Has anyone ever tried to Turbocharge a 2.3L 4 cyl. Vega?????
I'd like to try and do it myself, but need a lil info on an exhaust manifold.....
If you have any thoughts or info, please let me know...
Thanks,
Jeff

The Si impregnated unsleeved aluminum cylinders are not at all suited to the combustion temps generated by a turbo. You'll have a smoky motor with serious blowby issues in no time.
If turbo is what you're after, then a better idea would be to research an iron duke swap, then turbo that one. Not only will the cast iron block handle the combustion temps, but you can also get forged pistons for that motor, another necessity for longevity under boost.
Good Luck!
