I have a 90 convertible and I have a few questions about turboing it. I have a few ideas about how I want to do this but could someone give some input on if this would work or not. If it won't work what needs to be considered:

-keeping my stock ecu and wiring harness
-getting a turbo flywheel and keeping NA tranny
-keeping my NA drivetrain
-getting a rebuilt turbo engine
-piecing the rest together(turbo,exh. and int manifolds, IC...etc)
-and using a S-AFC

Could this work if I keep the boost below 10 psi?

 

I'd suggest a Turbo ECU/Pressure sensor/AFM
Can't use a turbo flywheel with the N/A tranny
NA driveline will be OK as long as you don't beat on it and don't go much past stock

You can use an SAFC with the n/a ecu, but it's not recommended since it doesn't pull timing, and it's generally a bit less reliable.

 

sonic is right go turbo from the gate

 

How is the stock ECU going to know it's in boost?


Trans will most likely fail.

Drivetrain will most likely fail.

Sounds expensive?
