Have alook at this excellent site:

www.best-guess.co.uk

It has all the answers for turbocharging a blade engine. Very nice/informative and helpful as well

Cheers

Mine cost me £250 quid!

Maybe i should write a ron style book!

If you have the fabrication skills to weld up a manifold and plenum you can do it on the cheap.

You need an IHI RHB5 from a diahatsu chirade or early fiat uno turbo.

Lower the comp using two genuine honda head gaskets (as holeshot do on most bikes). Make sure you pressurise the float bowls with a feed from the plenum, and use a malpassi rising rate fuel pressure regulator and you will sniffing on the doorstep of 200bhp!
