adding a turbo?

now I'm curious (and it looks like a long night at the grad computer lab)
I currently have an '87 9000 that's pretty rusty. The engine only has 130k miles on it though and I'd probably junk it if I were to buy this older car. Would it be possible to remove the garret turbo on the 87 and bolt it onto the H-motor? I wouldn't expect anything fabulous from the motor - just a little boost. I think proper control could be achieved just by hooking up a wastegate - I've heard that the engine compression differs between turbo and NA - is that the case here? Would that make a difference in such a low-tech implementation of boost?

- If it is a 5 spd, then it is either a Turbo or EMS >>, BobD, Fri, 23 Aug 2002 01:34:29
