87 FX16...Turbo?kellythehunter 11-01-2005, 12:46 PM I'm gettin an 87 FX16 with the 4age engine in about a month. The engine has 150k on it and as such I plan on rebuilding it. After rebuilding it, I'd like to turn the car into somewhat of a sleeper by turbo charging it. Where can I get a turbo for this engine and what other things would I have to do to the engine so that putting the turbo on it wouldnt destroy the engine? Thanks for all your help guys.

It might be cheaper to use a 4A-GZE then to turbo a 4A-GE besides the GZE is already built for forced induction drift_ae86_91 11-01-2005, 02:52 PM 94_rolla_guy [QUOTE][could just put a 4A-GZE engine in it, i mean your planning to rebuild the 4A-GE anyways.

A pupose built turbo engine will put more power down, more reliably than slapping a turbo on an NA car.
