I have a A15 datsun engine in my 1959 Ford Thames van nd im thinking of putting a turbo on it...

Is this possible?
How hard is it?
what needs to be done?

yes, not too hard, have a word to andy-roo he has just done one

Also try the search bar, the answers are numerous and detailed, all you could ever need to know about turboing an A series is recorded on the site.

I have a mildly worked datsun a15 with a dogleg gear box and datsun roadster ute diff in a 1959 ford thames panel van...but i want to make it more unipue... i just brought a recond Garret M4 turbo of a friend of a friend for mates rates...a deal i couldn't resist...

The A15 engine is carby all the numbers on the turbo are M4 Garret a/r.53 1-2 (on the compresser) and h6 0.83 n59 (on the inlet to the exhaust) and .64 on the exit of the exhaust.

What will i have to do u fit this turbo on to the engine?

Cheers Toby

To fit the turbo to the engine, all you need to do is fabricate a new exhaust manifold and exhaust piping. Then fabricate plumbing to the carb. Then modify the carb. There are more complicated ways to do it, which give better performance.

Or pay a shop to design it and install it... which is the easiest way.
