is it possible to turbo the n/a motor?and what would i have to do to make it work?

 

Yes its possible.. But you have to ask yourself this... Is it really worth it? Have you modded your N/A to the point that selling it and buying a TII is going to cost more than the turbo install? If so, then you'll need;

Turbo/Manifold
Wastegate if you your turbo doesnt have on internally
Oil/Coolant lines to and from the turbo
Manifold Spacer
Intercooler
Fuel system to support whatever boost you plan to run
Costom Exhaust
Costom Intake/Intercooler Piping
Blow off valve
Guages (boost, A/F Ratio, EGT)
A clutch that can handle the added power
The smarts to tune a high compression turbo vehicle
The control not to clutch dump at 6k and trash your tranny
A lot of time

To do all this, you'll need to be quite crafty. A lot of costom fabbed work will be required. If your N/A is nearly stock.. I recommend selling it and saving for a TII. I myself, am beyond that point.. And am gathering the parts to do this myself. I plan to start in the next few weeks, after my tax return comes. Good luck

 

I posted a similar thread a few days ago do a search on "n/a turbo" you should see it. The thread has basically a whole parts list. Hope it helps you.. I'm in the process up collecting all the parts to convert my 6p n/a to a single factory turbo.. I here that you would want the whole drivetrain for it to work at full power. I personally don't do a lot of hard driving and never plan on 1/4 mile or anything, so I'm not going to get the whole drivetrain.

 

the motor is already SP,i have the turbo and manifold from a 88TII,a starion I/C,S-AFC,and all the custom fab **** i can do.

 

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD,
USE THE ******* SEARCH FEATURE!

 

NO ****!

 

There are like 3 of these posts a day, look at the upper right-hand corner for the search button.

 

hahahahahahhahahaha

 

Hell, you usually dont even have to use the search button, you just need to scroll down the whole page and youll see at least one topic at all times.

 

Mine is turbo converted, all you need is the following TII parts:
Turbo and manifold (Factory turbo has a wastegate included)
BOV (I got mine from a friend that upgraded his BOV)
12a Turbo Blue injectors (720cc)
TII Timming cover turbo oil discharge line (Two piece) or you can keep n/a and drill hole and solder fitting to the oil pan.
Drill a hole in the oil filter mount and install a braided 3' line from there to the turbo (Auto meter oil line is the way to go $45 includes fittings)
Intercooler.
TII Intake manifold (Needs to be ported a little for the extra ports.
Remove the 6 port sleeves.
TII Throtle cable

I got kept the following N/A Parts:
Computer and harness
TPS (How? Easy unclamp it from the n/a TB and clamp it on the TII TPS base)
Flow meter
I basically eliminated the air temp sensor, Air Pump, pulsation damper and all those worthless parts.
Installe a pump kill switch just in case (Have not needed it yet)
Kept n/a primary injectors.

Running at 8 psi and ported ehaust just fine.
I also installed new parts inside the engine since it was time for a rebuild.
I got lucky doing this swap since my mechanic gave me intercooler, and other parts for free!!!
The swap including labor and anp internal engine parts came up close to $800.00
