LOL.. I made a post like this some time ago. I wanted to TT an 83 Camaro Z28.. hopefully yours is newer.. The reason for turboing a 305? Its whats in the engine bay, most likely.

hehe 305s are such garbage but if its in there and you cant swap nothin because of $ might as well turbo it.

nothing wrong with a 305 when you can't afford anything else. I ran with a 305 for a few months - I hated it but I lived.

Boost the ---- out of that thing and make your setup 350 do-able.

Okay, First off, I ------- HATE mulletts.

I live outside this small *** town of 2500 people that is all farmers and hicks. I hate the bitches. I have a CRX w/ a JDM dohc zc. Those bitches at my school are all like "stroke it, over bore it..put posi in that little thing" there are trucks at my school that would seriously have no problem driving over my car.

anyawys, so my other buddy has a camaro. he is currently lookin for a 400 small block to build up for it...and yeah it has the bad *** 305 in it. I cracked the joke that we should put a pair of turbos on the 305 becuase he is all interested in how im putting a turbo on my crx. so he is like, okay i'll put a grand towards it if you want to build it.

the fact is that in this area, 305s are ------ worthless. shops will set them by the trash hopeing poeple will take them awayt so they dont have to pay the $10 to have the junkyard take them.

that car has the tuned port injector or whatever the ---- right so it is fuel injection so turbos will work great wtih them.

all of the hicks in this area will be like, what the ---- are those.

and it doesn't matter if we blow the ---- out of this motor...it is going to be pulled anyays...might as well blow the heads off so we dont' have to take them off.



so what would be a good turbo size to start with?

Dont mind these guys they got 4cyl on the brains.Lets take a look at the 305 low compression + for turbo Has same crank as a 350 another + The rods are the same as a 350 another + cyl heads interchange with a 350 Another +.
Head gasket is a solid metal gasket that crushes to .015 thickness another +
Has the tune port injection system another + but not really neeed.
The 305 engine a negative in everyones eyes.But the + to it is readily availible.Like a d15 dime a dozen....

If i could have gotten those forged pistons for 115.00 bucks i would have boost a 305 instead of 283. 20 to 25 psi boost before something would let go.Would run like a rapped ape in the mean time.
Anyway if you gonna twin turbo it i would start get a pair of chrysler lebaron turbos or pair of mitsu turbos which i beleive they are a lil smaller quick spool.If you got any other questions email ill help you out i got knowledge in the turbo domestic area.
Go for it boost it till she blows all other sbc will bolt in when she does an you got a wide range of motors to swap in when she goes....
