Many turboing questions


Recommended Posts

Interesting read......

I'm planning to turbo my ET so was going to be asking slot of these questions. 

Does most of the oil cooler info go for the air cooled as well. I was planning on using stock Pistons but will I be needing to uprade to something else 

sorry to hijack your thread.

Oil pressure and modern turbos! Plain bearing turbos will not survive with std GSX 5 - 10psi pressure. Has to be increased and even with 750 gears the 30psi is marginal based on turbo specs. Ideal would be to use a BB cored unit - more expense though! Rajays still work well on draw through installs - harder to find these days but the bearing arrangement suits low aircooled oil pressures!

It can cost more to do the crank and buy a set of straight cuts ....

than it cost to build my 1216 turbo motor.................

I take it that some of the internals don't take turbo power to well then. What would the crank need to take the load.
