I know it's possible to turbo any engine, safely. but I don't know some of the other things... I'll start with what I do know...
it's easier to turbo with TBI/FI, mostly because you can monitor everything espesially the AF...
to turbo a carb, it's best to get a box..
with 9.3 CR, you want to aim around 8psi boost, giving the option to run a smaller turbo...
you MUST run a waste gate
intercooler is not nessesary with only 8 psi boost, even tho it can be helpful.
any boost requires more gas,
detenation is more dangerous and harmful under boost.
so there are something applied to the above notes... what I want to know is some other random things...
with a turbo, is the idle quality changed?
as I'm running AC, will this create more heat the engine makes? even if I take it easy, I don't see my self boosting while the AC is running, is there a way to keep the waste gate open and then switch it on/off according to the AC status? or even a manual switch
If you were in my shoes and wanted to boost ur i6, would you convert to MS first then boost or box the carb and boost? or boost a boostable 2bbl...
I hope in the end, 200rwhp, I'm @ 136rwhp right now.
this is related to my MORE POWER thread in my sig.
Thanks guys...
