Me Time This is just for conversation. I was having lunch a good friend of mine when we noticed a muscle car shop accross the street. When we finished up we drove over and looked at a few of the nice Chevys and Olds they had in the lot. We intercepted one of the mechnics and asked a few questions about the cars in the lot.
He spotted the prowler and asked to see under the hood. I was happy to pop it up for him. He looked and said, "Not much room in there for a big block." We all laughed a little and I told him about Trey's Hemi.
He then offered up the thought of adding a turbo to the car, I said I'd like to keep it as is but thanked him all the same. The thought has been bouncing around in my head now that I said no to the idea and am wondering what type of HP gain do you all think I could get with an added turbo?
I doubt very much I'd ever go for it so this is just us talking here.
Assume a turbo without adding enough boost to blow the engine. I have a 97' with the cast iron block if that matters to you.
Again just curious and fantasizing a little
ed monahan Do a search with just the word TURBO and you will get lots of info, a lot of it negative, I think.
mslc10 Car already runs hot, don't need anymore under hood heat! Lol!
WildCat Hasn't worked out well on the other Prowlers
Enjoy it as is
beachcat Without an intercooler you can only use a minimal boost. So small that I think it's not worth the effort. There is a guy up here who has a turbo prowler for sale. In talking to him, he is ho humm about the turbo. I think he said 7 lbs max boost but I'm going by memory.
If anyone is interested, it's a mulholland with trailer and comes with the stock engine.
Sorry for the highjack Dave.

Bob Mears I think turbo's are the nuts. But you would have the same problem Trey had, the transmission wont stay together.
Me Time Thanks guys, not looking to add the turbo just day dreaming of what it would be like and it sounds like it would be a headache.
I'll check out the youtube clip later on, thanks.
alrtg I have heard a Paxton Supercharged Prowler and it sounds really really good but am aware these aren't without their issues either. I am happy with the stock motor, gears, and Borla exhaust.
mslc10 Here is a link to a different turbo......
