You know that saying "There's a time and a place for everything'"?, I think your idea of turboing a starfire has proved that wrong
i wouldn't bother trying to turbo a starfire, they aren't a good engine and would more than likely not handle the boost. you'd be better off using the money to do an engine swap for something like a 202 or a V8.
don't worry i have tried to talk him out of o so many stupid random idea's but he wont listen!!! lol...and he don't mind spending money to get what he wants...this is the guy that gets the whole front end of his vl (k-frame, struts etc) power coated because it was dusty...
1 things for sure whether its worth it or not i'd like to see a turbo starfire
ALSO i told u that u wouldn't be able to keep it stock!
turbo a starfire? FAIL.
i'll turbo a starfire oneday.its on my list of things that need to be done......
the germans designed it, the aussies built it, the japs got it moving and the wogs got it dosing...
I reckon go for it, its probably been done before but, not wide spread.

seen it done before in a uc torana
It will be a fail but would be something cool to do especially if you could get some decent boost into it haha![]()
i re-phrase that: funny fail. id just like to see an old commo with a BOV goin past ricers lol.
the germans designed it, the aussies built it, the japs got it moving and the wogs got it dosing...
im putting triples on my starfire even if i have to blank off one of the carbies they look so cool
Why bother with 1/2 a motor 2/3s of a motor has potential but not half.

Hook the turbo up to your starter motor instead - you'll get more power than the Starfire could ever put out.
