iv been thinkin about geeting a fb for a while now and iv finally decided that the next 7 i get will be a 1st gen with a 12a. my question is: what are the do's and don'ts of going turbo. what should i know or do. im not looking to push 15 or 20 psi at most 10 . if anyone has any real suggestions as far as kits or anything please let me hear it.

 

search..this is covered like every week..there are several threads about this...search 12a turbo or turbo 12a

 

omg why didnt i think of that??? oh maybe i did and it gave me nothing. iv been apart of 7 club for about 2 years now. i think i know what to do if i need help. now any one with REAL SUGGESTIONS OR ANSWERS please tell me about it. and dont tell me how to use this site. im not a newbie. iv had 3 fc but have always wanted a fb so now im gonna get one but only after i do my research and find out more about the 12a and what kind of power i can get from it.

Hard to believe it "gave you nothing" when you searched for turbo 12a.

zrokool= don't be a dick if you want some help dude. and yes there's atleast 1 post a week about going turbo...

 

You might find some good info here.

 

yea i found the turbo II swap but thats not what i was wanting to know. thats not even what i asked. i want to put a turbo on it not swap the whole engine? swaping the whole engine isnt something i can do over the weekend. i have about four other guys that can help speed up the process but theres no way i can do that swap in a couple of days. so now that we all are on the same page. i need to know what is involved in turning a n/a gsl into a turbo gsl. sorry for being a dick but i thought my thread was specific enough. my bad?

by the way i clicked on the first link and it said sorry no match's( lmao) sorry i thought it was funny how i couldnt find anything and then some dude tryed to call me a dick and TRY to point me in the right direction and i STILL got nothing. lol

 

I don't get it. Anyways, I will cut you a break. Get a turbo, 12a manifold to bolt to it, turbo piping, intercooler (if you want to run one), oil lines, coolant lines (depending on what turbo), carburetor prepped (stock nikki, weber, OER, Holly, Mikuni, Quadrajet, etc), FPR, new high pressure pump, wideband, BOV, Wastegate (depending on what turbo you run), boost controller, better plugs, 2.5" exhaust minimum, and possibly upgraded hard fuel lines (depending on the boost you wish to run). With those in hand, it will be much easier to pinpoint what you wish to run with, what you will make, and what it will take to make it.


My apologies for being quite straightforward for you, we get these "how do I turbo my 12a" threads ATLEAST once a week. With minor searching, you can find all the answers you will ever ask for, plus some.

 

Is this one more helpful?

(ENGINE) How to build a high output 12a turbo without blowing up your motor

I'm going to be honest and say that took me awhile to find, 90% of the search results are "Do a search"

 

Oh and also, the link stopped working. Safe to say, I typed in "12a Turbo" in the search function and it worked. Please do it again. Since you are online, I believe the link I will post will only work at most 15-30 minutes. I clicked on the link I posted and got the same message you got.

Here is a new link. Time right now is 2:45AM on the east coast. If it fails within 30 minutes, search yourself.
