What NA car would you turbo?

[Ronsam2006]

I was just wondering what NA car for under a 100k would you turbo? HAS to be NA and please tell us why you chose it.

I would choose a C6Z and turbo that simply because of its potential.

The thicker cylinder walls of the standard vette would make it a better candidate for a big turbo build vs. a board stroked small black 7.0L. A lot of the C6Z's have issues compared to alot of high powered N/A now turbo cars.

I'd have to choose an inline 6 motor simply because they are harmonically balanced and have a tendancy for make gigantic power, hence why built E46 M3's are making 800-900whp on pump gas. Although they are working on a twin turbo E39M5 that should makes 6's at like 10lbs on the stock motor. Both would be good candidates for me

It's the same motor as an LS2/3 just bored and stroked. That means more cc's but less metal in between the cylinders. Pair that with to much boost and it cracks/blows.. Hence why a none-bored version should have more potential..stronger cylinder walls. This applies to alot of bored motors..M3's for example of another car like that. The M52 2.8 liter is a much better engine to boost than the bored 3.2 in my car.

You are right about reliability of the motors...but I didn't know that the LS7 a bored and stroked LS2...I really would just choose the Z06 because they are sexy as hell..and they will put out enough power when boosted.

The LS7 uses a completly different aluminum casting from the LS2/3.

That's def my second choice.

[IndianStig]

E46 M3, Lexus SC300 pre 96, Honda S2k, Rearmount on C6 reg/C5 Z06, Charger 5.7l w/rear mount, Challenger with rear-mount, Mustang GT, Camaro/Trans Am LS1....the list goes on and on.

I would like to do a SC300, E46, Challenger forsure though. I'll do at least one in my lifetime.

[SpooL'DGsR]

i completly agree with all the cars mentioned above, but when it comes to being somewhat affordable i rather ride clean and comortable. i have always loved big cars (4 doors tanks ) which is why i would boost a charger srt8.

not bad for a 4000 pound car !!

I know and that extremely badass block made specifically to fit the larger bore of the cylinders isn't exactly boost friendly. It's built to be N/A, like a 3.4L M3

like a honda

[blackshine007]

Me personally, I like the look of the big body style cars too. It's always been my dream to get ahold to a 3 rotor cosmos engine and drop it right into a Mazda 929 and boost the snot out of it. Actually, not even a whole lot. Maybe 15psi and make around 400-500 whp. And go VIP style on it. People will never see that coming.

I'd turbo mine too.

1985 Mercury Marquis, 5.0 ford motor and it would sleep on a lot of cars, Vinyl top is a must, wood grain plastic interior, and spoke hubcaps.

[RUFFIAN]

Honestly , I would do a stroked twin turbo set up on that new Pontiac G8 GT. I'd do that because I think they are good looking and I want to break some guys hearts and do it in something different.

damm.
i think i might want to build a jeep

[Demsum]

Audi's RS4 or S5. They both use versions of the 4.2L V8 that powers the R8, so the hardest part would be deciding between AWD or RWD.

[ranger250x]

with out a doubt a fox body mustang and the reason.....

[Sunkenkarma]

Umm, yeah...Jeep SRT-8 Turbo ftw.

[speedminded]

I was just wondering what NA car for under a 100k would you turbo? HAS to be NA and please tell us why you chose it.

I would choose a C6Z and turbo that simply because of its potential.

At first I thought this was a dumb thread but I think it has potential...

1) BMW e39 540i 6-speed - Remote twin turbo

2) BMW e36 328i Sedan - Top mount GT35R

3) Acura NSX

4) Mercedes CLS

5) Radical SR8 V8

6) BMW e46 M3

[Ronsam2006]

Damn some very interesting answers! This is the thread to come and live all your dreams...lol.
