Turbo gen 2?

[wreckwriter]

Hey guys, I've read that one should not turbo it gen 2 without reducing the compression ratio. Obviously this would add a huge expense and amount of effort to the build.

First off, how true this?

Secondly, any better options to greatly increase the power without pulling the motor? Nitrous doesn't seem like a good option due to space limitations and constant refills being needed.

Thanks as always
Tom

That is a lie. You can most definitely turbo a gen2 pump 93 octane stay around 270wheel. E85 keep it around 330wheel factory engine, and enjoy it!

Oh don't do back to back pulls to high gear let it cool down.

VALVE SPRINGS!

Not needed at that power. I'd say studs would be needed before springs. But if you are doing one might as well do the other.

Valve springs on gen2 are softer than gen1. Boost pressure on back of valve makes it even worse. Valve float

Pill the engine. You'll regret it later

Mine have never floated yet.

Stay at 4psi and get a seriously good tune. Respect the fact the ring gaps are set tight from the factory and you will have to cool down between pulls. Watch your fuel quality and get rid of the stock iridium plugs. Detonation is the demon waiting to claim ur motor if you get sloppy. All that said turbo torque is a BLAST,,, !!! If ur not grinning after every twist of the throttle check ur pulse, you may be dead.

RCC and Scott Davis are the best choices for kits = quality components and service after the sale put these guys at the top of the mountain.
