anyone ever turbo their 5.2l too the moon for big power?

before my ram i had a turbo 2.3l ranger with 300 to the ground on a dyno. i wanna see what i can push out of this thing.

 

I could be wrong but I thought I read on here one time that these trucks don't like turbos

 

I`m sure it would be ok if you tore it down and built it to handle the turbo. There is a video on youtube of some guy blowing up a 5.2 with a turbo.

HA HA HA i love that guy's guage pod

 

It is doable but be prepared to do some serious upgrades on your truck first.
i have seen some 2nd gen trucks that were turboed but the motor had been rebuilt to handle the extra air flow, and the tranny, and rear end were built too.
IMO a turbo on a 318 is not a good thought, but to each their own
If you do plan on buying a turbo you might want to check out STS remote mounted turbos.

 

wtf he gauges on a cardboard? lol someone tell him to go to home depot and the plastice scrap area lol

 

i would do a supercharger if it was me. i think they suit our motors better.

 

but turbo's on small block v-8's sound so cool...

unless you compare them to KB blown ones haha

 

HAHA what a clown. He's only off on the weight of the truck by about 1300-1500 lbs. I wish I could get my truck down to 3500 lbs and keep everything intact. His must be made of that mega lightweight metal "Unobtanium" lol Whoever spent the money on that truck wasted all of it. I bet the first time you tried to run that truck hard you'd hole a piston in no time at all. He could have spent a fraction of that on a good nitrous system and had a fun truck. IMO it's too hard to tune a boosted Dodge with the factory electronics. This is coming from a guy who had a 1986 GLH turbo Omni pumping 26 psi of boost and knows a little bit about boosted applications. Theres a reason you see a lot of blowers for sale for these trucks, they all are problematic at best.
