turboing the horizen

daguse5853Z · 08-09-2008, 04:58 PM

I have an 89 horizen auto and i kind of want to put a turbo on it from another 2.2l k-car. how plausible is it? I'm pretty sure most everything will bolt up since the 2.2l are the same, right? I'm a chevy guy btw. should I be able to just switch out the chip in the pcm, is there even a chip? chevy guy again. will i have to upgrade my fuel pump? do the 2.2l turbo have a larger injector in the TB? I'll prolly put a trans cooler on. any advice or websites that might help me find out more would be awesome. thanks

Pistons, compression ratio for sure. A better block, crank and rods ...diff head and springs ..I think.
