i have a 2.0 and want to run a turbo on it like brad. or something close to what he has in the pangra, or what pintony has in his purple people eater. wondering what the mpg was like and how much hp approx. it puts out.  also im looking for some options that will get me a good deal of HP with the most mpg and without body or firewall mods. any ideas would be awesome.
Hey Skrach,
Almost scary power. (Well.. now that I'm 40 but not when I was 18) ;D and 25+ mpg if your just cruzing.
BUT not near as scary as how much $ I have in the engine and componets+ I'm adding some NEW X-pensif toys.

What do you say Brad 200hp fairly easy???
tony or brad do you have a kit for a 2.0? and how much do they run?
The Hp rating for a 72/73 Pangra was 175hp. That said, they used a stock head and old technology. My Black Pangra should put out about 250 hp+.

Hello Skrach,
I just picked up this sweet engine.
I have the engine not the rail.
This car runs a 2.0 engine, turbocharged and intercooled, with a single sidedraft Weber carb. The car runs 9.74 @
130 mph in the quarter, and wipes out quite a few very surprised V8 cars. If you'd like more info on this unique race car,

Yes, I would say a stock AK Miller turbo kit with 10 psi boost, stock cam and head with current premium gasoline and water injection will put out 175-200 hp depending on carburation and ignition state of tune. Getting the carb and ignition dialed in is critical for extracting maximum power in this application.
any one selling one?
