turbo v6 camaro

[rcjg24]

which motor is it? 3.4? I have a 3.4 im going to be putting in my s10 with a roots supercharger running 11 psi. with many other things of course. but it has a holley 4bbl carb. large cam, forged pistons and rods, bigger ratio rocker arms. among other things.

[240pWeMeetAgain]

any chance of selling a copy of those headers, inlet pipe, and downpipe combo?

[farhenheit628of1200]

very nice car man. makes me wanna get an old school camaro

[gkrocka2311]

why were u running no filter in the begining

[Naturalhit]

Of course you know the turbo would work if the cold pipe was connected to the TB.

Just kidding I see that you already did it. You got an awesome set up. I have an 89 Bird, which I'm still having wire issues.

[lethalrides2k3]

@jjohnkane

thanks im in the middle of building another v6 turbo car ( 87 firebird originally a 305 car) and a single turbo 89 iroc with a sbc 400

[snuffybones]

Ya I really wanna get in contact with you for advice and ur horsepower figures and how much boost you can run and comp programing I can't find u build page on that forum anymore

[TheDakafire]

man that is awesome i have an 88 i am thinking of turbo charging just to piss off z28s lol any advice?

[p2dadecka1]

did u need to change any of the engine internals out

and how much did it cost the turbo system and engine

[p2dadecka1]

did u need to change any of the engine internals out

[RFL92b]

i love you idea of turnin 2 of the pipes from the headers and usin that instead of runnin piping and tieing it in somewhere, get more out of it that way. kudos gonna try and turbo mine this summer, who knows though, got everything figured, from the turbo kit to the motor rebuild with a couple hop ups, gonna run me about 1300$

[kutminutzof101]

should've had a V8

[ckn4rf]

Did you have to do a 4.3 throttle body swap, or is it just a chip for the fuel issue?

[charlietow]

something is missing!!

[pionalt]

Man you got me all sorts of jealous. Always wanted to turbo a v6 3rd gen.. I much prefer the weight balance of the v6's to the stiff riding nose heavy z28's and GTA's. I bet you have a fair bit of fun driving this!

[ChrisOBrien69]

im over at thirdgen org and i love reading your turbo builds. your like a v6 god..

[Breakinhowie]

Mcdonald's, the breakfast of champions.

[arnoni11]

How much would it cost i got a 1996 camaro v6 3.8L with 154k and a 60k trany i had a trany put in a few months ago only thing i did put a cold air intake

[bleakhappy]

freaking sexy, i hate people that think fixing up v6s is a waste of time, it might be cheaper to buy a v8 but id rather build my horsepower than buy it...

[josh666675]

but why do u add on a v6 i mean thts sweet sounding and looking but on v6?

[SuperAmericanMuscle]

i have a 89 rs with the 2.8L

like how much am i looking at to put this set up on my carmaro?

[kps2500]

@SuperAmericanMuscle sorry to not answer this but i am in the same deliema and i would Like to know HOW MUCH you spent on all this?

[Naturalhit]

@kps2500 If you did the work yourself it should be no more than 1500. The turbo would be the only most expensive piece.

[thecooler100]

how do i do this to mine?

[jayguy173]

this came stock in the firebird

[TheTalonTsi]

hel yeah v6 turbo for the win, about time v6 camaro got some balls. But once again as always, It'd just b cheaper to do a v8 swap and turbo that! =P

[felixxx3123]

hey man what kind of intake manifold and carburetor is that ? and that throttle body to that thing is sick !

[cartoonboi]

what liter engine is that

[cartoonboi]

what liter engine is that

[evilsadvocate]

wow thats fucking wild, what did you do to the wiring and computer?

[lethalrides2k3]

@evilsadvocate i went with a megasquirt engine management system

[corekid420]

did you tune you ecm???? and if so who did the work or are you running a stand alone fule managment system????????

[lethalrides2k3]

i am running a megasquirt standalone that i tune myself

[devin95g]

@lethalrides2k3 what exact megasquirt system do u have, and could u message me you email i am thinking about turboing a 2.8 and may have a few questions.

