My '84 GL doesnt have a turbo but could i put one on it and how hard would it be if so? Also my engine surges while its idleing.??? What causes that by the way i never knew

Actually, being the EA81 has an 8.7:1 compression ratio already, it would handle small amounts of boost without any internal modifications. About 5 Lbs should make a noticeable difference - probably bringing it right up near 95 or 100 HP.

 

Is it worth the trouble? No. But it could be done if you know how to setup a blow-through carb. You still wouldn't get close to the performance of a non-turbo EJ22, and the cost/complexity would both go up.

Its surging because its missing its turbo. Put a turbo on there and it will be fixed :lol:
