Supercharged

If I were to supercharge my v6 3.4l ( ha ha i know.. ) Would I be able to take it out and put it on a v8? Or are they sized to fit individual engines?

Same with CAI?

I believe their different with V8/ V6

are you asking about popping hte super off the 3.4 and putting it on a lt1/ls1?

i think.... (probably wrong) there isn't a super charger for 3.4 and if there is it isn't worth it(personal opinion)

But I doubt it caues the 3.4 would need to be completely rebuilt head to toe for the supercharger to work or else you'll kill the engine in a few weeks

A centrifigal s/c would. But, I wouldn't throw $2500+ on one to put on a stock 3.4 and expect it to live long. MAybe a 3.8 with mid level boost could?

^yep.

www.procharger.com has a centrifigal SC. I was just wondering tho.

Actually, RSM Racing (http://www.rsmracing.com/) makes a supercharger for the 3.4's. But they want $3500 for it, and it only gives you 80 HP. Not worth it at all IMO. I'd say if you're looking at any kind of forced induction that you can swap to a V8, then I'd say buy a single or twin turbo setup. You would probably spend around 2500-3500 for it, and get well over 80 HP out of it.

If you're interested in getting a turbo. Then you should check out Force Fed Fabrication (http://www.force-fed-fabrications.com/). They have a 3.4L on a single turbo setup, using the To4 turbo, and at 15 psi it's putting out 397rwtq. Then they put on the T61 turbo, and at 5 psi, they're hitting 373 rwtq. Some pretty nice stuff.

just in case the thought hasn't run by you yet, and I didn't see anyone else suggest it but...

you could probablly find a Z28 with better chances of living long, and it might cost about 2-3k more than your V6, but its got 100 more HP, not 80.

that's not on the stock 3.4 is it!? i'm assuming its been beefed up a lil

Yeah, the guy has basically upgraded everything you could imagine on it. Except for the bottom end. That's all he says that he has stock.

after checkin out that site, i'd say there's some hope for u 3.4 boys

Yeah, that site pretty much was my inspiration to wanna work on mine. Just kind of curious to see what exactly I can get out of it myself. Not like I'm expecting to acheive 500 HP. Heck, if I was out to do that, I would have traded my bird in a loooong time ago for a V8. I just think it'll be a fun, first time engine to work on.

:eek7: After seeing that.... I want a turbo... That website has inspired me to make my car better. 400 rwhp is good enough for me, for now. :evillol:

there is hope for hp in a 3.4, but honestly how long do you think the 3.4 would last if you beefed it up that much..

i contemplated a cam and some head work for this summer, but when i found out it would cost me over 1500 because i couldnt machine the heads myself, i decided it was money better spent on saving for a v8 and investing in that farther down the road, i would rather have a stock 275-300 hp platform to work with than 160... just a thought

Very true. I will most likely not put anything *too* expensive on my car.. but for now to satisfy my NFS, Im probally going to do minor things like making CAI, etc. I already started saving for my v8 anyways. :naughty:

the site says he's been using the kit for 2 years w/ no adverse effects... sounds like a winner to me

If you throw a turbo on a stock engine.. then of course it's not going to hold up that long. But, if you build the engine up to withstand the new power addition, then it should be able to hold up without a problem. I like my V6. It gets good gas mileage and makes decent power for it's size. If I wanted poorer gas mileage and crap load more power that I wouldn't know what to do with, then yeah, I'd go get a V8 as well. But my goal here is to just see how much power I actually can get out of it. It's just too typical to go trade your sixer in for a V8. But, to actually beef your sixer to hang with a V8.. that'll make people say damn.

I see where you both are coming from (Kaotik and Blink). I really think it would be in most peoples own opinion, but if you start out with something that has its own power and reliablility it would make sense. Unlike to beef up a 100k mile v6 with this and that and have it break. That would kinda suck. But right now I really like my v6 cause just like blink said gas millage, and is kinda fun trying to match/keep up with v8's. If I had the money I would Definatly go Kaotiks rought of starting witha more powerful platform and be able annihalate other stock v8's ( like vettes, GTO's and RICERS). BUT thats just IMO. :evillol:
