i need a turbo charger for a 3.8 camaro

[tyler p]

/\/\/\ sayes it all where how and how much

[98 3.8]

Better give some details. What do you already have done to your car? What specifically are your goals? Just to have a turbo? How much do you have to spend? Are you going to be able to do the work yourself?

[Turbo V6 Camaro]

by the way it sounds to me, you don't know much about the subject... your only hope for a kit is to find a used one in the forsale section, other then that you have to custom biuld your own, or have someone fab one up for you.

ok i have a 99 3.8 camaro i can get as much money as i need by this summer to do everything. i have been reading alot about the kits but i would like to have someone build a custom one and do all the mapping and tuneing for me. what i would like to have is a 10 sec v6 but i know i dont have that much money mostly i want to know what i will need. in order to get the most hp.i have to have a daily driver but with about 350 to 400 hp and be dependible. i am going to start saveing and hopefuly by this summer i could have it all put on and mapped. i just want to know how much boost and hp can i run with stock internals. and what i could get if i change the internals i hear you get better reliability. also my car is a Y87 auto it has a magnaflow and K&N filter and thats it. i was reading about the remote turbos and i hear they have a really bad lag to them and that is why i would like to have a front mount trubo. manly this whill be for the 1/4 mile and 1/8 i would like to run at least high 11s i know thats not real crazy maybe even low 11s. and what about running n2o with that type set up. i want a really fast car and i know im gona have to pay and im ready for that. oh yeah im in Ky is there anywhere close i can get some of the work done

i also wanted to ask about a supercharger i know you lose power with the pully but how much hp is it possible to get out of a RKsport supercharger and caan you ad an intercoller to that i didnt know if it would even help sence it is all self contained.

how much money do you have to spend? if you at my sig and check out my site... my goals at 10.99 in the 1/4 with my V6......

i dont see it happing on stock internals with the stock PCM you would need a FAST system (2000) tranny (3500) rear (1000-2500) and turbo kit (4000), drag tires and skinnies (1500-ish new) tuning (1000),track time, gas, things break ($????) roll bar (200-500 plus install)5 points (75-250) racing seat for diver side (100-1000)
suspention work (1000-2000-ish)

then theres the motor i have 5K into the motor (with labor) alone.

i/m not just pulling this off my head i have done about all this stuff so far !

350 to the wheels can be don on a stock motor with turbo, fuel upgrades and suporting mods, and tuning it not really that hard to get that number

did you read ANY of my last post? $4,000 will NOT do it maybe $10,000, 12,000 is possible, 15-20,000 will make it a lot easier

so you need about $10,000. more

about another 7-8k. if you havent noticed.... there are no 10second v6s as of yet. hell we only have one 11 second v6. it takes alot of money and some seriously hard work to get a turbo v6 running perfectly. we might actually see a few 11 second v6s this year FINALLY. keep in mind these guys have been working on their cars from a year to 2 years or more working out all the bugs. this isnt something that you can just slap together and run 10s.

if you can make the turbo kit (take A LOT of skill) that and few other things.... if not 4000 will probly about cover the kit and thats about it

You will also need headers and a higher perforcmance exhaust too. Check Viper's post, he has a bunch links and websites to browse through. His post helped me out A LOT! It should answer most, if not, all of your questions.

How much hp does a rksport super charger give you i hear they have a much faster throttle on the street and for a daily driver is funnier.
