help please, swap or turbo

[Rhadamanthe]

what would be better and cheaper to my car. do the swap to ls1(what do i need to do that) or put some turbo kit, Iam always looking for a punch of v8 power, what do you guys think?

Just buy the ss camaro and save yourself money and be time ahead.

whats the extent of your knowledge about cars? i mean mechanical knowledge, not overall 'change your oil' knowledge

[93camaro_zzz]

The more I think about it, I would have to agree with Razzer. But then theres insurance. I dont know, its a toss up. Good luck. ;)

yeah, just buy the SS.

[bu-bye]

yeah buy a z or ss. Insurance would have been only like $20 more a year for me when I was 19. I think that was like Gieco or one of the other big online companies.

i agree...buy an SS or Z28...to do the swap you need the tranny, computer, front shocks, gas tank, radiator, and more sh*t thats gonna cost you more money.....then think about doing turbo/supercharger on that ;)

Maybe I'm alone here, but I'd rather have a turbo 6 than an 8. You've gotta love that screech.

[FireStorm]

nobody has answerd his question yet? i'd like to know the answer as well

what if one person has put so much money into other aspects of their car besides the powertrain that it would not be feasable to sell it and go back to stock everything on a new z28 or SS....

anyway, question was, whats better and cheaper, swap a v8 in or blow the v6... anybody have an idea?

swap goign to cost $3k-6k and lots of time and work, a turbo goign to cost 3k with not much work involed

[96_Fbird]

what if you did the swap but rebuilt an old ls1 engien price get ne lower since the engine block would prob cost less?

i know some1 has done this before becuase i was thinking out swapping and still am and a members name was mentioned ill try n look to see whos 4 u

[96_Fbird]

i believe it was magnus who did it to his 97 bird and i know this site used to sell used ls1 engines LS1magnus also had a list of what you needed for the swap never got my hands on it but if you do lemme know

[Riles]

I vote for a turbo. I believe somebody just dynoed at 347 rwhp at only 10 psi. Thats more than you would be putting down with the LS1, and arguably for a lower price. Not to mention you get to tell everybody you beat them in a 6!
