has any body been running turbos with propainas main fuel system if so.

so i got a 1985 gmc sierra 2wd long box for a bottle of wiskey. it has a 305 with a cam but its on propain. i'm going to build a big block for it this winter but for now i want to go fast or blow the motor up figured the coolst way to do it is with a cheep turbo. I want to know what cars to look for at the junk yard that would have turbos that would work for me i think two small turbos would be good enugh for the little project.

 

If you just want to have fun destroying it id say just put a big shot of nitrous on it. Probably alot easier than fabbing a turbo kit together

 

Sounds like fun! If you had a way to get the afr right under boost I don't see why it wouldn't work. I think propane is higher octane, cooler charge, and burns hotter than gas. Might be a raped ape. Diesels shoot it on top of tons of boost.

 

let er buck chuck!

 

ya propane suposed to run like 110 octane so its got the jam but how do i set the air fule up. i thought about nos but ive wanted to experament with turbos for a while so this is a good chance to do so.

so now where can i get a turbo for cheep like what kind of wrecked cars should i look for to get going or should i just buy a 67mm and have at her. ill post pics as it comes to life.

 

There aren't really any turbos that would work well off another setup I don't think. But maybe twins off a supra or a 300zx maybe??? Def keep us posted it would be awesome to see just how much that lil motor could take lol
