FINALLY GOT THE DAVID VIZARD HOT RODDING YOUR 2.0 BOOK THANKS TO A MEMBER HERE.ON THE REAR COVER IS A PIC OF A PINTO OWNED AN RACED BY JAMES FLYNN.IT SAYS HIS 2.0 WAS 400 HORSEPOWER ANYBODY HAVE ANY INFO OR INSIGHT TO HIS CAR AN SETUP??
Read the book section on turbocharging..............
a bit more detail would be really helpful for those of us who do not have access to the book
SRT I READ IT BUT ALL THAT TURBO TALK HAD MY HEAD SPINNING DUE TO KNOWING NOTHING BOUT TURBOES
Oh my gosh, do you really want to go to the expense of Cosworth 16 valve heads, turbo, compression ratio that would require high octane race gas, a cam so hot you could not use it on the street, etc.
If you want that much power, better to put in a V-8
NO TALKING ABOUT A COSWORTH.I WAS WONDERING ABOUT RUNNING A TURBO ON A 2.0 IN MY 73 RUNABOUT
Just read about George Ohio Montgomery's 74 2.0 turbo motor.it was reportedly pushing 500 horsepower with 26lbs of boost.totally crazy for a 4banger.makes me jealous if only I knew what he did
If you liked that, then read up on Buddy Ingersoll too.

Thought I'd just look that up real quick, and read about it. I've been copy/pasting and reading for hours now! Those early turbo guys must have had some deep pockets to refine their systems to those levels. I can just picture a pile of hole filled pistons in a smokey heap behind the shop. Some really great reading!
WHEN ITCAME TO MOTORS OHIO AND BUDDY SEEM LIKE GENIUS
