Honestly, you want power from a 2.8 car, your looking at spending more than $1000. Fuck the engine swap, slap a turbo on that bitch and call it a day! haha Jamie

Yep, 94 blue GTP
CSI_MuNkY Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Nice! I didn't think that car was going anywhere cause there was never an update on cardomain and they don't seem to ever post here... Jamie
RareGMFan Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Fuck the engine swap, slap a turbo on that bitch and call it a day! x2. Or better yet, find a TGP motor (the 3.1L that replaced your 2.8). MUCH, much easier swap (pretty much bolt in + wiring) than the Caddy motor, and you'll start with 205hp. Though grossly overpriced, Kenny's "Hot Tune" chip ALONE will have it running very low 14's/very high 13's. Or you could skip the swap, and just BUY a TGP.
oldscsc Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Just out of curiosity, what is the price on one of those chips?
RareGMFan Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 When I asked Kenny a while back on AIM, I believe he said $450.
digitaloutsider Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Yep $450. He's been smoking some good shit recently. And his attitude on his own forum really makes me want to spend my hard earned money on his wares. (B-B-BUT HORSEPOWER PER DOLLAR RATIO!!!!111)
5speedz34 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 As for those who've been saying stuff about Travis(SoccerplayerGTP) his car is going to get done, trust me.

oldscsc Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 I love this guy! Yep, them honies love the '88 Grand Prix's
Sidewinder Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 I wouldn't get your hopes up dude unless you can do a lot of custom fab work. Last I checked the North Star swapped Monte Carlo cost in the $10000 range when all was said an done. Course the first gen GPs and 1.5 gen MC do have differences.

1988GPSE Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Posted June 15, 2008 ok found a motor cheap but this one is a 4.5.owner told me there is not much difference only worse gas milage.i should be able to get some kick out of this no?its still in the car with no mufflers *sounded mean as a bat* i knew right then i want this swap.keep me posted the warm weather is here and i need to be out on the prowl,all the winter months in the gym gotta start payin up you know?

Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 I had the 4.5. It was a good engine, and got decent gas milage if I remembered to use the Cruise Control. Find a intake off a Allante (port matched from the factory), a borla exhaust sets off some real nice tones too. Make sure you take the tranny with it, unless you are planning a 5 speed swap.

meltboy1 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 this guys got balls for having only 16 posts... maybe you should migrate over to the 60degreev6 forums instead as you have already made a bad name for yourself here.
