Would a twin-turbo respond well in the V6?

Although, I have to say that my setup will probably be 10:1 at 7 psi.

we should be able to run more than 7 psi utilizing DI. ive seen 11:1 cr LT1's running 7psi non intercooled (sts) with no problem. I would imagine that we should be able to turn up the boost on this thing.

Well, then my hypotheses are confirmed, if a bit on the conservative side.

I'm still going to stay on the conservative side with my build up, if only to keep the thing as durable as possible.

start small and keep working your way up. then run it till it blows. and build it better, faster, stronger. we have the technology

If you all remember that video I linked to a while ago, where Gale Banks was discussing boost; he said every 1 PSI you add without increasing intake temperature, you get 7% more power. SOOO 7 PSI with a good intercooler is 49% more power, lets so 50% for easy number crunching. 50% of 300 is 150. So 150 + 300 = 450. Thats a nice bump in power if you ask me Not to mention only 5 pounds of boost is 35% more power or about another 100 HP, so your looking at around 400 HP with just a little bit of boost, not to mention exhaust mods, intake, tuning, head work etc.

IF you can do it without increasing intake temps.


methanol injection anyone? http://www.snowperformance.net/

well that's why you get an intercooler with it. A simple air to air unit should be sufficient if your only make 5-8 pounds of boost. the cobalt is capable of making more than double that and it has a air/air cooler.

the thing about the STS setups is the fact that the rear-mount setup allows the long turbo piping to act as an intercooler (at low boost levels). that's how they explained it in a product video. when running higher boost pressure, that's when they recommend adding a separate intercooler.

You're all over that methanol injection aren't you?

yup, just a little bit of trimming to be done to get one stuffed in there

yes. I know. but 5-7psi is about the norm for all low-boost/non-intercooled setups.

hell yeah I am. when you can cruise at 160*, then punch it, go to full boost and the temp drop to 130*. not to mention, not having to finegle an intercooler into the engine bay as well. with the LLT intake manifold, it would be super easy to drill and tap a hole for a nozzle for meth injection. or you could go the route I am on my LT1 and run individual nozzles on each port.

[ZeeTwentyFour]

go for it, sounds good to me! Not having to stuff an intercooler some where is enough of an incentive. These newer cars have 10 pounds of crap stuffed into a 5 pound bag.

[Xanthos]

Heh. I'll look into it, spike. God knows I could use the space savings.

And that's the best you'll get out of me for now.

I've already told you what to do with your LLT....

[ZeeTwentyFour]

O word! we got build secrets already hehehe

[drivingincamaro]

ok cool

can we go off topic for a minute?


i don't wanna start another thread about this...

so lets revive a debate..... i am thinking of getting a Turbo or a Super charger


What is your guys opinion ....i want off the line power and i dont want any loss in mpg's


I am fairly new to FI so idk much about it
