Troy Fodor Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 so what would i need to do if i wanted to Put tht on my Car? Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Just as a point of reference, if youre not familiar with the basic necessities of whats needed for a turbo install, youre probably not ready for a turbo. More parts to install, more parts to fail, shit get pricey... You will want to do tons of research before attempting this. You wont get all your answers in this thread... there is a plethora of valuable info already present on sites out there. Just google NA to Turbo and read up. Quote Link to comment

You asked for a turbo kit but fail to mention if you want draw through or blow through. If you have to ask you don't know and are not ready for this. Research turbo charging for a few months. Read up on similar builds and what was needed and expense. Get this book and read it cover to cover a couple times. Thanks micro... this is a perfect read for those wishing to get into forced induction. Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Draw through, blow through, or convert to EFI. Like the guys said, do a LOT of research before you do ANYTHING. If you want to be able to tune it, you'll want to go EFI. With no disrespect to the seller, those carbed kits were great 25 years ago, but there's a lot more out there to chose from now.....not as far as L20 setups, but as far as turbo choice, tuning, mounting, waste gates, blow off valves, etc. You'd be best off building your own setup, if you have the skills to fabricate. To do it right you'll also want an intercooler, which is another thing to think about. Read up on the subject, for a few months, and then make an informed decision. Quote Link to comment
LB2 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 If you don't do you home work for a Turbo setup you motor will go south in a heart beat. I know guys who are very good mechanics and very knowledgeable and built L series Turbos to only see them break things for reasons there still baffled about. Quote Link to comment

CableDroid Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Digging up an old thread.... I am interested in doing a draw through setup with my L20b 510 Goon. I am no stranger to turbo setups, but the exhaust manifold is a wild car. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Make your own. There's really no way around this. Use the search function, there was a post on here about a home made manifold. Quote Link to comment
