3156, Lower compression for turbo???
Posted by Neo_966, Mar-26-01 02:03 PM
im going to put a turbo on my 93 Eagle Talon Es (non-turbo). ive heard things about having a high compression rate is bad while using a turbo. should i get a turbo head, or change the pistons to a lower compression???? i would really like help on this problem. if you have any info, or have installed a turbo on a Es (non-turbo) please write me at Speedracer0011@aol.com
thank you,
Neo

You are actually pretty fortunate because you have a 4g63
under your hood so basically all the turbo hardware will bolt
right up to your block. (manifold, turbo, ic pipes, intercooler,etc..) some modification may be required.
If you want to play it safe you can swap out your pistons/rods for a set of 95+ pistons/rods.. you can get those fairly cheap. I saw a set on the parts trader going for $75 !!

However if you choose to turbocharge w/ your stock internals
keep the boost under 10psi !!

A good idea would be to get a set of GST injectors, and swap them into your ride along with an adjustable Fuel pressure regulator.

Good luck !
