ET and EF engine turbo 'kit'?

[imago]

A quick question for those who've worked on/with both. Is a turbo 'kit' (plenum, headers, lock up etc) that was on an EF a straight fit to an older ET engine?

[davecara]

Engine yes, whether or not it'll fit within the frame properly is another question!

[clivegto]

Won't be far off if it don't fit  I have EF and ET if you need anything measuring bud.

The question's your bloody fault anyway!  Being tempted by an offer of a complete blow through set up, which made me start thinking about it for the engine going into the EL frame. Then it made me think about that nicely sorted EF @Duckndivehas for sale.

Now I'm thinking I should just go and have a time out to think about my behaviour.

Well you can never have too many turbo bikes. That's what I heard @clivegtosay anyway

The only thing I would say is beware of "unknown" blow thru set-up's there is usually a reason they are for sale cheap  and  fixing issues can work out expensive

Good advice, thanks. I've declined the offer anyway as it's another distraction and if I don't focus my time (and money) on the draw through I'll end up with multiple projects on the go and fuck all finished.

Well @clivegtois a bad influence on all of us.  I'm trying to keep my focus on the draw through, and while I'm as guilty as anyone of being tempted by shiny things, 'bargains' and another project I'm steering clear.

I'll second that.

I believe you're what's referred to as 'an enabler'. 

[Toecutter]

Is the kit from a reputable source? Have you seen it in person/checked it out by any chance?

Yes, and no I haven't. I've decided against it as I need to focus on the Draw Through, but I'd be fairly sure it will appear on here in due course.

I'll take that as a compliment
