Re: turbo question
First of all the turbo you are installing from the truck may be too big for your 3.4. Please list all current mods.
You can run a turbo safely without upgrades at around 5lbs of boost, 18-20 is extremely risky even with upgraded internals as the L36 was not an engine made to handle boost. A general "safe" level is usually from 7-10 psi. upgrades would be recomended, I did heads, cam, rods, rollers, 65# Injectors, double timing, MLS gaskets. There are a lot of mods to consider before setting a boost goal. So first off bring your boost goal way down. Find someone to make you pipes for the turbo, FFF? and give trim sizes of the turbo if possible. -

The only reply i'm going to make to this is that it should be in the "Forced Induction" section.Black \'94 Trans Am A4- SLP CAI & Loudmouth<br />Red \'93 Firebird A4- Ram Air under the WS6 hood, !cat, exhaust.Comment

Re: turbo question
Actually if you swap the internals its not a L36 anymore its more like a GTP engine which is made for boost.Originally posted by UDLOSE98Comment

Re: turbo question
you mean an L67.
that turbo might be too big and will take a little while to sp00l.2k2 camaro, K&N, SLP whisper lid, Konis, AEM, HP Tuners, Angel eyes/Halos, CF SS ram air hood, 4.10s, Zexel Torsen, UMI SFCs, CrossFire, BFGs, Gatorback, Catco, Flows, and TLC! DONT feed the Trolls!Comment

Re: turbo question
rite now all i have done is wires, cold air, and exhaust, but before i plan on turboing it i was going do heads, intake plenum, fuel rails, and injectors. i figured the turbo was going to generate too much boost, and i knew lag would be a problem its ok though i got it for free:) . thanks for the inputComment

Re: turbo question
Post the model numbers/brand of the turbo.
It may not spool at all depending on type/size.Comment

Re: turbo question
i would think an HY or HE holset would flow nice and spool really quick, we use them on our 2.3 fords and love em91 Mustang LX 2.3 Turbo - T5<br />-daily driver, 210hp/300ft-lbs (outdated)<br />94 Ranger Splash 2.3 Turbo - T5<br />-serious build up, shooting for 400+hp<br />95 Camaro 3.4 auto -hers<br />-she\'s workin on itComment

Re: turbo question
yeah, I looked at a LOT of turbos, and normally I'm inclined to agree (I don't trust a lot of what I see for sale)..but these are priced identical to market value apparently http://www.turbochargers.com/store/i...dd6db0e9be24d8Originally posted by viper04af

Re: turbo question
thanks.
"We have many housings in stock for your application needs."
I wonder what the hell that means. *shrugs* I asked for a .68 a/r exhaust housing for the T62-1.Comment
