skalor Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Check out these pictures of a turbo I picked up a couple months ago. It's been sitting at my brother's house as he bought the same thing for his 3800/4L60E powered S-10. It's a Turbonetics 60-1 with a P-trim wheel in a .68 A/R turbine housing.

skalor Posted December 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I'm sorry to say that's it's not for the TGP...it's for the Ciera. I just wanted to show now big it was compared to the T-25. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossman429 Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I think it was a 3.8, the standard issue in a Ciera Int. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skalor Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I'm doing an L67/4T65E swap in late spring, but I'm dumping the supercharger in favor of a turbo obviously. It already has a 3300/4T60 in it now, so the mounts should bolt right up. I wanted to do this swap 5 years ago before I bought my first TGP, and now I'm finally getting back on track. I was looking for a Ciera International then but I saw a TGP for sale and bought that instead. My brother and I always joke that 60-1 without an intercooler could make 11 psi that's denser/cooler than the T-25 could with an intercooler. Here's the Ciera it's going into: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbtk2 Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Here's the Ciera it's going into: That Ciera with turboed L67 = WAY bigger sleeper than LG5 Lumina! Should be a very nice setup, can't wait to see it completed! Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospeeder Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Here's the Ciera it's going into: That Ciera with turboed L67 = WAY bigger sleeper than LG5 Lumina! Should be a very nice setup, can't wait to see it completed! Shawn its no L67, its a 3300 LG7! How do you say the name of the ciera :oops: is it like Kai-era or Si-erra or how do pronounce it?

mfewtrail Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 its no L67, its a 3300 LG7! I guess you missed the part where skalor stated that he was L67 swapping the Ciera.... Nice toy skalor, how much does that Ciera weigh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skalor Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 It's pronounced "sierra", just like the trucks. As far as the weight is concerned...I've seen and heard that it should be ~2900 lbs. I haven't actually weighed it but I used to have Ciera sedan that weighed about 3050 lbs without me in it. So, accounting for a little weight loss from it being a coupe I think it should be less than 3000 lbs at the very least. Plus, there's always weight reduction to get it even lower.

Prospeeder Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 oh i thought he ment he was putting a 4T65E from an L67 in, lol, never mind, i still think you should turbo the 3300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 wow, why turbo a 3300 when you can have a newer bigger L67 sitting in there? the Buick V6 needs all the help it can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospeeder Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 i dunno, 3800's are so common, you dont see many people turbo or supercharging 3300s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoStudd Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Now that's a sweet Ciera! Should be a complete sleeper when it's finished How well do those Cutty wheels fit? Reason I'm asking is my friend has a 93 Ciera, and I'm trying to get him to buy my old Regal wheels. I'm wondering if they'll fit without any rubbing or whatnot ...

skalor Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 This is a second Ciera I've had them on and they never rubbed on either cars. I'm running Fuzion ZRi 225/50/16 tires and I'm quite happy with them considering the price. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
