the sunbirds came with some version of a t2 or small t25. the manifold will fit i believe, good luck finding these parts though.

and even if i found it, id never use it. id just fab my own. the bottom line is, the thought of turboing it has crossed my mind, but honeslty, im not for the fact, even though i have enough parts and old turbos laying around to turbo it for prob 50 doillars, it wouldnt even be fun to drive boosted, and it would only sacrifice the already shitty relability of my daily driven domestic escuse for an automobile

those motors are good for about 200whp on 10lbs of boost, but thats about the max I would run on it
