It's one thing if I get paid more to do it, but it's different if I'm doing it on the weekend. I think I'll be looking for one with the 3.8L unless I find a great deal on a 3.4.
I was thinking about finding a wrecked low-mileage car with the supercharged 3.8L and installing the supercharger in the Lumina. A question there... I assume I'd have to change the MAP sensor to one that reads pressure... any other changes?
Another question, are there manual transaxles designed for the power of a blown 3.8L? I love manual transmissions, and I don't think I'll ever own a car that doesn't have one. I know there's a lot of work involved in changing to a manual transaxle (especially in a vehicle that wasn't designed to have one at all), but since it's hard to find a M/T car nowdays it's looking like that may be my only option. That's one thing I'll never understand, everyone's looking for better gas mileage, yet they choose a transmission that costs more and gets several MPG less  |
just a dumb question,but who the hell told you that you need to remove the intake to change spark plugs on a 3.4 dohc?
i just changed my delco pugs and i sure in the hell did not have to remove my intake.im sorry man,but who ever told you that might have been on cheap drugs,or has never actually done the job,or they are like a robot and always do what they are told. lol P.S. sorry man
