A good place to start is a book by Corky Bell called "Maximum Boost." www.wagnermotorsports.com is another good place to go for info. You should give Andrew Wagner a call there if you are serious. He can give good advice and fabricate parts for you. Lou |

<i>Maximum Boost</i> is a good book, but I sometimes think Corky Bell mixes facts and opinions a bit freely and doesn't always say which is which. It's still a great book for building a turbo car, particularly a EFI one. However, Hugh MacInnes's <i>Turbochargers</i> has a lot more to say about carbs and turbos. However, I'd recommend both - it's hard to research something too well before starting! BTW, what turbo is it your buddy has? Not all of them work well on slants... |

Yeah, that's perfect. The Buick V6 is almost exactly the same size as a slant six. It's just that there are used turbos floating around off everything from Chevy Sprints to big rigs, and I've seen some incredibly creative mismatching. My favorite was a Buick V6 turbo on a lawnmower engine - it wouldn't spool unless they fed it with compressed air through the exhaust, and then it would hit the surge limit.... |

This is interesting  I got more questions... Do you get enough RPM on a stock motor to get full use of a turbo? Thinking maybe it's best to at least change cam to match the RPM's...

Rad to answer your question about stock and turbos, do a search on Tom Drake. Happy reading! |

| Post subject: | Depends on what turbo |
Different turbos work best at different RPM's. For example, a stock slant six spinning at around 3,000 RPM with a TE04 off a K-car turbo at around 8 psi of boost would be right smack dab in the peak efficiency of the turbo. A Buick turbo might be happier another 1,000 RPM or so higher, although I can't verify that without a compressor map. But the Buick Turbo V6 is no rev-monster either. So I'd expect it to be a reasonable match for a slant six. |
