turbo a stock motor??
 

i have an 87 base non turbo, and i was thinking of either getting a greddy kit or peicing together a turbo. now i dont know a lot about turboing, so maybe you guys can help me out....

will i need to replace my seals before i do this?
what other prep will i have to do before i can install the turbo.
does anybody recommend any specific type of turbo.

i know this is a noob question, but bear with me. No negitive response's please. sarcasm is childish and stupid.

with that being said, thank you for your help guys.

For god's sake... this stuff gets posted so many times per day it is not even funny. Read the stickies at the top, there is information there about putting a turbocharger on a naturally aspirated motor. Hell... Aaron_Cake even has a page or two on his web site about it. You are going to get negative responses and sarcasm because you did not even bother to look in the obvious places.

sorry, but searching would have answered your questions much faster.

Turbo'ing a factory N/A can be quite troublesome. I wouldn't suggest using anything bigger than the stock turbo from a TII until you're acquainted with the process. You'll have to use the stock turbo manifold, a 2" spacer, get an intercooler, and have it all plumbed together. Start looking for bigger injectors to begin with and a stand-alone will be needed for anything really effective.

The FC is one of the least easy NA-T cars out there from my knowledge...

And, out of curiosity, when has "please don't post anything negative" ever worked?

Dont get me wrong id love to help you out b/c this is a project im doing right now, but the media is there, ALOT of it, many many people have used the high compression NA engine for boosting, but if you dont do it just right, you'll be buying yourself another motor in no time. maybe my first post was a little more destructive, but since your looking to be spoon fed here you go . . .

start with that

If you want big power from an NA FC, the cheapest option would probably be nitrous. Doing a turbo job takes a lot of fabbing. Doing a supercharger job takes a lot of fabbing. Dropping in a TII engine takes some wrench turning. Selling your car and buying a TII takes a little negotiation and ad reading.

Dropping a 302 ford with aluminum heads and a mild cam takes a little money and some fabbing, but makes a ground pounding ferocious monster that is a bastard child whom no one will respect, until they see nothing but tail lights, haha.

If you don't have time to search about it, you sure as hell won't have time to actually do the work.

Damn trolls... in more than one way!

Dear "nopistons", first you're on the wrong site. Second, the FAQ is fascinating....so many answers found in such a small document. C). Archives are good...and fast as well. fourth, lashing out at us for pointing out your mistake is a sure way of insuring you DON'T get help..... Fifth, why would you be "oppose" to reading about your new hobby?

Thread cleaned, flames deleted, warnings issued and posts edited as necessary.

Closing the thread.

To the original poster: Please reread the forum rules sticky and check the FAQ. Could have saved yourself a lot of time and trouble.

To everyone else: Enough with the "search or else!" crap. Once link to the search, FAQ or archives is enough.
