what kinds of things should i be aware of before i pop a turbocharger in my 2.4 V6 (carb)??

should i be worried about the suspension, tranny, engine?

ive never done any mods on my camaro, but its slow as hell and its pissing me off, plus i can get a turbo cheap cuz my buddy works in a hot rod shop

keep in mind, im not looking for a 1000hp machine, just something thats not so embarassing......300hp would be ok with me

 

omg, soooo do not do it to a carb'd engine!!

The bottem end is notoriously weak on the carb'd motors (82-84).

Seeing as how you can swap a later model block in, though, turbo'ing it right now isn't all that bad of an idea

Solid float, for one... get a t3/t4... going draw through, or blow?

 

ARRGG?? dude its all greek to me, im a up and coming car guy, ur gonna have to break it all down to lol....sorry



well if a turbo isnt the way to go.....how do i make it fast without killing my wallet, or swaping the engine (i dont want to change my insurance) so i wanna keep it a v6

 

Start by getting a 3.4 block, with an Edelbrock 4 barrel intake, and a 390cfm Holley. Should run you about $500-$700 total, and it will be a BIG difference with a new cam!

 

draw thru = the 301 Turbo T/A ~ early style Buick turbo cars.

blow thru = big 'ol "air hats" on top on the carb to keep all that psi blowing thru the top of the carb.
