<VV> TURBO PG

[Matt]

I’ll find out soon!  Putting a SMALL  turbo on my ‘67/110/pg  with 3.27’s  Blow thru  and limited to 5 psi…and NOT  above the fan!!  See pic

  talking with Tom Keosababian last night…I had him “refresh”  my memory.

Wife’s car….EM PG  84 hp     Stock EM  turbo…  YH’s needle valve  referenced to manifold pressure… just like the fuel pump…  she needed it to accel to 70 mph with no “letup”  to get on the LA  freeways……drove it for years… never touched the engine… stock  Distributor!   He reminded me  that because we never use a stock Turbo curve… instead going to 36  BTDC by 1500-2000 rpm….  No wild Boost at Shift!...so simple…

As far as the bud’s turbo… why not  just put a set of rings in it?  Common maintenance for turbo owners that drive the cars hard?  Not just Vairs..

Now, that said:     I know someone who put a modified turbo engine in a 
Corvair with a PG transmission.   Yes it ran very strong and he enjoyed 
it.  In fact he enjoyed it so much he got "into it" a LOT.   It didn't 
take long for it to loosen up, (that's a euphemism for "wear out") and 
eventually begin using oil.   He sold it not long after.

You wanna put a turbo engine in a PG Corvair?   Treat it kindly and 
LEARN how to drive it and how to Tune it, and make sure you run high 
test, as high as you can find, and maybe you can get away with it and 
make it live.   Run it hard, and you'll live to regret the engine that 
won't live.
