Re: heY HELP I NEED IT

When it comes to modifying a car, one can pretty much do whatever they want, as long as it's a realistic goal. Of course a turbo can be installed on the 2.5. Get the plumbing right for the exhaust and the rest is fairly simple.

If turbo-charged, the little engine will need some upgrades internally, in order to survive. The connecting rods GOTTA go! They're cast, not forged. Aftermarket units are available. Same is true of the pistons.

Pontiac has a raft of performance parts under the "Super Duty" moniker, for that engine (found in the "GM Performance" catelog). We've built a few that make over 300 HP, naturally apsirated, for "midget" racers. The aluminum cylinder head is a work of art, remeniscent of the Pontiac SD V8s. There's a forged crankshaft from Pontiac, but Callie's offers a "stroker" that will displace 2.7 lr. with a .030 overbore.

How deep are your pockets?
