Buick regal can i put a grand national turbo in it?

[noodle]

i got a 1987 buick regal limited v6 3.8l non turbo, can i put a turbo from a grand national in it if so what do i need to do to make it fit. I already plan on getting dual exhaust and headers. Or what else can i do to make this bad boy get up without swaping out the engine.

If cost is an issue you would be better off swapping motor to a V-8, that would be the cheapest route and you can always up grade in the future. A stock 3.8 non turbo motor is set up internally different than a turbo motor. You cant just bolt up a turbo and go, you will fry the motor. You have to re-do the motor for a turbo set up. thats why I suggest just going V-8 out the gate. I had an 87 regal and first swapped in a 350 rocket and she went like a raped ape, but I wanted more so went to a olds 455 now that was the ticket. I was smoking camaros and mustangs at the drag strip left and right. Racing my rocket puts money in my pocket! was stenciled on trunk lid. One kid found out the hard way with daddys vet. costed him $150. Do lots of research.

Better off getting an aftermarket turbo kit.
