Dayle, you have to realize how unlikely it is that this feat can be pulled off.

this is something Ive been looking into for about 2 yrs
and we just did one on a customers car (99 Camaro SS)
and the car is a rocket. I love it.

chances are Ill be starting a kit in the next
few weeks, at least the prototype kit.
the turbo, easy, plumbing, ..easy, more
fuel with ECUtunes help, should be easy.
Safe amt of boost, about 5.7

And it should look something like this
for starters
(btw, for anyone ready to knock this idea down, save your breath about "how bad" and non effective this idea is.
Unless youve driven a car with one like this on it, dont bother criticizing the idea.
Doing the kit wont be all that hard, how long the motor or headgaskets can actually hold up, hard to say.
Depends on the condition of the motor its put on.
But with some new Cometic headgaskets and ARP headbolts, a motor should be okay for 80k miles or more.

Well shiet, you beat me to it. I made a thread about this months ago, and this is exactly how I plan to turbo my SVX. Except, with three times to boost.

These put down phenomenal results, they put 350z at near 400 hp to the rear wheels on like 8 psi. And to top it off, they're dirt cheap. You can buy a full turbo kit for 1650.

why do overboard ??? thats where you are going to always run into problems.
I had honda idiots that come into my shop who
have visions of grandure about running 15 psi
on their b18 blah blah...
why ???? more boost, more obstacles and more
problems.

My goal, simple kit, low cost and little to no
problems and keep it around 8 psi or less..
The whole idea is to keep the car reliable
yet faster.

Its still only a matter of time before I pop a
headgasket, and when I do Ill have the good
gaskets and bolts on the shelf ready to install.
Pull the heads, do a valve job on them while
Im at it later on.

Looks like a great idea. I wish you the best on the project. Good luck! I am looking forward to reading about your results Dale.

BTW: Dale, I'd love to have something like this done but on my XT6, not my SVX. My SVX right now is PERFECT and I feel nothing else needs to be done to it. It has everything done to it engine and transmission wise that I would have wanted done on it and it feels great. My XT6 is in the same boat minus an N/A cam upgrade. This is the reason I'd have this done on that car.
