chevyman1937-- You should've picked up the whole engine if you could have, then donated it to me.
The Grand National engine with the turbo is a beast. I've heard so many stories about how fast they were, even straight from the factory.
Anyway, I don't know anything about turbo selection, but that you have to match your engine and turbo very well to avoid turbo lag and get the setup you wanted. TO my understanding you want the boost to come in at low RPM, around 2000rpm I think. Here ya go, I just found it in Leo's book....
"What you want, at least for street, is to set the boost to come in at 2000rpm in high gear (not overdrive)."
With port injection you would run into the same setup as a blow-through system on a carb. The only diiference being you would be using a throttle body instead of a carb. Do you have a TPI setup on an engine, or are you just getting me all excited?
What heat are you referring to when you say "produce heat constantly"? The turbo is going to heat the air less than a roots type blower. Not to mention you can use an intercooler with a blow-through system. The intercooler will provide you with more power, ability to run higher boost levels, along with better throttle response. I hope this helps. Thanks for all the replies guys, and keep them coming. John.
