willsv8 Posted December 31, 2004 Author Report Posted December 31, 2004 sweet do you have pic's and was it hard to do ?? Quote
Dannymik Posted December 31, 2004 Report Posted December 31, 2004 yeah it can be done...remember not to for get about your good ole tranny if your adding that kind of torque. Quote
Aaron Posted January 1, 2005 Report Posted January 1, 2005 Search...But yes it will work, they are the same engine and nearly the same car... Quote
Trep Posted January 1, 2005 Report Posted January 1, 2005 just wondering, would the turbo setup work on the 2.8 motors as well? Quote
Robby1870 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Posted January 1, 2005 just wondering, would the turbo setup work on the 2.8 motors as well? Sure does! Since a 3.1L is just a stroked 2.8L Quote
Aaron Posted January 1, 2005 Report Posted January 1, 2005 And I bet a 2.8 would liek the factory TGP turbo a bit more than the 3.1 does, I know the 3.1 TGPS run out of breath at 5,000rpm. But that not be all the turbos fault. Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 i'm finishing up my Turbo Cutlass project as well. i'm picking up my rebuilt TGP cylinder heads from the machine shop on Monday and i can finally get this engine together! i got an entire Turbo 3.1 engine from a local salvage yard that had a '90 Turbo STE. i found a melted piston after i pulled one of the heads off, so i'm turbocharging my original NA 3.1 instead. i like the idea of adding TGP parts to a 2.8....even better would be a 2.8 crank in a 3400 block.

Trep Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 the reason I asked about it, is because at some point we might do that turbo setup to our A-body Celebrity. Quote
GP1138 Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 the reason I asked about it, is because at some point we might do that turbo setup to our A-body Celebrity. Question now is... WHY??? I mean, sleeper, yes. But ugly ass sleeper. Quote
Aaron Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Spend the extra money and turbo your DOHC Cutlass, you'll be much happier. Quote
Trep Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 I might not do it anyway, as it was just a thought and not to mention nobody would ever expect a turbo in a Celebrity. Currently my main focus is working on the Cutlass to be road worthy before I can get it legal to drive. I would never turbo the DOHC, I like the engine just the way it is. Quote
Brian P Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 its been done and im currently finishing up my 1992 3.1 Turbo Cutlass Supreme So coin the phrase Tutless Supreme? Quote
