turboing a truck with an engine and a a 5spd? noone's done that. 1991 or 1989 works, but not 1990

correction you can on the 90 model only with an auto tranny though...........



Just messing around... Yes Im sure it has been done before. You just have to do a lil searching. Try google " Results 1 - 10 of about 1,340,000 for turbo s10. (0.19 seconds) "

The 2.5 Iron Duke is a great engine stock, the instant you add power or revs the crank will snap in ten places.

Running an FMU on an early 90s GM whose ECU (or one that tucks right in place) is hackable with cheap gear and free software is, uhm, ------- retarded?

Re: turbo S truck
 
the motor is not the iron duke, its a rollerized motor from factory. do your homework
