Guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi Guys, Would anyone have tried turbo charging the 505 2.2 'Douvrin' engine,my 91 wagon is slow going up hills,I think as you had access to factory turbo version its not likely,but just asking.

Bean Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi Salman - welcome to the forum... As for turbo on a Douvrin - you'd have to look on www.aussiefrogs.com to see what the guys on there have done. I know a few have done it, and the same engine in the Renault has seen substantial power increases, it's just gonna cost you. A cheaper option would be to make sure your car is tip top running wise, and then maybe look at a freer flowing exhaust, intake system, and maybe an ignition system like a MSD 6A or something. If the engine is optimised you should see a good 10 - 15 HP, and it should even get better fuel economy. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V-M Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Here in Finland at least one is done over 10years ago with 250hp and over 450Nm torq. I don't know if car exists but I know builder. But if you have BA7 gearbox it will not take that torque what turbo gives. V-M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
