Default TURBO FOR 84 CROSSFIRE

AFTER GIVING IT A LOT OF THOUGHT AND SEEING HOW JONAS PUT IN HIS TURBO, I'M THINKING I CAN INSTALL ONE WHERE THE AIR CON COMPRESSOR IS, I JUST NEED FEED BACK IF THIS WILL WORK. :cheers: :U

Your biggest problem will be making an air box that you can put boost into. One nice thing is sence you are using a wet style injection you can run a little more boost. I saw that on horse power TV but can't remember why. Anyway everything else should be pretty straight forward. I would start by trying to find a new air box. Go to the Crossfire forum and ask arround there. I know some of them have made custom air boxes for superchargers. Shouldn't be too different to make one for turbo.

Actually it is a Vortech V-1 supercharger, but a small turbo would work too. The stock Cross-Fire engine will handle about 10psi boost if it is in good shape and well tuned. That will give you about 300 rwhp. ( 350+ crank hp).

I put the alternator in the A/C pump bracket. It was easy to do.

I cut one ear off the lower alternator bracket and made the supercharger brackets from 10mm thick aluminum.









And this is the air-box:






I will modify the air-box and add an air-water chargecooler to it like this:



I will use a water tank, an electrical water pump and the A/C condensor to cool the water.

I cannot get the pictures to come up. Can you post them. I am thinking of doing this and want to see how you made the air box. Did you et nozzles that can provide more pounds per hour. And did you purchase a new ECM. I saw the EBL tuning site and thought I would need something like that.
