forgot to mention one thing, you probably don't have knock control and if you use a standard distributor with vacuum advance IT WILL DETONATE the pistons above 6PSI, I was able to get a vac advance /retard module for mine which worked a treat, the dodgy way is to lock your mechanical advance weights so it can't advance the timing with engine speed, that way it advances timing before boost and when it hits boost it will retard back to your original setting.

Another carby that works with boost is a Weber 34/34ADM, you got them off the old ford XF falcons. they have a boost enrichment circuit and a sealed float chamber which other carbys don't have, this is crucial for push through turbo.

 

damn completely forgot about the advance! thanks heaps for that. Got a mate who's trashing an XF might have a look at his carbie. 

Wow thanks for all the pics guys! Looks a lot more easy than I thought. I was going to make the whole intake side from sheet metal myself lol. Was going to keep the same carb and see how it would hold up with bigger jets.

Hmm I've got a set of twin carbies from the same ford engine that was in the ka/kB turbo but my carbs were for the high compression version of the engine not the turbo model. So the e5s not e5t. Maybe could mock up a conversion plate and bolt that up.

Honestly thanks so much from every response so far. Even the guys telling me not to do it thanks for taking the time to comment and share your thoughts. Just remember though guys, I've got an s14 that's my baby and meant for the hills. I'm not planing to spend much money at all on the lancer and as for time it would be spent having fun and hopefully posting some pics for you lads so it won't be wasted. If it don't work out its not a big deal at all

Ohh yeah and someone asked about an intercooler.... Probably won't be running one. If how ever everything works out I'll take the time to make some pipeing and run a little front mount for the cuteness

Ohhh should have probably posted the plan as well. So want to go top mount with custom extractors, thinking of running 1 1/2" intake pipe from turbo around outside of rocker cover then straight into a pressure box that sits on the carb. Might put a butterfly in this intake pipe before the carb just to settle pressure build up as won't be running a bov. Oil and water lines for turbo need to be sorted. Know where to get water not to sure on oil as of yet. Thinking of keeping stock exhaust, not to sure yet might make a full system and muffler just to save cash. Planing to run anywhere between 5-8 pounds. Should look cute as :3 haha

OHHHHHH i get it now, so its only for the diff, the rest of the well is the same thanks alot for that. Cleared up some thoughts I had.

Wow thanks heaps for all that info! That's really helpful.

Hey I've got one thing that's bugging me one of you lads might know about. I've read up on a few different forums and they all say if you want to do an awd conversion you have to get a new floor pan to accommodate for the drive shaft and rear diff, but when I look at my floor pan there's already an arch that runs from the front of the car to under the back seat. Is that normal for a GL model? Or did the latter gl models come out with the gsr floor pans? Sorry if I don't make sense just woke up lol
