Why do you need to turbo it for the rally? Spend your money on more useful things like: Finishing the rally
Ghettobird
Even a cheap conversion will see you spending 500+ on bits and pieces
ECUs will cost you about 200$
Turbo, manifold 150ish
fittings, gaskets and lines 100ish
Modified downpipe for about 150ish
Intercooler, pipework, MAF relocation, etc etc are all time and $
That said, If your 100% set on doing it - If your down in melb Ive got a feq turbos, manifolds and downpipes that would suit

Dear Mr Jed. Is this your first rodeo?
The shitbox rally covers some 5,000 kilometres from what I remember reading about it many years ago. Can your car the way it sits now even do 10% of that without you having to stress and worry about whether the car would make it in one piece? I would be willing to bet my house that the $300 car would have never had anything even remotely close to any form of PM (preventative medicine) done to it (tight A owners possibly didn't help the situation).
If you're serious about entering and completing said rally, I seriously urge you to sit down, relax and write up a plan which involves spending some serious PM money on the car, ESPECIALLY on the ENTIRE cooling system, which would need a complete overhaul. And I mean everything. When you've done that, come back and we'll tell you what's next.
Have fun

@Ghettobird - great user name. I have everything other than EZK / ECU - do you have any for sale?
@ramrod - thanks for your concern, will send you photos of it at the finish line - turbo'd and all xx
Ghettobird
Thanks lol
LH2.2 or LH2.4 ecus? 2.2 are more common, 2.4 is better

A '90 model should be 2.4, I ended up buying 940 turbo ECU's from the US as they're much more plentiful there.
I have a set of turbo injectors available, $50 as is or $100 cleaned and kitted.

Having done the Sixty Five Roses rally in a 240, and a little bit of special stage rallying, and having owned a +T 240... Ramrod is 100% right.
One of my rally mates is a sweep for the Shitbox Rally. I will make sure he gives you lots and lots and lots of shit when he bails you out. :)
