As some of you know i traded my Monte for the new 2013 malibu. Love the car runs smooth and is great in gas but i missed my old Monte so bad I'm going to get another one! only this time I'm thinking about getting a NA series 2 and throwing a turbo on it. Found a motor and tranny (stock) for 150! Miles are only 100k and was wondering how turbo charging this motor would work? Any feedback on the Monte guys out there that have turbo builds? Very excited to feel that power again Lol

 

Awsome job dude, I cant really say much on the turbo part...Hows the malibu working out? Did u get the turbo in that?

 

Thanks man unfortunately i didn't. A bit out of my price range the ltz turbo Malibu so i stuck with the 1lt at an awesome price! 19k for my Malibu compared to the 35k they wanted for the turbo ltz lol

 

Tell us more about your motor/trans ? What year ? What did it come out of ? Are your going to rebuild your engine/trans ? What do you plan on putting it in ? What is your budget ?

Below is your MCF Homework assignment I hope it helps U

  Feb 9, 2010 – Turbocharging a car seems like a simple process of bolting on parts and magically you have a turbocharged high horsepower vehicle.
  

 

Once you own a Monte you can never Really go back... Welcome back to the Monte side

 

LOL... Too much. So is the new Monte already secured??? And is it a "project car" and you'll keep the Malibu as a daily??

 

Hate to say it but would have been cheaper just to fix your old monte,

 

I never did like homework thanks for the info though trust me I'm going to do tons of research lol

The engine and trans is coming out of a grand prix 99. I am going to rebuild everything camming asap and forging the pistons. Making sure my trans will be able to withhold the power i want which is 400whp minimum! Big goal i know but yes it's going to be my new project

Only problem is...idk ANYTHING about turbos! lol any recommendations?

Yea might of been cheaper to fix her up but the dealer showed me my Monte yesterday morning...they test drove it too long and blew up the trans! so I'm glad i traded it in lol
I found a 2002 ss monte here for 850 with no motor or trans perfect body other than a worn out passenger seat. Replaceable though

Might take me a while to get her turbocharged cuz it is a project but I'm going to say i wanna shoot for 11s in 2yrs

 

12s is probably more reasonable. Hooking up these cars is not the easiest.

ZZPerformance.com look at the Z7 and you should have your goal with an intercooler.

Don't worry about forging pistons or any of that. These blocks are beasts. Truthfully if you were sourcing an engine, I would get an L26 block.

 

Ding - Second that motion. More specifically, get an '05+ (not '04) L26. THose are the ones that GM supposedly put the forged internals. You will also hit the floor with an aluminum UIM. At that point, it's an adaptor plate, L26 TB and you have a working Series III engine in a Series II car. Frank is a good resource on been there done that (no turbo though) lol
