Turbo 383
I am curious on what is needed to turbo a 383 stroker carbed crate engine from blueprint engines? Around 420hp. I would want to try and use the internals that they give me with. What turbo setup would work without destroying the internals and leaving it as I bought it? Max psi I could use? Turbo types? Any good kits available? Thanks

Re: Turbo 383
Agreed.
You need to know the ring gap and compression ratio first. These two things are the major things if you don't want to pop a piston.
Build one or buy one for boost.
If you're sticking with a carb CSU is your best bet for a blow throu carb unless you build your own.
Only kits I've ever seen for third gens is CX Racing. I couldn't tell you about the quality. Never seen one installed or heard of one installed. The majority of FI builds here are custom fabbed.
If you want something with a lot less fab, look into a centrifugal supercharger.

Q: Was curious about compression ratio of this motor and whether forced induction could be used on this engine
Asked by ROBERT on June 28, 2016
A: Thank you for your question. BluePrint Engines BP3834CT1 is rated at 10:1 compression ratio. These engines are not designed for any type of boost pressure or nitrous use.
