what do you need to turbo our small bolcks?
Hi Tyler. You knew I would respond didnt you?
You question is vague...., Matter of Fact, almost too vague to address directly.
I am sorry if that is Blunt...but it is what it is.
Just to get this info out there, in clear plain text...so maybe it will start to soak in.
Your first question was:
" what all do you need to do to your lets say stock spec motor to
turbo it? "
The Answer is add a Brass Tee to your oil pressure sending unit, for your turbo charger Oil Feed....Then: Where-ever you decide...you need a drain hole 2x the size of the Feed and a Line connecting it from turbo to Oil Pan.
Thats it on a stock spec engine....bolt on the turbo exhaust sytem, turbocharger(s) and Charge Air Piping system and upgraded fuel system on, install 1 heat range colder plugs and proceed to tune from low boost level like 5 or 7 psi, then gradually work your way up to when the Headgaskets Pop....then upgrade to a MLS Headgasket, ARP Studs, drop the oil, install fresh oil and do it again.
Cast Pistons WILL live above 600hp...dont let nobody get you thinking any different.
You want some more info?....you should really dig into AnotherA's Turbo 71 Swinger thread.

The ONLY thing I would have done different...."personally"....I would have went with a Custom Garrett, or Precision Turbocharger....and I prefer a Open T4 Flange..... The first turbo AnotherA chose was a .68 AR, and was IMHO too much choke to be a Single Turbo on a V8.
I personally would start with a 1.04 AR, and sacrifice a bit of 2500-ish boost for 3000-3500ish BOOST...buts that just me.
Turbocharging is not a cheap road...but the gains are well worth the coin.
Another thing....you'd be surprised how far stock components will go. Chevrolet coaxed ONE THOUSAND hp out of a 2.4L Ecotec 4 cylinder using over 85% stock components...imagine that for second...Then research what they did...nothing dramatic. They installed a Forged Crankshaft, Forged Rods, and Thermal Badd *** coated pistons in there, Solid Copper headgasket, head studs, and O-ringed Head/Block and cranked the boost to 50 psi.
Think about that.
Choosing the right compressor is more important than the decision To Turbocharge/ or Not To Turbocharge.
