yea i guess i will just turbo my motor. but i will wait a little bit before i do it because i am not that mechanically compitent yet but i will when i am. Do you know about what psi i can run? I am going to change the connecting rods and the pistons, and i am going to bore it a little.

 

u should look for these motors in the fort lauderdale/miami area..youd get one easily.

 

where online? i have spent like 8 hrs looking and only found like 2 places and they are in like michigan

 

Can you at least say you went to mx6.com? Or probetalk.com? They're probably the biggest resources for parts and cars you'll find.

Just understand that the n/a transmission won't hold up to the standard 145/190 hp/tq of the turbo engine. Will you be satisfied with stock numbers after doing a full conversion? I doubt it. So expect to bust a transmission in a month. Yes people have done the turbo on n/a transmissions. And I'm sure some survived longer. But I figure with all the work involved already, you're better off getting the transmission at the same time.

I'm not mechanically inclined much either. But you will learn. It's the only way to do anything without breaking the bank.

Look for someone junking a 1st gen GT with engine/transmission/turbo in good condition. It DOES happen. I know someone hopefully trading in her '88 MX-6 GT for a newer car. The car is so messed up otherwise, that it'll probably go to auction. Probably better to recondition a GT than try to convert an n/a.

I believe stock they come at 7psi, and can go up to 12 or 14 before the ECU runs out of mapping. Doesn't mean your fuel pump or injectors can though. Without the GT ECU, you'll need another management system I do believe. So take that into consideration while you're at it.

All things considered, it'll be nice to have another 1st gen around on the boards when you do finish. All the ones I've seen have just been changing hands...nobody keeping it to drive and post on here.

 

I was letting anyone who was interested know that the engine is not damaged bad considering it can be run the way it is. Not that it had a blown head gasket and it wont run anymore, that would mean their is major damage!

toni homo 69, rub your 2 brains cells together, it may stimulate them enough to allow you to drink water and keep your dumb ass alive long enough to recive more insults from me ! ! !

 

yea i dont know what im goin to do but i will be boosting and i will try to be a little fast. no one expects a 1st gen probe to kick their ass

 

If I were you I'd sell your probe and buy a MX6 GT or Probe GT, which are both turbo. They aren't too much money and if you look around town many car lots/people sell them and don't even know they have a turbo. I would love to have an MX6 with basic upgrades for a daily driver.

 

there is one by my bros house for like $1295 it is a probe gt

 

Better be in really good shape for $1300.

 

I think he meant the whole car, but either way it should be in decent shape for over $1000 I think.