[MrKWOOTEN]

very nice what the hp?

[lethalrides2k3]

dynoed 338Hp and 463Ftlbs @ 9 pounds of boost on pump gas (91 OCTANE) no nitrous and no methanol injection

[MrKWOOTEN]

That is so cool.

[kps2500]

@lethalrides2k3 is it all stock besides what you had 2 do for the turbo? and i really want to do this with my camaro but i dont understand the steps to got threw to actually do it.

[ChrisOBrien69]

i would kill for that engine....bad ass dude

[nicoli669]

fuck that ide kill for the car

[dandan678]

damn, nice car man. a paint job would set her straight

[sleeperblacking]

yo whats the beast turbo setup at sts or yours on a 3.4 v6 92 camaro text me at 13025692056

[sleeperblacking]

how did you run you belt i what to keep my a/c and its a street car in delaware so i cant go all out like i did on my supra

[lethalrides2k3]

i just removed the ac compressor and got a custom lenght belt

[ilovevoyage]

Wow. i have a 3.1 bird and a 95 lt1 formula and i want too do this to my 3.1. Any link to or help would be amazing. Keep up the good fight.

[kil885]

hell da fuck yea!!!

[autouzi]

is your car a 2.8 or 3.8 if its a 2.8 whered you get the turbo

[CamarosRule87]

its a 2.8/3.1 v6 60 degree motor he made the turbo himself

its a t3/t4 turbo off of ebay

[IndigoPlaedian]

makes me think "satans camaro" for some reason

[mitchellberry]

it annoyed me that you kept trying to run over the cameraman. aside from that though, thats fuckin sick. it sounds like a 350

[420DRAGON69]

hey where do u go to get the turbo kit for the 3.1 camaro i just got a 1991 3.1 auto rs and i cant find nothing just the performance chip....but fucking kick ass camaro im a maro man tryin to fix my maro fast like can u help?

[joekacala]

i recently finshed the turbo oin my camaro and also used the megasquirt II systme, im curious, what type of injectors did you use?

[lethalrides2k3]

just ford oem 42 pound injectors

[Joshatron101]

how would i be able to tune the turbo to my car?

[lethalrides2k3]

u could run somethign liek a megasquirt engine management system/fast, aceel dfi, or u can even burn chips for the stock ecm

[vfIskullangel]

Damn imagine that engine in a fiero!.

[trailerotecni]

cuanto piden por esta maquina

[IROCelite89]

Damn that v6 is louder than my LB9!

[Joshatron101]

do you know if you can turbocharge a 2.8L v6 stock with a turbo that is 13psi

[lethalrides2k3]

ive been testing my new turbo at 28 psi so yes it possible, as long as u can tune it.but if the tune isnt on ur going to blow it up

[DarkLinkAD]

You should change your title to, turbo 3.1 camaro, Ive been looking forever for a representation of the sound these things put out, just look at my favs lol

Is that a true dual h-pipe?

[lethalrides2k3]

no its a single 3 inch ex, no muffler on it in this video though

[DarkLinkAD]

After posting I saw the single turbo and was like, oh, duh nm lol.

Do you have a ported upper and lower intake manifold, or did you leave all the bottlenecks?

[Timothayyy]

"brand new motor" What motor is it?

Looks like a 3.1 or a 3.4, but I cant tell.

[lethalrides2k3]

its a 3.1

[tctman9]

What?!!!I'm guessing forged internals........How much boost?

[lethalrides2k3]

nope hyperectic pistons, stock rods and stock crank.

car ran a 13.00@105mph on 9psi with only 12* timing on pump gas.car tipped the scales at 3422#'s on that run

im now tunning for 27#'s of boost with alky injection, should have some new vids up soon,but i wont have track vids till late march when my local track opens back up

[tctman9]

I know it's new but I would have never guessed any thing stock would survive anything above 5psi of boost.Clean build tho.

[lethalrides2k3]

better then stock if u keep ur foot out of it,and drive it easy,but its hard to resist

[chevy385]

Sweet car man! Do you still get stock or near stock fuel economy with it?

[tctman9]

sweet,total cost?Also sean paul?

