camaro turbo?

[TikiMan121086]

Ok guys. I really dont know much about the turbo system for a car period. But what i want to know is how to find the right turbo for a 2001 camaro V6 3.8L.

I want to install a twin turbo system, but if its better then just a single one then ok too. Also i have NO idea how to install a turbo.

Go to www.firebirdv6.com they ahve quite a few turbo cars (3.4L and 3.8L). You should also look into the Paxton SC's for those cars, they work very well and the car can run 13's all day long on 5-7 psi with stock guts. It's a hell of a plumbng job adding a turbo to a 4thgen camaro...be ready to spend some serious cash. :thumb: Oh, and twin turbo is pointless, even on a built bottom end. That motor doesn't need to much boost to make some massive power gains. It ain't a Honda afterall... (j/k guys)

Or a z28.

[SloESLex]

find a LS1 and do a swap nikka!

[Sry0fcr]

Sell the weaknuts V6. After $4K in mods you'll be running with a mostly stock LS1 Z28. I can put you in touch with someone that has one up for sale is great condition full bolt ons, suspension, R-comps, SS wheels ect. Only been to the track like twice lol ran 13 flat on sissy-boy 10 bolt launches. You'd think he'd have been harder on it but it stays in the garage, he likes his Neon R/T more I guess? :roflmao:

[FbodTrek]

Meh, If you just want to run with Ls1 cars, buy an ls1 and throw some money at it. I'll say this though, beating faster cars with V6 camaros is kinda fun :hs: Hell, if anything, sell the V6 car, and buy a daily beater and an older F-body, or Fox. Build you an actual race car...

The Paxton SC is a centrifugal supercharger. It's just a brand, like Vortech and Procharger kits.

Everyone is right.. the V6 is a waste if you want some power. The LS1 is the way to go. You can spray all you want on the V6 and supercharge the crap out of it like it's going out of style, and you will probably still lose to a bolt on, heads/cam LS1.

id personnaly just buy an extra bottom end/ build it for abuse then setup the car for a hidden 200-250 shot....2 stages prefered. that'll put you in the "hidden mods-lets race for $$" bracket really quickly. plus a turbo system can be very costly and somtimes difficult to engineer.

[baldurann]

LS1 or bust.

[RoadRunner]

it may have the wow factor if you beat someone with your 6...but your on borrowed time putting boost onto that short block.

find an ls1 car and start with that...its always cheaper to do it right the first time.

By this logic (which I agree with, so no offense), all teh Honda, Nissan, and other import guys should drop those 4 bangers and throw in a nice fat small block. Hell, if you want to go fast, there's only one way right? :hs: It takes alot of work to make a Civic run with a heads/cam LS1 too, but there are LOTS off these Hondas running around trying to measure up right? What it all boils down to in the end is this: Do you want to keep teh V6 car? If you do, the ways listed are your options. Do you want a track beast/car killer? If that's the case, go buy an LS1 car (might as well get a vette right? They're lighter and faster), add aset of heads, a nice cam, and spray it into the 11's. There' aren't any 11 second V6 F-bodys out there YET. But there are a few 12 second V6 cars (on stock bottom ends mind you). ANyhow, just enjoy whatever you end up doing, there's always a thousand people that are faster.

there is a guy in houston that overbuilds the 3.8 liter with al forge internals.then he puts a t60 turbo kit that fits you fbody.he will tune it will cost some money ..And dont forget you will need to make you rear and trany stronger ..the place is called conley performance..its on aldine mait route and aldine bender..

YES there is there are 10 3.8 liters runing in the 10sec zone..3.8 turbo,fbodys and there are a shit load of grand nationals running 11 seconds and faster..if you want to make a one of the kind car do it ..

I am sorry if i had a s/c 3.8 and ran a 13.5 i would set it on fire..My friend had a 2000 camaro and it was stock ,with a ss rear end and a 150 shot of gas and ran 12.5..with gas only on a auto with a stall 3500..but it was basic stock

[blackhawk425whp]

a heads and cam z28 will run 11 all day long with out and spray..man just get you dads vette and put a direct port spray kit 200 shot a big cam and a stall if it a auto you will be a high 10 low 11

^^^ all perfectly valid (I actually live right behind Conleys BTW :thumb:). I'm all for building up a V6 car, I was being sarcastic in the last post :p . I like to see things with the "wrong" motor run fast (I.e. V6 F-bodys/Stangs). The built motor in My V6 F-body ran pretty good with just a 50 shot, it'd hold 150 all day, I just never thought to do it (was my daily driver at the time). It ain't going to the track again prolly (getting sold for school fundage). But if it does decide to go back, it's going back with the set of heads I ahve for it, and the BIG jets.
