2.3 turbo?
Monday, May 15, 2006 12:23 PM
is there a such thing as a turbo set up for a 2.3? could the engine handle it? can it not be done or has no one tried it? im looking to make some big numbers and was hoping to find a turbo with out doing a engine swap ( although that would be nice ) any info on this would help thanks

First change that 95 engine for any other 90-94 Lo. then turbo it. Yes it can handle it.

The engine itself can hold up to 400hp.

I did it to because that is what I was dealt with. I love my car. YES, its the bastard year, but I have already done things with it that people have said you could'nt do.....like use the oil pump conversion and yes, there is material there. You just have to be precise. I wanted to be the one guy that said, yes itcan be done!!

Yeah but... why did you waste your time with the 95 motor?

Lol GP took the 95 2.3 motor years ago, boosted it & did many things to it that most would say you couldnt do to it. His bastard motor has been the envy of all who know him & his car for years & years. Just ask Jake, he has ridden in it

Only because I knew that I could use many of the H.O. parts from previous years. You'll probably say....well why didn'tyou use a whole H.O. block.....because no junk yards in my area had ANY, and I ve been looking for a long time so I said, why not be unique and use the 95 block. I wish I could've had access to a H.O. block.

You wont find him on here, ever & rather then take everything off he was looking to just sell the entire car. One of the Wisc. guys should really take that car off his hands
