    Default Is it possible to add a turbo on a man 86VL

    I have a stock 86 man VL Commodore. I am planning of turbo charging my car. Is this a possible target. My salary cap is $5000.

    My car is in good condition and I would like to turbo charge the motor in it rather than putting a reco turbo motor in it.

    you can but the 86 blocks don't have the turbo supply/drain holes drilled into them as the 87/88 blocks do....so you have to drill and tap the holes into them.....

    You would assume correct, however an interesting note is that even the series one RB20 engines had the ports.
