Re: Question about turbochargers

I don't think that it's worth it, unless you just get the entire motor and drop it in.

My reasons for this are
A. The bottom end wasn't built strong enough.
B. A turbocharger likes a low compression motor.

If your motor needs rebuilding anyways you can get forged dished pistons and use ARP bolts.
Then your laughing.
Some people say that you need stronger valves too, but I really don't know about that.
It's still a lot of work for all the plumbing.

If you decide to do the job keep a photo journal of it and put it on a web page. I'd like to see it.
