2001 Impala Turboed

This is my 2001 Impala. It has a 3.8 engine. 3800 series 2 if you want to get technical. I basically have
1.Stage 3 Intense CNC heads
2.Stage 3 Intense Turbo Cam
3.Intense-Racing Custom Dyno Tune
4.Hi-tech Pushrods By Compcams
5.High Flow Catted Downpipe
6.Powerlogs (ported exhaust manifolds)
7.Intense Polymounts (upper and lower)
8.TCS-4000 HD Torque Converter
9.3" Straight Piped Exhaust (no muffler, no resonator)
10.Cartuning Turbo kit.

Im currently making over 383 horses at the crank.
Took me a long long time to get to this point. Im about a quarter of the way, till ill be done with the modding.
it was originally making 200 Naturally Aspirated. I still got alot of tuning to do. And a intercooler, transmission to get :-D
Enjoy.

Yeahhh 43,000 views!!

Update: The car is no more... One of the valve springs broke which let a valve fall into the cylinder.... Made the piston come out the side of the motor..... It was fun while it lasted! Wish i could of made it the 500 whp beast i was looking for.... Time to move on to the GTO....

Thanks for all the comments!

Oh do I LUV SLEEPERS!!! That's awesome people thought this was a 3.4 XD This is what I wanted to do to my LeSabre dude! Awesome to see someone do it to an impala. One technical question though... What valve springs were you running? Were they a heafty set from Intense? I'm just really surprised you broke one... Sorry to see the car gone dude...

@blah1752 they were 130 springs. Go with the dual spring setup from intense.

So i have a 2001 impala as well and its a 3.8. My ABS and trac light is always on as well, any reason why. I fuck around and peal out alot. But how much did the turbo package cost?

[vitalssj]

@bott817 one of your wheel hubs is bad. 2800 it cost for the kit.

[kahnawake67]

yo man im just wondering but how many kills or miles you got on it?

[vitalssj]

@kahnawake67 countless kills. Put about 30,000 miles on it before the spring let go and killed my motor.

@inuyasha5856 Its the 3.8 trust me, I just had the base model with the 3.8 installed. Yes they came with out the spoiler and fog lights with the 3.8

Thats why it was such a great sleeper, Everyone thought i had the 3.4 but i actually had the 3.8 Plus the 3.4 has the tan upper intake manifold, 3.8 as shown in the video above has the black high rise upper intake manifold.

nice sleeper, should be fun to pull up to some jackass in a mustang and leave his ass

@thefreakin77 3.8 is pretty much a bored out 3.4

[thefreakin77]

whats the difference from a 3.4 and a 3.8?

[bott817]

@vitalssj how much does one cost? and could you send me a link to a site that sells them please. much appreciated.

[vitalssj]

@meatzy123 they have full blown kits that you can buy online. My upper intake and throttle body stayed the same.

@twizz420 imagine going 70 mph and having the tires spin like you were doing a burn out on the highway. The car had so much torque steer at 60 I had to have the steering wheel turned to the left. Lol Damn I miss her.

[twizz420]

Too bad anything over 240hp in a FWD just makes the tires spin and the suspension hop. Not to mention the insane torque steer. I have a stock 2001 3.4L Impala and even THAT has insane torque steer if I punch it.

@vitalssj ur not gonna get it tuned? I always thought a rich tune robbed power
