Yeah, I would stick with the Impala idea....


Along with the turbo you have other things that have to be replaced/upgraded to make it all work properly on a 3800.

 

now taking donations for Mickeys ride to have a turbo kit on his shopping list. and also the intercooler kit.

Any one have 5000. for me to get the whole thing pluse shipping and handeling?

I take small unmarket bills and large ones to as long as they fit in the envolope to send to me .

Man that would be fun to do to some of the SRT-4's around here with the blow off valves that they rev and release all of the time here.
kind of funny what thier faces would be to see and hear a monte doing it. lol

 

hmm say i wanted to either supercharge or turbo charge my 84 monte carlo SS..hmmmm anyone got any web sites for that??or like tips for horse power gains in because this car pretty soon is goign to be racing up at the lebenon drags......i need all the horse power i can get...

the Paxton chargers are pretty good and im sure they have one to fit your car if you want to go S/C

as far as a turbo just do a serch for one for your motor in googel and it should give you some results. I have the 3800 in a 03 monte im not sure it is will work on yours or not most likly not. But it was threw ZZ preformance i belive then or it would ahve been threw PFYC.com

 

I'm really seriously thinking about turbo charging Monte, and if I hang out for just a couple of months I will be able to afford it no problem, the only thing I would be worried about is this: What all would you need to change internaly so as to not destroy the engine. New cams maybe? New pistons or valves? How about the trans-axle? Would you need to get stronger shafts or what? Adding 100 HP is quite a big jump compared to what we are doing now. Now I saw that turbo is capable of up to 40 PSI, but they were reporting 80-100 HP gains at 15-20 PSI. What does everyone think would be the max boost you would be able to cram into a 3800 without blowing gaskets or something.

 

Sorry... I was passing bum scoop. The turbo is pre-set at 9-10 PSI and they are reporting almost 100 HP gain, but is capable of up to 30 PSI. How crazy is that ****?

 

A few sites report that the 3800 engine is capable of producing 500 horses without getting into hte internals sure you would have to do injectors and probably a custom tune but no internals. BUT the transmision is said to only handle 300 Horses before you have to upgrade the internals on that!!!!

 

Those are 20's you say? I have 18's and I've always wondered how big I could go without it looking stupid, but those look pretty sweet man. I'd like to see more pics of the wheels.

 

Are you talking about my car? If so yeah they are 20s rapped with falken 255-35-zr20 tires and thanks as soon as i get a chance i will put up some realy good pics of them

 

does anyone know anything about turbo charging a 3400 sfi. this would be for my 2005 monte ls, don't even ask why I didn't get a3800 (that's still a sore spot). But i figure with a right sized turbo and a catback exhaust, maybe some new headers.. i should be able to gain as much horsepower as some of you 3800's.
