hey guys! well i am geting borad of my v8 s10:( so i want to make my 97 3.8 fast "i think it would be cool to have a fast v6". so i am geting a spare block so i can go all out on it while i still drive it. my plan is to build this motor for high boost with a custom turbo setup "my brother has offerd to help out and he is a VAREY good tig welder" so i need to know what parts i should put in this thing as far as rods pistons, gaskets,good barings. you know stuff like that.
diamond has pistons ~$600 for uncaoted and ~900 for coated
get the 3800 Series III con rods (they are factory forged and know one has broke one yet ~$250 for the set of 6)
ARP the bottom end
MLS head gaskets and ARP head studs
Good bearings (most use cleavite tri-metal) but other top brands work to
then get some heads and a cam from abbott racing
then make a turbo kit... if you bro has the skills make a FFH kit like mine (see pic)
if M5 car beef up the 5 speed or it will explode...... if auto get a stall and beef it up
hey thanks for the info. yea my bro realy wants do to it as well. thanks for the pic it should help to make so references, also what size turbo/brand do you like the most for the 3.8 ? saw the your reply to the old post ive got a 12 bolt that should hold up
T-70 or bigger if you are really serious about this.
If you go bigger than T-70 it must be a BB, otherwise you will have trouble reaching full boost quick.
No bigger than like a T-76 if BB go with liek ..... .84 A/R if not .63 or so
cool thanks for all the help! i think we are going to start fabing the turbo system soon, so what kind of piping did you use? ex stanless or what,just got a powder coater and it should work sweet on this, also did you start with some kind of header and chop them up to make them work?
