Mate it is very possible as long as it is a low pressure pump which will flow the same or more than the mechanical pump!

Mr nizmo4 I agree most people put them for the sound! ( If I wanted the CHsssshhh! sound I would open a bottle of coke! lol!
I however do prefer the flutter you get without the BOV!)
There is a bit of again you get by haveing a BOV and that is the when you release the throtle for gear changes the excess presure is released and the turbo is still kept spinning so as it with still be creating boost for when the throtle in pressed again!( If you change gear quick enough you wont even notice this even if you dont have a BOV)

I personally feel that it is better without a BOV as when you change gear with a BOV you still have the same boost and this power is going straight on the gearbox! ( Leading to breakage!)

I see it to be a win, win, No win situation!


And like I said and others have said and repeated a low pressure fuel pump it no good! ( You need a hi pressure fuel pump off of an EFI car!)

The pulsar comes with an internal wastegate!
Not sure about the diesel turbo!
( Your the diesel man mate!)

most Factory turbos come with internal wastgates but some do come with external!
( I think some 200SX's come with external wastegates!)

Regarding BOV's I am not sure I personally have never really bothered with a BOV as I dont really care for them!

You need to disconnect the mechanical fuel pump !( it's no good for this job!)
And you need to get a high pressure fuel pump off of an EFI car!

You also need a rising rate fuel regulator!
( I wouldnt know how you go about getting this where you are! Maybe try performance shops!) ( This regulator never came on any car from the factory!)

Go the Datto did say the pulsar that you described and there is also a hatchback pulsar that came with the same engine!

Hi Daniel,
Would I be able to get one of those too?
And by any chance would it be possible to get the pics that I have already uploaded put into this? even the pics that I stuffed up and didn't say were mine?

Please give me the response that I am after! pls!

Thank you mate,
Steve!

Sorry 1200rally car the other bloke was talking about a corolla FWD so disregard what I was saying!
(but I am sure their is a RWD box that will fit it ! celica or atleast a bellhousing has been made to fit the celica box to this engine!)

I wrote before that we had run 32 psi in a 1200 with an old A12! and with A15's!
( I wouldn't do this all the time and not for long either!)

Regarding how much boost it will hold?
Only one way to find out!
( like us and many before us! Trial and error!)

1200rallycar i agree what you are saying about the corollas being cool to drive but the one I was talking about as an old RWD
( sorry but i forget which kind and model!)
But as for putting a corlla engine in a 1200 that is not what I meant and to do it would be preety straight forward as the corollas are like A12's some RWD and some FWD!
But personally I wouldn't bother either as it is no better than an A series engine of the same capacity!
