Mohrg I had a question to ask you, how much do all these mods cost? I am no expert but I can imagine this Turbo mod must run between $3.5k-$5k and probably more with installation. At these prices why would someone chose a Turbo V6 over a V8? Please don't take this as a criticism I am just curious whats the advantage?

I hope it works out well for you. It'll be interesting to see what the power increase will be.

This i not the first time you've claimed to be getting a turbo (from 7/15): (http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...222#post685222) "in a month ill take pics of my 1lt after it gets back from having a professional turbo kit made for it..no joking. im getting a quote tomorrow and they want to make a v6 turbo to sell and they needed a v6 to mold it from..i said screw it cant gain unless you give a little first..so 1 month of engineering for my car to have 550-600 whp is well worth it to me." More talk about getting a turbo 7-10-09: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...923#post667923 There was another thread where you claimed you would have a turbo in 2 weeks which would have been mid-july (haven't found it yet but i will...) And you even bought a Cyclone (Turbonator knock-off): "i need help finding/purchasing a V6 turbo/twin turbo/supercharger. Im dying to put one on so if anyone could help me id appreciate it. Nobody else seems to be daring enough yet to try. so i dont have any thing to go by. Just want to see how much it beefens up the car..And this is no lie at all..Those old school Cyclone air flow systems that used to be on infomercials all the time actually worked on my car..LOL..it wasnt much but just goofing off the other day i stopped at Auto Zone and bought one for 35 bucks..put it right before the air filter box" 1st, no one is daring enough to go F/I because there are no F/I kits available because no one has cracked the computer yet! Heneesy and Fastlane have BOTH backed off from talking about the V6 because there is no way to tune the Bosch ECU... 2nd, you BOUGHT A TURBONATOR! (http://www.vorteccyclone.com/index.html) OMG... and buy the sounds of it "put it right before the air filter box" you didn't even install it correctly... ??? Also, does you contract cover you car when things go wrong... like they blow you motor up? So based on your own posts you will have your car back mid-september... http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showpo...3&postcount=35 Also, just because a company fabs up a proto-type and puts it on a car, do you realize how long it can take to turn that all that into a kit they can actually sell? Could easily be 12 to 18 months before a final product hits the market.... Good luck...

Lower insurance While driving normally, it will still consume less gas (better MPG) than the V8 He will end up with more HP and TQ than the *stock* V8 (this part is up the company to achieve, but those are the plans at least) The difference between the cheapest V6 (LS) to the cheapest V8 (1SS) is from ~22k to ~31K, that's ~9K Turbo V6's *can* run with the big dogs contrary to popular belief (i.e., GNX, Supra, Skyline just to mention a few) Lower weight Some people take pleasure in being the underdog, or at least letting other people think they are the underdog To be different If you are going for full racer, why not? When you buy the SS you are paying for a bigger motor, bigger brakes (although they stop the car in the same distance), stronger transmission and suspension. But if you plan on upgrading the suspension, brakes and the transmission (or going beyond the specs of the V8 transmission) anyway, then why pay for them in the first place? Buy the cheaper version, and upgrade the components and save on the long run. I'm sure there are more, but those are the few I could think about at the moment. p.s. Morgh, good luck and don't let a few people spoil your fun. Some of us still welcome your experiences in this project you are undertaking. These things take time. You will be one of the pioneers for the turbo V6 community p.s.s. I'm aware that "nobody" seems to be able to tune the computer system on the V6 at this time (besides GM i mean ); maybe the plan on going with a piggyback system? |

Guys, give the guy a break. We will be building the turbo kit for his car. He mistakenly thought it was Hennessey when we were first talking about doing it through pms but we straightened it out. He definitely gets really excited about his car and posts up a lot of things about it.
I have tuned many cars that other people couldnt figure out. I have used many oscilloscope readings to figure out exactly how to tune cars that people said cant be tuned. It is all the same, timing, fuel, and controlling it. The Bosch computers may not be able to be tuned as of now but there are ways around actually tuning the computer. With this setup, we are going to go very simple, and yes, it can be done. We will just use a FMU to raise the fuel pressure up like Vortech does on a lot of cars and wire up a SS box to do the timing. All the SS box needs is rpm vs boost and it will retard the timing coming from the crank/cam sensor. We will also be able to alter the maf voltage if needed. Taking out timing is a lot easier than adding timing, it is very possible with this setup. This will be a very simple, easy setup. If you have any more questions, please contact me. We will be offering this as a kit as well once we have everything done. Edit: Due to the DI on all of the V6s, we will have to figure out another way for the fuel but we will be able to figure it out. Last edited by JTinFL; 08-09-2009 at 06:32 PM. |
