Hey, I am new to the forum here and I was just wondering if anyone knows if I would be able to turbo a b17a1 with out rebuilding it?
I was just thinking of upgrading my fuel system and just keeping the boost at like 10psi max. I would upgrade the headgasket to a better metal one. Would this be OK? I need the car to be reliable for highway driving but still quick for goin to the track and such. If you can help me please post. Thanks El Nagro. |

Yes you can boost a b17 if you take car of the fuel and run low boost you should be fine. As for your gaol of 10psi, why dont you make a power level your goal, and then you can work form there.

10psi wasnt realy a goal just wondering if it would be possible to do 10psi on a b series. I accualy dont even own the car my friend does and he wants to make it fast so..... I went to the wreckers with his and we got a audi k26 turbo for $50. He wants to use it and I was just wondering for both me and his sake how far it could be pushed and still be reliable. I myself am still trying to figure out what to do as a project a fast import or a mini truck.
