turbocharged quad-4????
Was there EVER a car sold by G.M. (of any brand, any year) with a turbocharged Quad 4 engine? I am trying to find out if such a car was ever sold to the general public.
Thanks for any info... Bill |
Re: turbocharged quad-4????
Bill I don't believe there was ever a factory produced turbo-quad4. I was a service manager for a Pontiac store for 20 years and I never saw one. But to be sure call the folks at SLP in Toms River NJ 732-349-2109. If anyone would know they will.

Thanks, Mark. I'll do that.
Appreciate the info! Bill |
Re: turbocharged quad-4????
Mark, the consensus at SLP Performance is.... "they are not sure."
That, from the three techs working today. Hard question... Thanks again. :) Bill |
Re: turbocharged quad-4????
I might be able to shed some light on this. I belong to a Quad 4 forum. Can email me at rseibenick @hotmail.com. Ron

Try locating either Arlen Fadely or Paul Gentilozzi they worked/raced for Olds probably still have some connections at GM... Comp387

Re: turbocharged quad-4????
Wasn't there a turbo skylark in 86 or 87? Just going by memory here, but we had an 87 Buick Service manual and I remember seeing a turbo skylark. Don't know if it was a quad 4 or not.
Didn't AJ Foyt set a closed course speed record in a turbo charged quad-4? I think the engine was done by Batton or McLaren, as I worked with one of the guys who did the engine. |
Re: turbocharged quad-4????
Chris, I think you're right on the Foyt deal, but I think that was a one-off engineering exercise, not a production motor. I'll have to chack on the Skylark. I would bet it wasn't a Quad-4, though...
Thanks for the input. Bill |
Re: turbocharged quad-4????
FED,
Thanks for the advice and info. I wouldn't have a clue as to how to get hold of either one of those guys. This is not that big of a deal, anyway; I just was trying to determine the veracity of a story I heard about a Quad-4 with what appeared to be a "factory" turbo installation, that a guy saw in a junkyard. I don't believe there was ever a turbo offered in a production car with the Quad-4 motor. But, I've been wrong before... :) Lotsa times...... Bill |
