MG MGB Technical - B Turbo?

If people are applying the Metro Turbo gubbins to midgets and Minors and the like, could the Monty Turbo bits be retrospectively hooked up to the B series?

Anyone done a B Turbo?

Which 'bits' did you mean? You could use the turbo, though I don't know what model it is - I would guess Garret T3, which would spool up quite slowly. However you definitely can't just bolt the O-series parts onto a B - you'd need custom manifolds, bespoke engine management, and all sorts of other things that the B just doesn't have in common with the O.

There is someone on the board with a beautifull turbo'd B series, perhaps he will comment here later...

Thanks Olly...
BB,
I have been playing with a turbo all of last yearon my 73 B and it was a bit of work.It started out as a Chrystler New Yorker 2.2 turbo, and after a bit of custom fabricating with the Intake and Exhaust manifolds it works fine. I am drawing through a webber 45 DCOE into the Garrett T3, to a pressurised Intake (2.5 X the vollumn of 1 cylinder).Also running a Crane electronic ignition with auto boost control which will retard the timming as the boost increases.
The exhaust from the turbo is 2.5 in all the way back with a Cherry Bomb muffler for sannity. Please excuse the spelling.Give me greese not a key board.. Send me your e-mail add, and I will send a few pics of what I have done. my Web page is almost finished.
