200hp 3.4l is it possible without power adder?

[pyrokilla]

Hey I have exhaust, no cat (not needed in my part of the world), CAI, plugs / wires. What more do I need besides headers to hit the 200hp mark?

[Justin Kirkham]

A lot.

Damn you funsters [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img] Who has some dyno's showing thier 3.4lhp......besides Tiago's insane turbo run [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img]

[95Batmobile]

If there was a damned dyno around here I'd go to it lol
There was one like 10 minutes away where I could run my car for free :D but the owner of the shop had to go to jail so the shop was closed...

2 things here... forget the 3.4L if you want sell it, buy a 96+ and get a 3.8L which is a much better engine with 200hp stock... just bite the bullet and lose the money which it'll cost to get the newer car... the L96 swap, whats with that you want a v8 with 240hp, whats the point of that, get an LT1 or LS1, or a better idea, sell your car, and buy a v8 f-body...

2nd point, whats up with you not needing a cat, i hate BC, why the hell do i need a cat, just because i live in the greater vancouver area, and ppl in the interior and the island dont, screw that, Canada is full of idiots who discriminate more than anyone else, and i thought canada was meant to be one of the most liberal places around, all i ever see is discrimination... this blows!!!

my 3.4 dynoed at 132 RWHP...

mods included.

K&N Air filter
Catco high flow cat
Cut out


I saw 126 RWHP with the cut out capped, so i gained 5 rwhp with open exhaust.


And i did 175 tq

You need all my bolt on mods plus internal engine work done. With these mods you should have over 200 Hp. And if we could ever re-program our PCM's right then it would add even more Hp.

Ive got my engine built and all I can say is my car is running like a beast! I havent put my car to the limit yet but I can tell that its going to be one fast mother fugger once the engine breaks in. Right now its got 240 miles on the engine.

How have you lost 30hp?

[ianwells100]

sorry to flame on you, but dude, seriously, RWHP... get it yet, you have stock 160hp at the FLYWHEEL... from flywheel to wheels (hence rear wheel horse power) you lose around 20%, so he is fine...

again sorry, but i'm in a bad mood, and that post was not needed...

and to Studly Camaro, i have a carsound hiflow cat on my car, that doesn't bother me, what bothers me is stupid, hypocritical canadian people who run a corrupt 'aircare' program, which i have to pay $48 for every 2 years, which doesn't bother me, but its the fact that just because i live in the greater vancouver area (i live 40 mins away from vancouver), i have to do this, but other people in BC dont, thats crap, lets make all the air cleaner, and make everyone do it... that'd be a much better idea, and less discriminatory

Right, thanks. Ya, here on VI we don't have aircare yet, but we will get it one of these years im sure.

200 HP out of a 3.4L? Of course it's possible. A ****ing 2.2L 4 cylinder can put out 200 flywheel, why can't a 3.4L?

In fact, there was a 3.4L that CAME with 200 horsepower, STOCK. 200 horse, 215 torque. Enter the 3.4L Dual Twin Cam V6 found in some Lumina Z34 in the early-mid 90s. Remember them?

I mean, I still raped one pretty badly, but it's in the power-range you're looking for. Do a swap, buy a rear-end-wrecked Lumina Z34 with the 3.4L Dual Twin Cam V6.

[MustangEater8251]

The DOHC 3.4L is crap don't ever get a ca with that motor its the biggest nightmare fo nightmares of a motor to own...


A guy swapped Series II 60* v6 heads onto his 3.4L f-body, I think he had a little over 200 hp. But he had to have custom headers made, since the exhaust ports are shaped differently.


I think you would regret buying a 3.8L... I am trying to avoid everything I can to get one, even if it is a wonderful deal.

why??? i had a 3.4L camaro with catback and CAI, went to a stock 3.8L and there was a world of difference, and now i have the catback and CAI for my 3.8L its even better, and gets better fuel economy... i don't get what you mean above????

no offence, but the 3.4L engine's a really bad engine compared to the 3.8L, i dunno why ppl are so dear to them...
