Drummer Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Not sure what to do to my 93 GTP. I first wanted to make my motor more powerful just by boring it out and putting headers on it, bigger injectors and some other things, but now I'm thinking about a turbo, OBDII conversion and whatnot and I just don't know what to do, I already got headers and injectors but I just don't know. What kind of HP would i get from a worked 3.4 as to a turbo 3.4? How hard would it be create an exhaust for a turbo? Quote
carkhz316 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Blank check and a welder and then stars the limit. Quote
Andrew Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 i still vote for tailpipe turbo. and depending on the turbo and other mods you run, you could get 100+ crank hp. Quote
jimmyfloyd Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 L67 Swap And I only say that cause there's a 97 PA non-C.A.R.S. with an L67 in Gary's right now that is still complete. Just looked at it at lunch. Got a picture too. I would probably do the turbo route, but just cause I have always wanted to have a turbo car. Quote
Drummer Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Posted October 28, 2009 Blank check and a welder and then stars the limit. Well I have a welder I just don't know how to go about making a manifold or how to connect a turbo to it. What's all entailed into doing this? Quote
Addicted2bass Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 Turbos are always FTW! Nothing beats the sound of a blow off valve. Quote
Garrett Powered Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 don't do it ....cuz once you do, you will never go back Quote
Drummer Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Posted October 28, 2009 ok guess i'll go for the turbo route. Who here has done a 3.4 turbo anyways? Quote
tornado_735 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 They did a tailpipe turbo conversion to a base corvette on (I can't remember the name of the show) and it was pretty sweet. Quote
tunerlover3 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 Horsepower TV did it to a corvette. They used a STS kit. Quote
mfewtrail Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 ok guess i'll go for the turbo route. Who here has done a 3.4 turbo anyways? "TimG" and "dohc v6" both have. Quote
tornado_735 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 Horsepower TV did it to a corvette. They used a STS kit. Thanks. I completely forgot the name of the show! I'm an idiot. It seems like a pretty clever setup. Quote

It seems like a pretty clever setup. Rear mount turbos are clever. The only problem is all the tubing and lines needed to mount it in the back and people have said that there is boost lag although a smaller turbo will help that. Quote
5speedz34 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 There is a fiero guy who is running a stock 3.4 with ported heads, headers, and a turbo. With amazing tuning he's putting down 400 whp with a stock bottom end. Quote
Drummer Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Posted October 29, 2009 I thought you couldn't use headers for a turbo, or is it a rumor? Quote
5speedz34 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 I thought you couldn't use headers for a turbo, or is it a rumor? I don't see why you couldn't. Quote
RobertISaar Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 I thought you couldn't use headers for a turbo, or is it a rumor? I don't see why you couldn't. that myth is that you can't use them, the truth is that somehow people skewed the reality of the header's scavenging effect is negated by the turbo due to it being a major restriction.

Artemis Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 grandprixgtp_91 on 60degreeV6 has a turbo LQ1. Might I suggest going with a 284 if you're going turbo... not sure how long the auto tranny would be able to take it. Quote
5speedz34 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 Drummer's car is a 284 car iirc? Quote
Drummer Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Posted October 29, 2009 Drummer's car is a 284 car iirc? You would be correct. Do most of these guys had an OBD 2 conversion done to them? Quote
Drummer Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Posted October 30, 2009 Ok so here are my headers, how does the turbo get mounted to this as i've never seen an exhaust with a turbo on it or even the mounting points where the turbo mounts to. Quote
RobertISaar Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 are those equal length tubes? Quote
slick Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Appears to be pretty damn close to equal length. Quote
