Vehicle: 1995 Buick LeSabre; 3.8L V6


Inquery: Is it possible, though certainly impractical, to put a turbo from a Grand National (dosn't matter what year) into my 95' Buick Lesabre?


Does anyone know where I can/should go to get more information on the turbo (i.e. specifications, parts, pricing, etc)?


Thank you for your time.

the problem would be the internal workings. a naturally aspirated engine has much higher compression that a turbo engine. the lower compression in the turbo motor allows you to safely run more boost. for instance, the pre-boost compression of a grand national engine may be something like 7 to 1, which when the boost is added, is upped to 9 0r 10 to 1..(not sure on their compression)...an NA engine is already at 9-10 to 1...also, the factory forced induction engine may have much better internal parts, such a forged instead of cast rods, pistons, etc.
