hey i know this is a common question but can you put a turbo on a carbeurated car?

yes but its stupid, if you want turbo go efi. case closed.

whats efi? and im going to buy a turbo for like 200 and i want to put it into my z

efi= electronic fuel injection. dont waste your money on a turbo. if thats what you really want go buy a turbo motor from an 82 with wiring harness and ecu and i can tell you how to install that. but thats all. there was a guy on hybridZ.com selling a blow threw (carbuerated) turbo system a few weeks ago. that would be your best bet than trying to invent your own ****.

how hard could it be?

Skully

hard painfull long process with lots of money invested lol...

tonsoffun300zx

cause i need to know before i buy the turbo

tonsoffun300zx

and how much money would i need?

snwbrderphat540

bah, we cant answer that for you, thats alot of custom fab work... you need to get a drain on the oil pan, a turbo exhaust manifold, a turbo, make the oil feed line, get the turbo oil pump, might want to upgrade your distributor and spark system to then, need to make a custom manifold so it can hold boost through the carbuerators, and make custom intercooler piping. expect to spend more that it would take to just buy a complete turbo motor wiring harness and ecu...

dont buy the turbo. turbo+carb=bleh.

how hard could it be... haha

that would have been great trying to just "put" a turbo on a 240Z stock engine.

haha snw should know all about the turbo bastering. if u have time then by all means build u a turbo motor. but if its a dd and u have a time limit/budget do yourself a favor and put the money else where till u have time.

ok i will but what can i do to increase hp?

snwbrderphat540

triple carbs (expinsive and hard to tun) upgrade your spark, headers, full exhaust, cam.... idk. not much you can do without building the motor/head
