What steps do I need to take to prepare my car for Forced Induction? (junkyard turbo)

[Rally Sport]

Finally someone who knows their stuff. Hypsi im thinking of buying a V6 engine that I would be able to turbocharge, what would you suggest?

[Xenostalgia]

GNX, Monte Carlo SS.

Xeno did you not read my post? I said motor not car, if I want a monte SS all I got to do is get true duals for my Monte and there it is because thats basicly what they did for my model year.

oh sorry didn't read close enough get a 3800 series i basically GN motor. or the grand prix's that are SCed those motors too i'd think

[Rally Sport]

Yeah I was thinking about getting a 3800 and Turboing it, but I wasnt sure if it would be able to hold it.

wow xeno u was trying to go for the gusto i see, for your engine man i think 6 or 7 psi is all it can take stock and like i said a long time ago that wont get u hardly no power for the buck. unless u build your engine like some guys have said the best thing u can do is hit it with a small shot of spray. and even doing so its all time untill it goes boom! the bottom line is when u get a power adder turbo,s/c, or laughing gas, u have to build your engine for it to run the ammount u have to run to get real power. look at me at first i had a 100 shot stock, now i run a 200 and a 100, and to tell the truth i could hit it with a bit more and be ok. dont be like the movie guy and burn your shit up, because a turbo costs some bread and for the price u will pay im not trying to break a damn thing!

Not looking to start any arguments and this will probably be my only post in the thread.

Xeno, one week you say you cant afford your car and want a honda, now you are saying you're gonna make a custom turbo kit for it? There will be a lot mroe things going wrong the more you put.

With that said, read these up, take the info, then decide what you're gonna do.

Theres more info, but start there. Check out the tuning sections of those sites as well, because if youre going FI you must tune.

you can buy a 3800 that comes supercharged. most of the fiero guys do it, my frinds doing it, and he picked it up for 1100 with the wiring at a salvage yard i think

[mrgofast21018]

so wait couldnt you just put like triple copper head gaskets on and it would lower the compression ratio enough to boost? i was thinking about doing something similar. but i was going to use a destroked 400 with thick walls.

TTA is a v6... it was just a ta w/ a gn engine... quick look on ebay, gn's are goin for about 8000-12000... but they are more than worth the money

I know 97 but I'm just dreaming and looking at alternate possibilities, assuming my maro doesn't break. Asides there is a saying I made "There are only so many things that can break on a car before you replace them all and it runs fine." I'm close to that point,. I hope.
