I'm hoping to turbo my 1y van. It's a standard 1y conversion so has the cs sump, 1y oil pump with cs oil pickup, and the 1y fuel pump. The engine is marked t/td to it should be good to take a turbo. It's on a 5 speed box so gearbox is good for it.
I know it's been done, hoping someone here knows how. So far at this early stage i have the following questions. 1 can I use an aaz turbo or should i source a jx one? 2 as for 1 for the inlet and exhaust manifolds. Presumably aaz ones would need some panel bashing but how much? Better to stick js? 3 is the sump from the cs suitable or do I need a jx one? If so why? I'm sure there are even more important questions I don't even know to ask. Any help, knowledge and advice appreciated. I've tried searching but so far turned up little. Also any parts that are available id be happy to make an offer. I'm in no hurry so happy to slowly collect parts till I have everything. Thanks as ever chaps and chapesses Al |

it will take a turbo without any major issues. a sump oil return fitting will be needed ( see b/w shop above) a JX turbo will be easyer but some AAZ ones are usable also with a few mods here and there. no panel mods are needed!

So easiest option being a jx turbo, inlet and exhaust manifolds? The oil return can be added to existing sump. What about fuel pump, can the 1y one be used (I'm guessing not) or would an aaz pump make more sense?

You can use the 1y pump but you will not get the same driveability or power ,you would be better of getting a aaz/gtd pump preferably a early one if you are looking at the aaz pump or a R enault espace pump from a 2.1 td which will give better performance than the aaz and for ease of fitting the gtd will give similar performance to the espace 2.1 but there are different pump mounting brackets used on the 1y pump`s ,the same can be said for aaz pump`s If you have a one piece pump pulley on your 1y you will need a ,aaz pump with a one piece pulley or the pump and bracket if the aaz pump has a two piece pulley ,the espace pump is a straight fit if you have a one piece pulley but will need a bit of fucking about if you have a two piece pulley

Thanks guys!
What is the gtd pump, I've seen this referred to a few places? I'm thinking pumps are easy to get hold of from a breaker. Sourcing a jx turbo and manifolds not so much. Any thoughts? So perhaps I should start by getting the turbo on, leaving my 1y pump in place as it's a good one. Drive it for a little while to check everything is ok on the turbo side, then change the pump to benefit from the extra power. |

So for ease I will go french filth or gtd then. Thanks guys.
Regarding aaz vs jx turbos. I reckon an aaz turbo is easier to get hold of, but do you think ease of getting replacement parts over the medium term is a good enough reason to go that way rather than a likely older jx turbo? |

Bear in mind that the aaz has different pistons (and rods) to the 1y so resist the urge to turn up pump and turbo.

Lmao!, Just saw the little edit!
Thanks for the warning rolo. I'm mindful of the lighter internals. Was aiming for no more than maybe 80 horses. Whatever the standard turbo and gtd (or French!) pump will provide as standard. Bear in mind it's a camper we use for long distances so reliability and fuel efficiency is worth more to me than power, though I do salivate over the scooby powered monsters. |

In this case, better rear view mirrors, much easier gearbox (less notchy), power steering, much faster and not left hand drive.
I'm quite happy with the T3 myself but I admit the T4 is a much smoother and easier proposition. Since its we daily drive she needs to be happy. |
