the age old question is why would you want to?

[Lethalrides2k3]

cause its different thats why everyone has a small block or big block so why not do a twin turbo 2.8 instead

I've seen pics of a Datsun 510 (iirc) w/the twin turbo 2.8. He autocrossed the sucker.

then there are those who say 1 turbo chosen right is allyou need.

thnx man ima email them and see if they have anything bolt on for the car or if its all custom stuff,cause id really love to have a twin turbo 2.8 in my gf's car instead of dropping in the small block 355 i just built for her only prob i would see is getting a trans adapter to drop in the t56 trans i have for her car, the only thing i really dont liek about putting a twin turbo 2.8 in her car is more then likely its gonna be a one off turbo setup that i wont be able to build and will have to pay somone to do,my gf's car when we started we aggreed that it everything done to it was gonna be by me and her.She has helped with everything so far from the complete engine build to suspension/interior work.Gota love a girl that can work on here own car.hell she assembled the whole short block herself

[turbo_jimi]

no prob, hope it works out for you. btw, you can try STS Technologies for a rear mounted turbo...heard good things about them...just do a google search.

no need for a rear mounted turbo setup theres plenty of rooom under the hood with the 2.8 motor

[Lethalrides2k3]

fuck it weve decided that to make the bottom end of the 2.8 to be able to handle twin turbo setup is going to be to costly.Specially since we have a just about ready to go 355, a single turbo would be doable but not as fun nor make the same kinda power. so were just gonna go with the small block for now. if i can find another rs for sale cheap and in good condition we may go for a turbo setup.

hey that's cool.... so you don't know anything about anything huh?

[Nate Dog 69]

doh!!!!!!!!

the right single turbo cain make jsut as much powah!!!! as a twin setup.

and not all 2.8's need to be built up to handle a turbo

[Lethalrides2k3]

for what me and the gf had planned the 2.8 would deff need a strong bottom end, we wernt just gonna bolt on a single/dual turbo setup and run a lil bit of boost,
