Turbulence
06-10-2006, 01:54 AM
I'm thinking of turboing the 89 2.2 n/a in my 89 Horizon until I can affort to rebuild the 2.5 out of my van (rip), and I have a few questions.
The head on the Hor at the moment is a swirl I believe. What would the compression be if I put a G head on it?
My thinking is put the G head/intake/exhaust/garret from my 2.5 on the 2.2 and keep boost in the single digits. Keep stock exhaust system as well.
This would also necessitate a oil drain back in the oil pan.
I would use the wiring/electronics from the van which of course was a 2.5. Would it suffice to use an AFPR and turn down the fuel pressure to make up for the difference 2.5 to 2.2? I have a walbro 255 waiting to go into the tank.
The other question I have is about the coolant return line. Would it work to plumb it into a heater hose, rather than have to drill and tap the block?
Thanks all for your input,
