wyomingste Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 To put this short what motor in the w-body (2 door grand prix SE unknown year) would have 24 valves? I'm confused I thought that we would only have 12 valve motors (don't know what the 3.4 has). I was smoked on my way home from dropping my brother off at school and i'm just curious. Thanks, WyomingSTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 The 3.4 is a DOHC V6 motor... dual over head cams.. times 6 cylinders... if there were two valves per cylinder with one cam, how many do we have with two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heza Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 depends on power out.... 91-93 auto tranny 3.4s had 200 hp/215 torque. 91-93 manual tranny 3.4s had 210 hp/215 torque 94-95 3.4s had 210 hp/215 torque 96-97 3.4s had 215 hp/215 torque 91-93 auto could be 205 hp, but im pretty sure its 200.

OldSkoolGP Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Amen brother! I've been asked by a couple people why I don't swap. One of my big reasons is that sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LQ1 a.k.a. sonofabitchfuckingmotor also called the Twin Dual Cam (TDC) V6...god i love that motor...sounds so nice when you open it up... I loved the sound as well...there's nothing else like it when you're doing about 20-25 mph in an auto one, and get down on it, the tranny does it's thing and it sounds like hell's exploding.... Oh wait, that was just the motor or tranny grenading. But all BS aside, I agree it does make an exceptional sound with a filter on a stick.

chadz34 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 The twin dual cam is one of the best sounding WOT V6's I have ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 The twin dual cam is one of the best sounding WOT V6's I have ever heard. I would have to disagree with that one, I would have to with some of the bigger motors for. like the 4.3 turbo, 3.8 SC S3 (that whine is addicting I tell ya), and i would also probly say the 3.1 turbo (that whine is addicting I tell ya)..
