      G body Turbo

      My current project is a 1981 Olds Cutlass Diesel. I'm planning on changing it to a gas turbo blow thru motor over next winter. My plan so for is to use Olds Dx block 4.08 bore, stock diesel crank offset ground to about 3.9, BBC 6” rods, Rocket Racing heads and intake, CSU E-85 blow thru carb, and Borg Warner S372 or S400 turbo there is more but you get the point. Only going for about 600hp or 10psi what ever comes firsts, do to the fact of stock crank, don’t really want to buy a billet crank big $$$ hopefully it stays together for a year or two. My main head ache is all the pluming, there's a lot going on in the front end with an intercooler and hot and cold piping. Just tring to build a strong g body summer daily drive not an all out race car but any info is welcomed. If any one know of a person running 8v turbo setup in a G body car send them my way with pictures and info if they’re willing to share.
      If I Posted in wrong place plz more post

      Here's mine as currently...

      A little more custom than you're probably looking for, but here ya go. Still a work in progress... (link in sig.)

      There is a lot of room under these hoods, if you get rid of some un-necessary items. I'm tilting the radiator back, which is why I had to kick the turbos out to the side. You can probly get away with running them like a Nelson setup.
