This is a question that has been ask thousands of times.....SEARCH.

But yes you can turbo ANYTHING. The real question is "is it worth it".

If you are skilled enough go for it, Id rather supercharge it. 4agze sc12 would do the job nice and there is no need to make exhaust manifolds etc. easy as bolt it on(well fab some brackets,air pipes,pully), you can either use draw through or blow through carb setup.

You could run 6 psi boost into a standard engine without too much modification, That would give you a nice power gain.

yeah get the supercharger.

nice thing about that is no need to make manifolds,no oil lines,no water lines,no exhaust modifications but a set of extractors and a 2" systen will be fine.

stick it on the driverside (youll have to fit it upsidedown, youll understand why when you do it) of the engine, stick on a side draft webber on the inlet side, run the shortest pipe you can to the standard inlet manifold removing the carby bolt to where it was, find a aircon or make something for the crank shaft pully for the extra belt and a VN-VP ilder wheel (tightens the fan belt by applying pressure on it, your using a vn-vp coz they run flat belt so you can use it on the top side of the fan belt)

if ya get one with a electric clutch wire it to a positive ignition on.

thats it....go BOOSTIN
