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.

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...

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 . . .

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.
