I am looking for a turbo manifold for the X14XE. It seems Courtenay have stopped making them, so I am looking for something second hand.

If anyone has one just lying around, please feel free to contact me.

I could make you a Log type manifold (to keep cost down alittle) but would be brand new.......

Ok, so a little over a year since I first posted I have finally been able to get my hands on a Courtenay turbo kit, with all the bits and pieces. That's what I get for living in Norway, where stuff like this is expensive and just about impossible to get a hold of.

Ended up buying the kit on Ebay, from an english guy.

I'm planning on installing it in about a months time, just have to get some more parts for the engine first.

I am going to order a new clutch, as the one I have now has done almost 150 000 km (close to 100 000 miles), and is more than ready to be replaced with a brand spanking new one. Also going to put in some new piston rings, as it is burning a bit too much oil for my liking. Plus naturally all the related parts you need when pulling out the whole engine and taking it apart. Basically I'll be doing a full overhaul of the engine, just not going for new pistons or valves (at least not this time around).

What I am looking to find out is what kind of boost levels I should run so that I don't blow something in the engine. Also what kind of power gains I can expect from a Courtenay turbo kit on the X14XE.

If anyone knows anything else I need to do to make the engine run well, please let me know.
