should include everything u need (turbine, wastegate, intercooler,gasket, piping, hoses, clamps, etc etc) 2 b boosting ur mivec engine man...

ALTERNATIVELY u could also custom-make a turbokit... what turbo u choose also depends what ur looking for... u looking for pick-up (low and mid-end power) or hardcore top speed (mid to high-end power)... i guess for pick-up u could probably use the stock evo turbos (td05 or tdo6) or the stock SR20 silvia turbos... those should give satisfactory pick-up while you'd probably b looking at HKS GT-series bb turbos and the other big mama turbos for strong top-end power. since ur engine's NA, it was designed 2 run NA, so if ur turbo is very big n 'powderful' then u probably gotta re-work ur block 2 forged pistons + conrods (if got stroker kit for ur engine then put that in too!!). You'll need 2 external wastegate the turbo and maybe add a blow-off valve up 2 u la. your engine management (stock ECU) most likely have 2 add a piggyback 2 control ur Air/Fuel Ratio (like APEXi SAFC2 or e-manage etc) or if u can afford it, a full standalone ECU like microtech / haltech / motec bla bla bla. then slightly larger diameter ekzos piping and downpipe upgrade (2.5 inch or 3-inch), then fit the intercooler and necessary pipings/hoses then ur ready 2 rock n roll dude!

quite a lot of things may need 2 b fabricated like ekzos manifold banana so u can fit the turbo... truthfully i'm not so sure what ready-made aftermarket stuff's available for the mitsu FTO... shit i talk 2 much, but at least i hope this helps man... plenty of ppl tell me FTO's power sucks, well Rons here's ur chance 2 prove 'em wrong bro. rip it up!

OH YEA dude, my recommendation is u put in a REALLY BIG turbo... honestly, all the stuff u gotta do 2 bolt on a turbo on an NA engine costs quite a lot, so in my opinion not really worth it 2 put in small turbos like td04 and td05... personally i recommend HKS T51R or gReddy T88 or the larger Holset turbos..... if u can get those kinds of turbo in and have them running safely on ur engine, i GUARANTEE no other FTOs can even get close enough 2 even smell ur smoke dude... actually you'll probably murder most other cars on the road hehehe! the turbo will pull so god damn hard u won't even know what mivec is anymore hehehehe!

P/S: good idea 2 upgrade ur brakes too hehe!

hehe damn rite dude!

 

[squall_leonheart]

you `d better do engine transplant,easier and more powerfull

fto=mivec V6 6A12

eterna twin turbo 6A12TT cannot the gear box is in wrong side

2.5l 6a13TT is ok
evo4,5,6 4g63 is ok

and yes a turbo kit for fto will cost a bomb,further more high petrol price,go for big cc na laaaa,balik kampung top speed all the way,traffic jammed also no worry,thehehehe

 

[Rons]

oo..that sounds like a lot of work and money going on...but can i fit in a FTO engine into a waja 1.6..meaning that can i pass JPJ??..or any of u guys can intro good mivec engines that can be pass by JPJ??

 

[chelnick]

wait... if the fto mivec 6A12 same engine code with eternaTT...is the engine design the same? gearbox different location nvm... as long as the others can fit... i don't see a problem

If it is maybe you can just get a eterna TT turbokit + manifold + intercooler + pipes+ oilsump..

and add on a piggyback i don't see why shouldn't it work...

its basicly a bolt on process... you'll be needing something to control your timing and fueling so a piggyback is your best choice...

give it a try.... cheers

yea on 2nd thought, ur better off dumping in a 4G63 evo engine dude, then souping that up maximum :)

Take in Australia for example, there are some turbocharged FTO's.. I had the website for the Australian FTO owners... not on me. Gotta look for it somewhere..
