A few questions about the z34

Okay, im a 3.4 Lumina owner, and as we all know I LOVE IT, like really who couldn't fall in love with this car!... One question is there a way to turbo and supercharge this vehicle, or is it all custom?... Also when going an alright speed theres a humming noise, its faint... you can hear it well when slowing down but its also there just driving... everyone things its a bad noise but it's been there since i got my Lumina last year... i just think its the sound of the tires and the road, no idea i dont think anything is rubbing?...

Re: A few questions about the z34

This is kind of a stab in the dark without actually hearing the noise, but have you pulled off your timing belt inspection covers to see if your timing belt is rubbing?

And, yes there is a way to turbo a 3.4, but it is ENTIRELY custom, and @#$! expensive. A member of another forum did it, but it required a custom exhaust manifold, injectors, fuel pump, custom tune (after tune, after tune). There's not an actual turbo made for a 3.4, but there is a rare Grand Prix 3.1 mclaren turbo (I've seen the cars in the JY, however, the turbo is always already harvested). Custom plumbing (from what I recall, the turbo is oiled), battery relocation, etc, etc.. - He spent upwards of $10K getting his project finished. I assume it could be done for less, but in any event, would not be an easy upgrade. I do remember one of the other members who got to ride in the car, remarking how incredibly fast the car was afterwards.
