i know the corsica had a 3.1l turbo in the late 80's early 90's how hard would it be to pull the turbo off and put it on my 97 monte ls. has it ever been done? and would it help much in the hp department i also wanna modify my aier intake bigger cone better air flow maybe net alittle torque?

 

I'm not aware of any model Corsica coming with a turbo 3.1. I do know that that era Grand Prix came with one and the turbo took the 3.1 v6 from 135hp to 205hp, so it's possible that you could get a similar gain if you took the setup from a Grand Prix. However, they're very rare, so good luck finding that.

Best air intake would be a fenderwell. You won't really see a difference from installing a bigger cone air filter in.

 

When was there a turbo in a Corsica?

 

Not even the same motor if its the 3.1 V6 they used in the grand prix turbos

 

well what would you guys say as far as modifying the width of the main air intake?

 

as far as i know the corsicas never came turboed but like they were saying the grand prix's had them, it was actually a partnered design with mclarren. I don't know much about turbo's at the moment but i honestly wouldn't do to much modding to a 3.1L, if you want a big hp gain then go to a 3.8 or supercharged 3.8.

 

Honestly it's not worth your time and money to heavily mod a 3.1 even an intake would require a battery change and washer fluid bottle move or remOval. Assuming this is just your daily driver, it's best to just leave it stock

 

Agreed. Except I do have a FWI.. couldn't just leave it stock :p

Save your pennies and drop in a L67. That willl be the best bang for your buck.

 

Turboing the 3100 would give you about the same gains (likely with less torque) than just dropping in a 3800. At least with the 3800 swap you'd have a lot more upward potential.
