In the basement, I still have the turbo, TB, and associated plumbing from the 85 GLH I grew up with.

Miss that car...

Joe,

I think you need a ride in my new ride (92 Spirit 2.5L turbo II).

Lou, that would be great! :D 8)

Wait...on second thought, no. I've got enough to do without putting a turbo on my Valiant.
Shotgun in your 68 was a bad influence! :lol:

A Slant six without some form of forced induction is like a rhinocerus without a tusk. The miserable (OEM) cylinder head sees to that.

Turbos are not easy, nor cheap, but if you want to make significant horsepower from a slant six, it's hard to do it naturally aspirated... just not enough flow can be achieved with those small valves and ports.

My 2-cents; YMMV.

Bill

One word says it all.... A well ported head and good NA combination goes a long way.
