im trying to tackle this

im building a 383 all forged bottom end
ported and polished trick flow heads 195cc runner 2.02 intake valve 1.60 exhaust 64cc combustion chamber
the pistons will be dished 30cc to match the 64cc chamber and make about 8.5 to 8.7:1
ill be running an edelbrock airgap intake manifold moded to have and under intake nos system
this is goin to be a carbed engine
as far as the turbo goes i only know where im goin to mount it
i have a kit that puts the turbo where the coolant overflow goes and the front bumber is goin to have an oval 2foot hole in the middle of it for the intercooler. mostlikly ill be running like 10 psi or somethign like that
who knows i might even put a vortec on it later (probably not)

if u have any questions about this please feel free to ask on here or email

matt

Sure you can run nitrous and a turbo. The nitrous even has a beneficial cooling affect on the intake charge. As for streetable, of course, the import guys do it all the time with 4 cylinders. Just make sure you build the engine strong enough to handle the high cylinder pressures you'll be seeing.

I'm not sure where the problem is… what do you mean by streetable?

You could take a stock engine, bolt a turbo and N2O setup to it, add some C16 race gas and carefull tuning and you'd have something with a turbo and N2O that drives like a stock car till you mash the throttle. Swap the stock heads for some with large cambers to lower the compression and you should be able to pull off the same deal with pump gas.

Will the power be useable on the street? No… There is absolutely nothing that you could do running N2O legally on the street…
