This is one of those things that I'm a bit divided on.
1. It would be nice to see a "period" technology piece built. Almost steam punk I suppose. Lol.

2. With so many off the shelf engines with turbos already bolted on. The hard work has been done for you. So why bother messing with a setup which is far from ideal.
Injection is much better for turbo applications. So just get an engine, ECU and loom and go from there.
After collecting parts, building it, developing a package and tuning it...
.. Might as well just pick up a 1.0 ecoboost engine and use that!
Will be far more economical and reliable than a 30+ year old OHV having boost pushed through it that it was never designed for.

Yeah very good point! Will in time build a zetec turbo, but was just interested in something a bit different for the time being, all interesting stuff!

Shame this never ran. Really wanted to do this myself 15 years ago!
