AWESOME!

I knew you said your car was almost done didn't hink it was that close. As for the readiotor, the car was sitting for a bit. SOunds like its working great.

As for what was said SBC rods are slightly compatible with the 3.4L, just needs a little modification.

what he siad is true about the rods. you jsut have to bush the piston pin and machine the flat part of the big end too the size of the stock 3.4 rod. not too expensive but not too cheap eiher.lol

what size turbo do you have? if it is the saem as mine you will not be able too drive without rebuilding the motor for high boost levels.

[fred slawson]

Did you have to have the after market hood for clearance issues?

[camaro baseT]

mine may be slightly smaller but im sure my motor will be able to drive it for a while. i will be running 7 psi if i dont build up my motor. maybe 17 if i do since i am not going extreme. some1 tell me if im wrong.

[mattsv6]

what size is the turbo? any idea? my turbo is awfully large and i had too do alot of custom things too get the motor too handle it. but good luck with your car.

[camaro baseT]

i have no clue what size is it. i will tell u measurements ok. 7 in. tall comp., 3 in. comp. outlet, 4 in. comp. inlet, 8 in. turbine, 4.5 in. turbine outlet, split turbine inlet. does this make any sence? i hope so. i think it came off a diesel p.u. who knows? but it was freeeeeeeeeeeee so ?

[xjarayax]

sounds like a powerstroke turbo

[camaro baseT]

what a/r size would that be then. i am tryin to figure out the comp. map for it so i can check for efficency. then i can try to talk my dad into lettin me. i think i can also get my older "genious" brother to help me fine tune. he is a v8 fan and he doesn't think i can do it. i will show him. ya baby [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Get some pics so we can loook. That thing sounds way too big, and then you are going to put it on your car, not be able to spool it up, and your dad's going to make fun of you for not getting a V8!

Seriously, figure out what kind or get pics before you start any fabrication. It would suck to work on it for months and then not be able to get any gains out of it.

if that is the same turbo, then it is WAY too big for the street...

[camaro baseT]

are you sure you know what your talkin about nocutt? That turbo is only a t04b it aint that big. i know that p.u. have it and its stock. u cant tell me that its even close to as big as a t66 and they're on the street in a 4 banger by what ive read. so if u dont mind i would like a more educated opinion. i may be a rookie in here but i have done my homework. so plz nocutt if ur gonna say somethin back it up by fact. and i'm not meanin to attack either.
