hey guys i'm new here i have a friend thats looking for turbo manifolds maybe from another chevy of gm that will work with his engine. right now he has a 305ci in his truck. but he would like to turbo it. i only know of 2 trucks with a turbo set up and thats the typhon and cyclone. but their set up is wierd. any suggestions? we would like to go single. but twins are also a idea..i have tried finding manifold but don;t want to buy or tell him to buy with out knowing for sure. if little modification is need thats fine. if it's a lot of modification need on an exsisting manifold den we will just custom make one at the shop. any info would be appreciated thanks.

 

You are going to finds that it is easier to turbo a multi port setup. The syclones and typhoon were V6 trucks. Stick with the larger displacement since the 305 is nothing but a large paper weight when it boils down to it.

 

see thats what i wasn't sure of. i don't know much about those engines so i didn't know if they were a v8 or v6 thanks for the clear up there.. so you are saying go with the 350ci and turbo that? what manifold could i use from another car? i know the transam was once turboed and i right?> what if i got my hands on a manifold from that?

would even a turbo manifold of a diesle engien work?

 

The TA was also a V6 car. There is a turbo exhaust manifold that is made for a small block V8 but I cannot remember the link off hand. There is a few members that have turboed thirdgens. Let me see if I can dig up a link for you. That way you can PM the guys with questions.
