of course it can be made to work on our cars.....will it be efficient? No.

[v6maro3800]

:rolleyes:

[v6maro3800]

ok thank you

[v6maro3800]

one mor equestion for you how come no one has put the turbo were the y pipe connects to the cat or right in that area? it seems like it could be installed very easy right there? just wondering thank you.

I looked into this before turbocharging my firebird with a remote unit. It could be done
with two small turbos and the turbine inlet facing upward towards the engine directly after the header. A single would probably mount a little lower in the chassis but as long as you have good ground clearance there would not be any problems. You can even use a decent size A/R ratio to make sure that boost comes on at a decent RPM. This should be done with a really crafty mandrel bending and welding expert, but it
would be a great project!

ok thanks

the reason no one has done it is because of the oil situation. You need a sump since you dont have gravity and why the hell cant you fit a turbo between the engin and radiator?

if you dont wan to atempt forward sweeping headers just do an under the k member y pipe to the turbo like tiago's kit

[v6maro3800]

i can but i just figgureed it would be an easyer place to put it because i dont want to get custom headers made.

Right, but Mocal, Reverso, and Engine Gear all make the sump pump that will work for this application (wish I had thought my remote kit over). All that would be needed is a mock up
Y-pipe and a lttle ingenuity. Any muffler shop could make it. It would be cheaper than what I
made because you have less fabricating. It does not hurt at all to try. I still like how Tiago's
kit mounts. In the end all would work well with the proper setup.

On the other hand I don't think there have been any turbo 3.8's with torque converters, and definitely none that have gotten any numbers.
