ok...most of you know me as the jack ass who does burn outs with his obnoctiously loud 3.4 camaro(custom welded flowmaster catback)...or the jack ass with fang strips on his hood...but heres the kicker...i'm gonna use my 3.4 block with the 3400 heads, intake manifold and pistons...accually makes more power cause the crank and cam are slightly different in the 3.4 as opposed to the 3400...along with twin garret turbos(from 2 89 caravans)...run out headers to the rear...yes i'm gonna do it the hard way but there very tiny turbos...comp cams 260/260 @ .462 lift beehives from a ls motor eaton posi and M/T 255/45 r16 ET street tires...and a 50/100 dry shot is up in the air...did i metion its got a t-5...also a bigger throtlebody is in order along with 21lb/hr fuel injectors all on the stock harness(i hope)...headers, hi-flow cat, custom fitted SS ram air and a 2.5in cowl hood so i can reafirm my jackassedness and pu an SS-207 decal on the side of the cowl

my head hurts...

who's gonna tune it?

NJSPEEDER · 02-10-2007, 10:22 PM

i would suggest you hit the junk yards and get a pair fo turbo's from 1.8 subaru's. teh sizing will be more appropriate to the airflow of a 3.4 than from the larger chrysler engine.

bubba428 · 02-10-2007, 10:23 PM

I'll sell ya mine

On topic- That sentence was too mych for me to process, I am shutting down for the day.

NJSPEEDER · 02-11-2007, 10:17 AM

i like the idea of doing something a little different. besides, the old "jsut buy a..." always seems to be the expensive version. just enjoy and work on whatever car you have, it is less expensive and way fewer headaches.

O O O EXACTLY!!!!...not to mention how retardedly fast it'll be when i'm done...and the chrysler turbo is from a 2.5...its not big at all

NJSPEEDER · 02-11-2007, 04:10 PM

looking at it in terms of equal displacement/air capacity. 2 x 2.5 = 5L's worth of turbo on a 3.4L engine, compared to 2 x 1.8 = 3.6L worth of turbo on a 3.4 engine.
the smaller turbo's would allow for quicker spooling, yet still yield enough extra capacity to run higher boost levels on race gas or depending how low you go with the compression.

bubba428 · 02-11-2007, 04:31 PM

true...but i have to use whats readily availible...and i haven't seen any 1.8 turbos

NJSPEEDER · 02-11-2007, 04:51 PM

you are rebuidling the engine first, then fabricating all the tubing? or have you started working on the tubing already?
i can run to the junk yard next weekend and see if there are still a few of the smaller turbos there for ya.
whatever turbo's you use, i would suggest rebuidling them first. nothing like bad seals to blast oil through everything and mess it all up

JSPERFORMANCE · 02-11-2007, 06:38 PM

IROCdan330 · 02-11-2007, 06:56 PM

how many pounds of boost will you be running? do you think 21 lb/hr injectors are going to be enough?

i dont know how fast this thing will be if you only have 30 days...

good luck with the tuning on this one...and that dry shot...
