Turbo or small block... - GoFuckYourself.com

Trying to help my lil' bro make a decision. What do you guys think. Project car is an S10. He currently has access to a one of kind turbo kit, headers, etc. for his current 4 cyl... or he can drop in a 327 for around same amount of mod work/costs... both he will lose all accessories, drop in sound system losing extra battery, air conditioning... etc. What do you guys think?

i am going to say turbo just because i love the sound of a blow off valve

munki · 09-29-2005, 02:54 AM

Oh yeah, forgot to mention its getting bagged as well... so weight is an issue.

Id go with the 327.

Oh and for shits and giggles, a 3 on the tree. Always fun in a truck.

turbo tweak it and it will rock

If it's a decent 327 it's going to make more power than the stock 4 cylinder with a turbo and it will be steady power, you won't have to wait for the turbo to kick in.

The 4 cylinders in S10's aren't really all that hot to begin with.

Might be easier to do the turbo though I guess.

Just checked and if it's a 2.2 they only have like 120 hp at 5000 RPM. Pretty weak motor to bother investing any money in. Go with the 327.
