Putting a couple turbos on should be pretty simple.
Have fun paying for someone to rebuild your motor, gonna cost a fair bit especially if you go to the stealership (I'm thinking ATLEAST like 2k?).

the cost to rebuild at a dealership would be a lot, think cost of your car or more. clean up the car a little and just enjoy it for what it is.
the only shop that works on these cars (and knows what he is doing) is George at GTRacing down in surrey: http://www.gtracing.ca/
604-764-1440 is his personal cell number. Quote:

i agree with your rebuild comment though. Quote:

i agree with your rebuild comment though. | I was going for the lol factor  There's no N/A car you can simply "bolt on" turbo's, gonna require some work. Albeit some cars much less than others but still work nonetheless.
And ya, paying someone to rebuild an engine scares me.

Trying to understand what you're saying...
You wanna rebuilt it because it's worn and you wanna do it before it breaks the transmission? Not followin you here bro.
And what makes you think it's worn? How's the oil look? Any funny sputters or bogging under acceleration? High miles don't mean it's "worn", it's all how you take care of your machine.

Have you considered putting in some punctuation before you put in the turbos?

this is the sohc 6g72: 
this is the dohc 6g72: 
this is the 6g72tt (taken from my own car): 
go back up and compare your engine to those pictures. im trying to help you like everyone else in here.
there is no need to rebuild your engine if its running fine. fix that oil leak and your good to go. what makes you think its worn?

when you start dumping money into this thing, don't think it makes your cars value anymore.
your car is worth as much as being stock.
This thread just reminds me of those overpriced cars... like people who dump lots of money into a civic and then expect to sell it for like $20k.

mods don't add value to the car.
in fact, it may even turn down some buyers just because they would like things to be untouched.

Instead of putting money towards an engine rebuild and adding turbos,
Hire an English tutor.

I have an R/T Twin Turbo  I wouldn't trust a Dodge dealership to even know what kind of car it is. Ditto on George at GTRacing, not sure where else over there has experience but the guys on 3Si will help you out! I'm on the island.
Just saw your post on 3si, I'm Coal.
I think people are not understanding you mean due to lack of punctuation. Try using some! Absolutely no reason to rebuild your engine unless there's a problem with it. Always keep maintenance above modding though, and like others have said, mods don't increase value. Cars depreciate, they're not an investment.
You absolutely can turbo an SOHC or DOHC and some people have found some really impressive results, but it's pretty retarded being how cheap twin turbos are now.
