Hi I'm a :newbie: and have used this sites tech pages for just about everything I've done to my coupe. I love this car but last night at the drags I realized that it was time to go a little further. I am not mechanicly inclined but, I do know a bit more then your average person. So far the car has been bored .40 over, I had it totally rebuilt at the same time, I've been driving it for just under a year, and I want to turbo charge it but I have no idea what kind of turbo, what I'll need (parts,tools), or what to do to the insides ie. pistons, cams, etc now the shop I had build the motor is awesome and alot of guys stand by his work including me but after the build there has been a fairly bad oil leak, he is standing by his work, and will fix the problem no charge :mike, so i was gonna have him put in new cams while he was at it so here are my questions. Q1. What kind of turbos should I be looking at/for? Q2. What duration should my cams be I think one tech article said stock was 240 248 which I have no idea what that means??? and Q3. Are there any members in the Portland, OR area? Thank you for any help that you could bestow upon me.

its not a small block you dont really need cams unless your trying to squeeze every lttle bit of power out of an NA motor or just want extra power once you turbo it. Check out Ka-t.org and read up there. You should start with a t25 or t28 bottom mount stock sr20det turbo.
