turbocharged quad-4????

bill dedman · 07-05-2007, 01:00 AM

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 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.

Appreciate the info!

Mark, the consensus at SLP Performance is.... "they are not sure."

That, from the three techs working today.

Hard question...

Thanks again.

Bill, as you may remember I ran a 2.8 V6 Cadillac FWD for many years with GM sponsorship through Hydramatic. The Quad 4 Olds was my main competition for many years. The fastest I remember being the one fielded by Russ Abrams. To my knowledge no Quad 4 was ever produced, from the factory, with a turbo. BTW the Quad 4 was first produced in 1989 in the Olds Calais. You might want to contact Russ at GM Hydramatic, he currently runs a SS/IA Pontiac Firebird and posts on both forums.Jim

Jim,

I had already talked to Russ, and he'd agreed with you that there were NO turbocharged Quad 4's ever sold to the public in an OEM application.

I didn't think there were.

Thanks for the info!!!
