Juice or Boost

Im up the air with what i wanna do with the monte carlo and its power adder ordeal. Its ready to get the guts sprayed out of it but i like the idea of a lil turbo setup considering turbo is free HP to a 25% lose of supercharger setup.

I plan on runnin a single turbo setup nothing big, maybe a gt35r or sc67...

what do ya think

 

I'm sold on turbo EFI systems. You can get decent mileage, better HP improvements, AND, you can add water injection and get even better MPG and HP/Torque output. I'm on the hunt for a good setup for sometime next year.

 

Well IFFFFFFF it works out im going lsx swap (lq9 w/ ls6 heads) single turbo backed up with T brake th350

 

This is on the Monte, right? Would they all be stock upgrades from later years? I haven't been around GM cars since 1975.

HandyAndy found a sweet Ford six setup in Aussie for an Aussie 250 Ford CID engine. Hope he follows up on it.

I'm gonna watch out for a Ford 2.3L car for the Turbo and plumbing/electronic setup.

I'll betcha you'll never see daylight from under the car or on top once you shoehorn a turbo setup in there. Small price to pay for efficiency.

 

Yeah its for the monte, really only thing stock will be the block and heads everything else will be replaced. lol i plan on runnin a few pounds lol


Theres Plenty of room!!!!!

 

Plenty of room?

Must be one small turbo or one big shoehorn.

If you ran a top mounted Supercharger, it would be a snap, but you've got exhaust loops to deal with from the manifolds.

 

Yeah with the turbo manifolds ill be using it will set the turbo outward to the right LOL i test fitted some turbo manis with the 406 and its gonna fit wondeful lol

 

Ah, so there are components for that block. Good stuff!

 

I always liked N/A stuff but my buddys got a twin turbo 462 bbc 85 monte carlo ss and since then ive been wantin to boost something and im lookin at ideas and thinkin of stuff an gettin there lol

 

My first and only Turbo was a 1966 Corvair Monza HT with a paxton turbo, and it was a lady in the city, but a junkyard dog on the highway.

From what I've read, the compression has to be down around the mid 8 to 1 to low 9 to 1 ratios. I think my corvair was around 8.8 to 1.

 

Yeah the pistons in the 406 is around 11 to 1s LOL but the lq9 6.0liter will have 8 to 1s and all forged interals (comp star rods callies crank daimond pistons)

 

Sounds solid! Does that include an intercooler too?

 

Lol. When i get the cash the short block will be about 3500 bucks then u gotta add the rest haha.. i plan on runnin a larged GN IC

For the time being shes stayin carbd 406

 

Fill up those piggy banks.

 

imho....nitrous is cheating
