Super / Turbo charging a Kent 1600 Cross Flow

[wculbert]

Hi,
I noticed in a Morgan book a 1600 Crossflow with a Turbo / Super charger on the side.

Is this easy or cheap to do, did any car orignally come with it?

Thanks,
William

it was possibly a very early pace turbo conversion kit on it,saw one on a mk1 fiesta xr2 (crossflow)in the 80's.

The pace turbo on the Mk 1 XR2 gave about 118 bhp from the standard 84bhp, it used the standard air filter and weber DFT carb but with the air filter repositioned above the gearbox and a plenum bolted onto the carb from the turbo, no electronic controls and a standard engine build. There's a road test report in a book called Performance Fiesta.
