I have done a lot of searching this morning and have found a ton of info. I guess I am just a dumb <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> when it comes to turbo though cause most of what I read makes no since to me.
What I do know is that a turbo works off of the exhaust to spin a turbine which is routed to the intake system and it forces more air into the intake system which in turn calls for more fuel and causes more detionation equalling more power produced. And also....well nevermind thats about all I know. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
What I don't know is all the technical dynamics of making an efficent turbo system work.
I have thought about putting a very conservative turbo on the 2.6 in my P'up. All I'm looking for is a few more ponys to get power-to-weight ratio up a bit. My P'up is a Daily driver so dependability and efficientcy is key here.
I have a neighbor that I helped pull a Chrysler 2.5 factory turbo engine out of his Caravan. He was going to put the engine in a car but that fell through so I may be able to pick up all of his turbo parts if I can make them work on a 2.6. His motor however has a forged crank and rods and he was running anywhere from 9-16lbs of boost. No where near what I want.
Anyway could some turbo savy pepole dumb-it-down for me and help me understand what it is I need to do to turbo my 2.6? In the mean time I'm gonna hit the WWW and learn a bit more.
Thanks, Chad