[Mitchd03]

connect turbo

do skid

post vid

[philyt]

A/C compressor lines and compressor and all that won't be in the way of the turbo will it?

[layzieburna]

hey man i got a problem with my camaro when i rev it the rpms stay up high and take a while to drop back down even after i take my foot of the gas what do think it is the maf sensor???

[cardot33]

it could be a lot of sensors. take off the maf sensor, and idle air control valve(on the throttle body.) and spray it with brake cleaner, let it air dry, and put it back on. thats what I did. you could also try disconnecting the O2 sensor to see if that makes a difference.

[nixon5]

ohh wow i did not even realize that all i have to do is replace the injectors. I dont even plan on running more than 6 psi in my 2.8. Im goining to start ordering the parts. The only thing that worries me is drilling the oil pan and welding that fitting. You should sell that header you made on thirdgen.

[MaJixGAGT]

y not a v8? if you did all that work

[lethalrides2k3]

cause it cost less and still makes more power, among other reasons

[MaJixGAGT]

really it makes more power? even if you put a turbo on the 8? im not trying to be a jerk im just curious. But i guess with the 6 u got more room in the engine compartment. i just think an 8 would withstand the turbo more because it is bigger and the power could be distributed more...

[lethalrides2k3]

no a turbo on the 8 will make more power out of the box, the stock v6 is good for 400hp and weve had guys make well over that without hurting them @ 6 psi this motor makes just over 320hp

[KyleP133]

That's an awfully nice car to be a strip queen, do you daily drive it? The interior is even nice, from what I could see even the dashpad is minty mint! Nice car man. I'm impressed!

[lethalrides2k3]

its not a strip queen :D car will always be a daily driver. yeah the interior is mint except for being dirty,needs a good shampooing.once that and i finish the body work and get it painted the car will be really nice. thnx man

[joekacala]

did you make your own headers? if you did they are beautiful. im still in prosses of getting my turbo done on mine. and do you have 3 inch coming off your hotside? and is it just a dump, with no muffler?

[lethalrides2k3]

yes i built the headers out of .065 wall 316L stainless tubing,thanks.yes im running a 3 inch downpipe that exits infront of were the factory cat would be,at the track i run the downpipe open,in the street i run a full ex system,the downpipe hooks to the factpry catback ex system

[joekacala]

i put a 3.4 out of a 94 camaro. I also am doing a similar turbo i changed intake and everything so all the wires would still work. i was wondering what you did with the mass air. and what size injectors did you use

[StreetLethalRacing]

Mass Air Flow sensor was eliminated, the engine is running off of an engine management system known as "MegaSquirt".... ;)

[joekacala]

ok, is that the box at the tb. is that something you made or can buy? and do you think that mass air could adjust fast enought to 8psi?

[StreetLethalRacing]

Depends on the MAF. A lot of guys run newer MAF's, albeit with a translator. However, most guys opt to go with a Speed Density setup enhanced to measure boost. In my own personal application, I'm running the Typhoon/Syclone ECM ('7749), but with the $59 mask.

The MegaSquirt, in this application, is located inside of the car,. There is a site dedicated to the MegaSquirt, just run a search on Yahoo for more information. If your going to use your stock ECM, be sure to utilize an FMU.... ;)

[lethalrides2k3]

teh stock mass air setup is good for 7 psi with 19# injectors on a 2.8, on a 3.4 u would prolly have to goto a 24# injector and be limited to 4-5 psi of boost without an fmu.deff look into a megasquirt unit, or some other means of tunning

[StreetLethalRacing]

Your parking next to me for the next car show, right....? ;)

[lethalrides2k3]

lmao what car show is that

[StreetLethalRacing]

LOL, think the next car show is in September, and mine definitely won't be "completely" finished until then (roof's getting chopped). The turbo setup however is almost done, just need to fabricate the down w/cutout to the exhaust then it's done, so we'll be able to line them up very soon.... ;)

[lethalrides2k3]

ahh sept swap met yeah ill be there

[dustingunther99]

do you have any build instructions i could follow im looking at turbo chargin my 3.1 rs and i need help
