Instead they'll just piddle paddle around and waste more money paying shops in labor than on the parts :P . V6 f-body crowd = crap . Look at how fast the GN's have been going with a single turbo then look at the current turbo V6 f-body's. Like Tim said, they're records are weak. |
the Turbo Buicks are completely different from the V6 F-bodies. the only thing similar between the two is that they're RWD, and they have 3.8L V6's. The LC2 is specifically designed to take boost, and have the potential for more power. the L36 was never designed for forced induction or nitrous.
The REAL V6 F-body crowd is a good community. when i say real, i mean the people who are really interested in working on their cars and tuning them. There's a separate crowd within the community that only cares about having the "look," so to speak.
don't hate on the guys (or girls, in Shirl's case) who have done some pretty good things with an ancient engine design. |
i have to admit its a little more complicated then how jon puts it...because of the maf being the TB as well it compicates things...ive seen people maxing out their maf with like 7psi of boost and having to do all kinda weird **** to get it to run right...dont get me wrong i think there is alot of untapped potential but few have had good luck with turbo setups for sure and just as many with nitrous...SD tuning the stock computer is a complete pita with the programming that is out there...its possible but just a pita. And again for $100 who wants to risk their motor? |
The internals might not be as strong as the GN but the MAF in TB isn't a problem. Unplug it, install LSx MAF (preferably the f-body or vette version) and update the tables using HPTuners. Wow, what a hard thing to do
. There's your fuel corrections if you run turbo. HPTuners and take out a little timing to stay safe, badda bing badda boom.
So what IS the difference between the LC2 and the L36? Seem more alike than not. The block might not be as strong..
