After going with a na 2.8 for a while and getting into the low 15,s off the nitrous ive decided that i wont get much more out of this motor without turbo/supercharging

Wild cam 248/258 @.050 500/520
custom chip
ported and milled heads
10-1 compression
low temp stat
3" ex system
and msd 6al
and a 100 shot of nitrous but i never made it down the track using it


new motor specs are as follows
2.8 v6
ported intake

custom chip
new heads/stock with wild porting/but not milled for added compression/
thicker head gaskets to lower compression even further
custom turbo manifold/headers
low temp stat

everything else i had at the shop already so ill get the prices for everything else when the build is complete

looks pretty sweet bro, keep postin those pics. ill prolyl do a turbo eventuall but im thinkin more along the lines of a remote mounted turbo, idk yet...

yeah u 4th gen guys have it pretty ruff, i dont think u guys can fit a turbo under the hood,the only thing u guys have on us is they make turbo kits for 4th gens(remote mount),while us 3rdgen guys have to fab everything ourselfs

ummm... there are many front mount kits for 4th gens... i own one

oh i didnt know that,the only ones i had seen were remote mount kits, i really dont pay much attention to the 4thgen stuff

yea they have them for LS1s and LT1s but none for the almighty 3800 Series II :D plus i dont feel like changing everything in my engine bay to make room for the turbo, nor do i feel like getting all the necessary stuff for it. I'd wrather just go with the remote mount and save myself the aggrivation..

IMO, theres more than enough room in a 4th gen v6 engine compartment to mount a tubro setup. you could put a kasey in front of a 3800 and still close the hood

lol

seriously, I can fit in there. haha.

Brandon you're wrong... there is the FFF kit although there are mixed opinions on it (I still don't know exactly why), and then there are of course the custom setups...

anyone who knows turbos will tell you custom kit its the way to go

that site has nothing but videos and links :confused:

Hmm...I wonder if Tiago stopped selling kits. You can shoot him an e-mail at the address he provided on the site.
