Im also very interested in trying out a turbo system, but i want ot be able to use it with the current compression ratio engine i have now, which is 9-1, so this will limit the amount of boost i can run. I am also like a few of the other folks around here "On a tight Budget", so the set up has to be affordable, im leaning towards trying to do what 455Bird has dont and maby using Alcahol/water injection if i must, but i would really assume use just high octane pump gas if at all possiable?
Tom would a Turbo off of one of the 301 turbo setups work, if it was made into a blow through type setup ? or would it only work in a pull thorugh type deal? or woulf the 301 turbo just not really do anything because its a piece of junk?
And what kind of turbo would be a good one to try and search out at the salvage yards or on Ebay if you wanted to keep the pressure down around 7 psi or so?
Also what would be the max pressure you could run on a 9-1 motor and still run pump gas?
Sorry for all the questions, im just really interested in something different.
