They make custom fitted units? Link please.

 

yea those turbo blankets are sweet

 

hey, well i just ordered new manifolds anyway, the ones i made flow ok, but being a v6 and a big turbo it was hard to fabricate without any exhust leaks, manifolds were cheap anyway it moves the turbo to the front of the engine.... ohwell you cant rip on me for not making my own manifolds.... i wanna see 10s in this car, the new manifolds are steam pipe and look like this

 

nice work on turboing the commy, BUT, about the above, you are wrong.

the calais turbo had the rb30et engine. there is only such a thing as an rb30det AFTER some mad ---- has been messing around with the jap 2.5 or 2.6 dohc engine, and the jap/oz 3.0 sohc engine, and merged them creating a monster. no such luck. if commodores had ever had an rb30det, they would have kicked everything, and been more popular.

thats my only whinge.

keep up the good work. the cars looking cool!

 

Hey frad you know this is a old tread right?

 

I used to have a 98 regal GS....with the 3.8 supercharged......
that thing was pretty fast....for a big *** 4 door
i think its quartermile time was high 14's

They have a website just for 3.8 gm www.thrashercharged.com
they got 12 sec daily driver regals like that

 

i'm going to come to your house and beat you up if you dont post a video soon

 

yeah, i know its an old thread, but that is a huge inaccuracy, and i felt the need to correct it. if someone reads through to the end, they'll see the truth now. whereas before it was ------ing lies and ignorance further around the world creating more noob problems that i know you lot soooo enjoy :-)

 

Theres a ton of GM sites running around with quite a few handfuls of 10-12 second FWD GM's and I think a few have actually got into the 9's with full interior and such. Pretty sweet.

So tempted to do something similar with the buick

 

yea there is a little hurd of pontiac guru's in town here that have gtp's and a couple of them are in the 12's
