[93regalcustom]

Hello I'm new here and I have a 93 buick regal custom I would like to turbo it and was woundering what the best turbo would be for my car? Any help or info would be appreciated.

No to discourage you, but it would take a lot of work to get a turbo into that car. Even if you did manage to fabricate a suitable system, the engine would not be able to handle more than a couple of lbs of boost, not to mention the FWD GM trans. Honestly, I wouldnt even know where to tell you to start, short of converting it to rear drive by dropping an LC2 drivetrain in it. And even that would take waaay more work that it would be worth.

Ditto. Sell it and buy a car with a good foundation. Theres a site somewhere out there...havent seen it in many years....its called junkyard turbo or something like that. They take factory superchargers and add them to whatever, or t3 turbos off of thunderbird turbo coupes and make home made systems for extremely cheap, and run 10's-11's for like 1500 bucks. That site, if its still around, may help you decide or come up with something original. Otherwise, sell it and buy a turbo t or GN.

Found the page...its really changed alot since I last saw it...

Yeah, if you want a turbo car, then sell that thing and buy a cheap Turbo Regal. The best you could do with that car is drop in a 3800 series II supercharged engine from a later model regal, Grand Prix or Bonneville. Still, wouldn't have that much power unless you built THAT engine up quite a bit and threw a bunch of boost at it........easier to either buy a V8 car, or go with a TR.
