from what I have learned you can use the 4 banger and import turbos, but you will need 2 of them. I was going to use 2 off of the nissan sr20det motors, but never got around to finding the matching turbo. Rule of thumb is to equal close to 5.7l....like 2 turbos off of 2.5l would equal 5.0, two 3.0l turbos equal 6.0. So the sr20det turbos would be a little small, only 2.0liters, but I was just going to see what would happen. I bet you could make budget yourself around a grand. buy used stuff and not name brand. Don't know how efficient it will be or how long it will last, but it will give you knowledge for the next project.
my 2 cents.

OK...Then tell us how you can turbo charge a small block chevy under $1,000 and it run worth a crap...$1,000...i am all ears...you have the floor
before you even start,,go ahead and price us a good USED BLOW THROUGH CARB AND A GOOD USED WASTEGATE.....and lets see how much of that 1,000 you have spent before you have got started....
just what do you run or own ?...maybe this will tell us where you get this 1k turbo charging budget.
I did it to a pinto 2 liter for 1500 (new parts)...... in 1972! :shock:
thats very believeable !..and how much was the pinto itself new in 1972 ?..$4,000....lol
No brother, you*re way high! Had 4 miles on it when I picked it up, $1977 and out the door at Jerry Hays Ford in Independence, MO. You could have bought a new Chevelle for four grand!
