So I have a extra magnum v8 layin around that I plan on putting in my truck but I kinda want to do something fun with my v6 so I thought why not ebay twin turbo it😂 I know it's stupid and absolutely ridiculous but I have nothing better better to do.

so here's the question...
​​​​​What all should I do to prep my engine for turbo chargers? I know I'll need better fuel components and a tune but is there anything to look out for? (other than the ebay turbos being unreliable) Has anyone done this before? I would like to.do this for fun but not just blow it up. I know it will eventually but what can I do to prevent it.

 

Many articles say that if the motor is in good shape you are good for 8 psi boost

 

thanks could you send me a link to those articles?

 

Oh that was years ago lol. Someone did it and was asking. The bottom ends are stout. They are good for 12 but I would keep it around 8

 

Pretty much any factory engine in decent condition can tolerate 7-8 PSI boost. That's been a 'rule of thumb' for decades. Just make sure you have the means to give it adequate fuel, in the correct proportions, and it should work just fine.

 

Hmm I now have something else to research and buy parts for getting up to snuff - definitely following!

 

The hardest part (to me) is plumbing oil to them
