Dear Turbo-
Yes can turbocharge any engine. The question is how much money do you want to spend.
You need to be prepared to spend from $1200.00 to $3000.00 just for the turbocharger.
You have not gotten to the $4000.00 worth of engine work that you are going to do to make it run correctly, and the additional $4000.00 to $5000.00 for the custom designed intake and exhaust manifolds. Then you get to talk about exhaust work, that is going to be another $2000.00 for a decent system.
Not if you add all of this up, you need to ask yourself if the car is really going to be worth it.
Its a Nissan Pulsar! Maybe worth about $1500.00 to $2000.00?
If you are going to hop up a car, then do one that will be worth it on the other end.
Like say a 1974 Datsun 280ZX?
Good Luck!

you can but the engine can hold it even a small one maybe a 10psi max but if you want to go faster just lighten the car up a bit more
