Which 4 cyl. would be a better use... an old 150-somthing from the chevy II or a mid to late 80's from like an s-10?
Im thinking of a mild turbo set-up in a car weighing around 1000lbs.
Thoughts? Pro's/con's?
Cheers!


Well, the Chevy II will have cheap(er) parts, the S-10 could have several different engines.

However I think a 2900 would be your best bet, you could use the 4L60 out of a Trail Blazer, Jeremy should be able to program it up for you.

A small turbo, say a TD04-15 off a Volvo at roughly 10PSI, with a good charge cooler should be impressive . \:\)


My, what a steep learning curve. Erik II#5155
