Question what components do I need to convert a non-turbo 91 laser to a turbo one

Hi

I am new to these cars, basically I was given a non turbo 91 Plymouth Laser in lieu of a $400 debt, the car is decent body wise and has a few minor mechanical difficulties but nothing I cant handle. Now to my question, I want to turn this car into a turbocharged model, and I was wondering if anyone could give me a complete component breakdown of what I need, I assume I need to run the computer from a turbo model, and obviously I will need the turbo and exhaust manifold as well, but do I need larger injectors? is the wirining harness diffrent? etc.

Any info you can give me would be great

thanks a lot

Which engine is it, the 2.0 L non turbo engine or the 1.8 L non turbo engine. That will have a big difference on what parts you will need.

engine in 91 Plymouth Laser

Hi

its a 2.0L DOHC non-turbo motor, with a automatic tansmission, hope this helps so you can let me know all I need to make this a turbo car, usually I do 4 cylinder to V8 conversions on Mustangs so this will be a little diffrent for me


thanks for the help

I looked down this road for quite awhile and decided to just get a turbo car, there is a ton of stuff you'd need.

If you really want to do it though, I suggest you read Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. It is an awesome book and will give you all of the insight you need in to actually making the project successful, it can be found at the link below.... Good luck!
