sclary18 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 so.......... was the 89-90 gp the only car with the 3.1 turbo..? i really want the 3.1 turbo in my 92 cut supreme vert.. but i still have yet to see any 3.1 turbo in person... and also.. is it possible just to chuck a turbo on my na 3.1??
19Cutlass94 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 It was in the 89-90 TGP, and the TSTE. And yes, you can put the T25 turbo on your 3.1. Both motors where the same with an AUX mounted turbo. As long as you have the programing to go with it.
Robby1870 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 I think Josh (TurboSedan) made a thread when he turboed his Cutlass. It should still be around here somewhere. Try the search, I know it's shitty, but it was a pretty long thread, from what I remember, so you might be able to find it. EDIT: I was bored, I'm pretty sure this it. http://www.w-body.com/forum/index.php/topic,22683.0.html

Guest TurboSedan Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 http://www.w-body.com/forum/index.php/topic,22683.0.html yup, that's it. tons of pics and info there. i'm the only one i know of (on the W-body related forums anyway) that has turbocharged an LH0 using LG5 (TGP) parts. everyone else just swapped over a complete LG5 (which is a better of course). i have a good running real LG5 sitting in my garage right now though so it will likely replace the LH0/LG5 "hybrid" i have now when (if?) it blows up. it seems like it's going to last forever at this rate! *knocks on wood*
intern8tion9l Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Davis - (Invasion1) of whom has disappeared from here did his Cutlass too. I believe inter8ion9l did his as well. yeah boyeeeee

Robby1870 Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 This should probably stay on topic. Sclary, was that thread helpful? Anything else you need to know?
sclary18 Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Posted November 2, 2006 lol sorry, he started it! anyways, to answer your question, yes this thread was helpful and that is all i wanted to know!
FordBoy Posted November 2, 2006 Report Posted November 2, 2006 Could I put the same turbo setup in my 2.8? Cause i think there are a few gtps in a yard here i could jack the torbo setup from there. But i dont know if it will work?
Psych0matt Posted November 2, 2006 Report Posted November 2, 2006 <-- cant wait til he has the time and money to turbo the 3.4

But i dont know if it will work? yeah, a 3.1L is just a stroked 2.8L, so everything else is the same. A TGP setup would work just fine.
Guest TurboSedan Posted November 2, 2006 Report Posted November 2, 2006 Could I put the same turbo setup in my 2.8? Cause i think there are a few gtps in a yard here i could jack the torbo setup from there. But i dont know if it will work? there may be a few "GTPs" in the yard there but i doubt you'll find many "TGPs" in the junkyards becuase they are pretty rare. the GTP has the 3.4L DOHC V6, whereas the TGP has the Turbo 3.1L V6. but yes the TGP turbo 3.1 stuff will bolt right onto a 2.8L V6 since they are identical externally. you'd likely need some chip tuning to account for the smaller displacement though.
FordBoy Posted November 2, 2006 Report Posted November 2, 2006 Would i have to pull motor as well or just bolt up and redo computer?
Guest TurboSedan Posted November 2, 2006 Report Posted November 2, 2006 Would i have to pull motor as well or just bolt up and redo computer? we just went over all of this FordBoy remember this thread you made - from three days ago? http://www.w-body.com/forum/index.php/topic,51673.30.html re read it. if you have any more questions then reply to that thread instead of hijacking this one.
sclary18 Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Posted November 2, 2006 yeah! dont steal my thread! jk.. anyways.. what all would i need to turbo my n/a 3.1
Guest TurboSedan Posted November 2, 2006 Report Posted November 2, 2006 ok, i'll post this link again even though it's already been posted twice in this very thread http://www.w-body.com/forum/index.php/topic,22683.0.html FordBoy, don't go home and cry. go home and do some of your own research instead of expecting everyone else to repeat all of the info they found for themselves
sclary18 Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Posted November 2, 2006 thats a whole new engine.. im not lookin for a swap.. i wanted to turbo my NA 3.1..
