The low horsepower engines are not meant to handle the increased load
of that turbo. The turbo engines have special strengthened crankshaft,
camshaft, valves, bearings, a pressure retard instead of vacuum advance
on the distributor, provisions in the shrouding for the turbo exhaust
pipes, special heads with blocked off vacuum balance tubes and an oil
drain on the right head for the turbo, an oil feed off of a tee that is
where the oil pressure switch would normally go but is also there, the
fuel filter is different, the fuel lines are different, it has a
harmonic balancer rather than a standard crank pulley, that's all I can
think of that is different with the turbo engines at the moment. Do you
really want to do all this for a short term project?
