Can I Turbocharge my birck? 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be philip bradley on  Thu Apr 18 02:20 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I wrote up some of the details in an article in the mods section of Turbobricks (www.turbobricks.org) a few years ago. People have done this. Volvo used to sell a turbo conversion kit. You just run lower boost. But it will add stress and you should not expect your tired 200,000 mile motor to run another 200,000 miles after you turbocharge it.

The best thing is to sell your car and buy a good turbo car. The next best thing is, of course, a complete late model or new turbo motor and all necessary accessories. The next best thing is as many used turbo motor parts as you can get, such as the head/turbo/injection/ignition/etc. The final option is to just salvage what you can and adapt it to work on your existing motor -- this will require pretty much what I outlined in the article.
