Only unreliable because nobody has ever bothered doing it properly.

Did he do it with forged pistons and steel rods Alex? I remember him doing it but thought it was done the easy (wrong) way.

Tbh, adapted 200sx manifold, t25/28 turbo, uprated clutch, bigger injectors, some form of stand alone, intercooler, pipe work, turbo oil feed and drain..
Could easily run 10psi on standard compression ratio,
Stick a decomp plate in it and you could run 20ish,

Pug/cit lot are doing it on vtr lumps and 16v lumps too much success and quite reliable.

Thanks for the replies, does anyone kno of any project threads? My other option is to put it in bodies but I like the idea of a turbo small block, what was it that made them unreliable?

Most of them are unreliable because people don't sort the fueling properly,

Standalone is best imho, rising rate regs etc aren't really reliable.
