PISHTAS turbo build

gunship said

I am thinking about getting a slant six barracuda and am hoping to do a turbo build.
I keep seeing that PISHTAS did a very nice budget turbo build and had a thread about it. Is there anyone that could point me in that direction? I have been searching and searching to no avail. Any other budget turbo builds are appreciated too. I am just trying to get the most out of a stock bottom end. If I get it I will plan on getting work done to the head at least and hopefully the turbo as well.

If you set some desired parameters such as how much horsepower you would like to end up with, amount of boost, budget, or performance specs you'd like to achieve, it would be a lot easier for someone on here to help you.

It seems like 250 horsepower is pretty easy to get with stock internals and 10 pounds of boost. Beyond that, you can go for a lot more, but as the saying goes; power costs money; how fast do you want to go? A 500 horsepower slant six is not THAT hard to build, but, requires some specialized parts to make it reliable. Things like ARP studs and an O-Ringed cylinder seal at the cylinder head/block interface help ensure longivity.

You pays your money and you takes your choice. Lots of options are available; you just need explore the range... and, make a decision as to which way you want to go with this.

I applaud your choice of a turbocharged slant six. I think it can be the most rewarding choice of engines out there... just my opinion.:color:
