What is the biggest turbo to fit a 84 t type

[turbo6x2]

Okay, just was pretty sure I had read that some where. I know that turbo is a pretty nice set up from stock..

I got that out of a stock turbo.

What setup did you have when you ran 12-13's with a stock 84/85 turbo? Was the car totally stock. I would like to do that with my car if at all possible. When I took my car to the track it ran 14.8 with 6psi of boost 93 octane gas and a blown turbo inlet gasket. I'm pushing 14psi of boost now and replaced the gasket but don't have time to take it to the track. Not to mention it might snow soon so the car might be going into hibernation early.

Turbobuicksix - Yup. I figure if I buy an intake on my own - take it to a shop and have it flow tested and ported (to ensure each cyl flows the same) then bolt it on.

Do I have to do the cyl heads too ????

Jeez...I don't wanna get too stupid and ruin idle, driveability, and anything else I mught screw up in the process.....

Maybe if I gotta do the heads also...i'll use a used set of heads myself too and do it all together...lotta cash though.

I'd just like to do the intake if that'll improve my ET - maybe leave the heads for now.

The trick is not just to have the ports flow equally with respect to each other, but have all the ports flowed at the same time so that you make sure that all the ports are getting equal distribution at the same time...What I'm getting at is one of the weaknesses of the stock 86/7 setup...Cyls 5 and 6 run leaner because they get more airflow, simply because it is a straighter shot into the back two cyls from the throttle body...That is the beauty of the RJC PowerPlate, it redirects the flow so that all the cyls get the same % distribution and none are leaner than others...It doesn't matter if all the ports are capable of flowing 230 cfm if you have one or two cyls not able to utilize the airflow or having some utilizing the full 230 cfm and running leaner than the others because of the distribution problems...
