what I'm asking about more than likly has been asked a thousand times before, so just direct me to the topic / tread to make life easy on everyone. If you want to go into full on discription that would be great also.
My game plan is to pick up a donor engine, '96 2.3L, dual plug head from a wrecking yard in Eureka. Tear down, strip the head & ship to Boport to have it ported / polished to the max.
Next the build up, have the list of goodies I need, found the tread w/pics as in the turbo oil return tapped into the block, (can't remember where for the life of me, in a time crunch right now):banghead:
OK, here with my questions; I'm going to get a oil cooled turbo kit w/inter cooler. Have th pics for the oil return fitting location, totaly excellent, but it's 1/2" x ?, (number of thread per inch). Where is the oil feed located?
As in getting the turbo kit, the the turbo manifold, (From this site), I'm going to need that bracket, 2 turbo mount bolts to the one valve cover bolt? What else am I going to need to get? Intake manifold, stock / turbo? Saw a cool turbo on ebay w/"2.3 turbo" cast on it, but it's gone now, snooze ya loose.
I'm sure there a ton of stuff I'm not covering, just throw your 2 cents in to where I can learn about installing a turbo on a '96 2.3.L
