Hi from London, UK - building a Speeduino 8V Turbo 1275
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi,

When I was about to finish the refurb of my Mark IV, with a Speeduino 5 port setup, I managed to put the engine bay on fire testing injector sequential timing. In an attempt to be a stoic, I was grateful I survived and decided it was the world conspiring for something better.
I worked for 8 years at Ford on combustion development (mainly with flex fuel engines) and every time I looked at a 5 port head and its siamese trade-offs I piece of me died. So I decdided that instead of procuring an MPI harness, injectors etc after my fire I might as well go K100.
Every engine should be turbocharged, is my philosophy...why not? But I am not looking for max BHP, I am looking for lots of torque, so I will put the smallest TC I can find that matches this engine, like the VW 1.4 TSI or the Stellantis 1.3.
The EFI will be Speeduino as I am an Arduino fan. I have already put an industrial Arduino to control everything else in the car. It has cut a lot of the wiring and minimised high current lengths.

Hi there, sounds like a plan.

Worth taking a look at the new range of GBC turbo's by garrett, small bore specific and showing solid results on the first few projects that are using them

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like an interesting project.

In the 13's at last!.. Just
