Check out turbobricks.com there are guys there that have done this You can convert B23s to B23FTs... some say the best block for turbos. But its not easy. You need to drill holes in the block for the turbo oil pipes, and you need B23 turbo pistons (about 400 bucks american I have heard). Of course this means you have to rebuild the engine. The you need a fuel system and ignition that can deal with boost. So you would need custom stuff or the fuel system from a Volvo turbo (kjet 240 or LH 700) and a head to match the fuel system. So ya you can do it, but you have to be a turbo nut!
