Can I turbocharge my VK?

[slimeone]

A friend told me VL's were easy to turbocharge because they have Nissan engines. I want to turbocharge my straight 6 VK. Or is it easier to put a VL engine in first? Any thoughts? :drink:

Is your car efi or carby?

he has the same idea, and is turboing a 202 EFI

Yeah the engine uses a carby. It also has an auto transmission. Is it a stupid idea to turbocharge an auto? I checked out that link, seems pretty serious, I was hoping to keep it simple. Thanks for the link.

to be honest you would be better of putting a small blower on it there cheep and easy to put on will give you noticable grunt without costing fortune .blower of toyota they sell on ebay from 250-350

Nothing to say you can't do it other than your bank balance.. Small supercharger would be the go , but not as upgradable as a turbo set up..

Mike Vine Turbochargers or similar name from Capalaba in Brisbane is an absolute lengend with Holden straight 6's and turbochargers. Its a piece of piss really, just fork over the dollars and the old six will roar like the space shuttle

yeah you can turbo it and ebay would be the place to look, but first go and see an expert and see what turbo the sugest
