Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Forced Induction sunbird 2.0 turbo

im going to be picking up a 1990 sunbird turbo for my project car, ive been searching on the net, and the jbody forums for some info, but they seem to be clueless over there.. more interested with bodykits..

anyways, its a OHC 2.0 with a T2 turbo, non intercooled, with forged rods/pistons/crank, i plan on intercooling it, getting a bov, apexi boost and fuel controllers, intake exhaust blah blah, basically im gonna get this car into the 13's and just make my contour handle good

anyone ever own one of these, or have any info? seems to be hard to find, a rareish car as well, havent seen too many around

anyways, TIA

Don't know much about that specific car but I have been doing alot of work with my Daytona and learned alot of modding a car that already has a turbo.
Couple things you want to do first. 2 3/4 or 3 inch mandrel bent exhaust with same size downpipe and hi flowing dynomax muffler. This will keep back pressure down, keeps your wastegate from opening early and then you can up the boost. Dawesdevices.com makes a real easy grainger valve manual boost controller that is simple and cheap, and almost no spiking. Any questions just send me a PM and I can throw some more info your way
