Who wants a mopar turbo kit?!?!
There is no aluminum head. I believe that was his point. Nothing about boosted slants, just that someone has a great idea that may or may not go anywhere.
P.s., I don't think anyone has boosted an aluminum slant to prove what you stated.
Its been a while since I've seen one. I do remember that the head is unique to the aluminum block, because of the water jacket and cylinder wall construction.
There was an article run, either on slantsix.org or in mopar collector's guide, about turbocharging the slant six, with some example pictures of what it does to the aluminum engines. They give out at the top of the cylinder sleeve.
Anyway, yeah I can see how an aluminum cylinder head for a slant six would be a task/ not yet available.
If I come by the article, I'll post it up for anyone curious about what it did to that engine.
The standard iron block slant six is actually one of the best engines to boost, because of it's high bolt count per cylinder and head layout.
I'd still love to have a turbo motor at some point. Not sure when or where.
I've got a set of turbo headers that I tig welded up and low comp pistons that I could jam into the Scamp, but that engine is built for N/A, down to the cam and valves.
The headers that I built clear power steering and the stock battery location. I thought about building a jig for holding the tubes in place, to reproduce the headers, but I got lazy. lol Manifolds are more street friendly and produce less heat.
I want a rear mount system for my rig.
