I currently have 81 Regal with a built N/A V6. I originally built this as a N/A car with the intention of modifying a centrifugal supercharger, but am contemplating a turbo. It has a single plane intake, Kenne Bell 2R cam (some specs in signature), forged pistons (9.25 to 1), 4.10 gears, and a turbo 350 with a 3400 stall converter. It is a turbo block, crank, rods, and ported heads with the big SS valves.
This is somewhat of a "run what you brung" type of car. I had the car, block, trans, and other parts and pieced it together. My question is, what turbo would best suit the car in it's current combination? I know changing gear/converter/cam would probably open up my options, but with 3 kids I don't want any more work than necessary. My plan is to source stock or aftermarket 86/87 headers and downpipe, but will be "blowing-through" a Holley carb. I was estimating roughly 15lbs or so, and am up in the air on intercooling (none, chemical, air/air, water/air). Oh yeah...and I dont want to spend the kid's inheritance on this...not opposed to used/knock-off parts within reason.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
