Thread: Turbo charger

  1. #1

    Turbo charger

    Would it be possible to put a turbo or two on my 1984 300 i6 4 speed standard? Not for racing... Yet. Right now I just want I little bit more get up but later I might make it into a race/badass farm truck but that might be about 20 years because I ain't leaving this truck lol. I just want to know if it's possible

    lmao I use electrical tape and a ziplock bag to replace the missing weather stripping around the back window of my truck and duck tape and a bandaid box so my grandma would stop complaining about the cold air getting to her and duck taped led flashlights to a push mower to mow my big brother thinks me and my brother are the biggest rednecks he's ever met

    anything is possible with money and time.

    but turbocharging an inline 6...in an older pickup is kind of pointless. you'll spend a couple grand, pickup maybe 40 rwhp, but none of that matters because the I6 was made for low-end torque, the complete opposite of a turbocharger. You would have to build the entire block, upgrade the transmissions and again, after several thousand dollars, your truck will be maybe a second faster in the quarter mile. Top speed will be unaffected because you are limited by your LT tires, drum brakes, and the 4,000 pounds of steel under your butt. Trucks are not meant to go fast. if you want forced induction, and you had a good platform to start from (newer, lighter single cab, maybe 2003-ish with a 5.4L V8) then you could spend a grand and put a supercharger on it and see 12s or 13s in the quarter with a top speed of 130mph. Or you could spend $3,000 and buy a Mustang GT and slap a S/C on it and get 150+ out of it with a 11-13s quarter mile
