alright well i have a 92 camaro with a 305 i just goof around with. my question is this: ( and i apologize if its ridiculous) but i have a turbo off an international school bus, is there a way i can fabricate it to work on a car? id go with a carb instead of the tbi but is that at all feasible? even if i blow off most of the boost?

i know a while back some guy used a tractor turbo in his 5.0 mustang and ran like 10s if i remember

 

i dont know about that turbo but i have seen s-10 v8 headers flipped (pointing forward and up) used for a similar budget turbo build on a 3rd gen. just an idea

 

Creative, but boost leaks FTL

 

The IHC turbo is about the right size but it's really designed for low rpm diesel operation. It would work but not as good as a turbo designed for a gas engine. The IHC diesel turbo only makes about 28 psi boost maximum.

The IHC engine is probably a 7.3L, 444 CID.

Thin tube headers won't work with a turbo. They can't handle the heat or the weight.

 

cool thanks for the reponses so far,

since this is a super budget oriented project, ill probably use the stock manifolds, but where would i be able to find "thick" exhaust tubing, that wont melt from the heat of the turbo.

me>you- what do you mean by that, i plan on blowing off most of the boost through a valve- keep in mind this is somewhat of a joke, i want it to sound like a hurricane. i dont care what it realy runs lol
