heheh well over in the states its a FWD engine sorry to inform you but they're ALL RWD over here, yep... tyre smokin fun!
we had one over here running 11s @10psi.... ran 12s on street rubber and made 323hp @ rear wheels
yeah the engines called the LN3
LN3 Naturally Aspirated
An LN3 installed in a 1989 Pontiac Bonneville. This engine produced 165 hp and 210 ft·lbf of torque.

In 1988, the 3800, also known as the LN3 RPO designation was introduced, and these engines would later be loosely considered the Pre-Series I, although the older 3.8 SFI (LG3)was still available that year in some models. Designated initially by VIN code C, the 3800 LN3 was a major redesign, featuring changes such as a balance shaft, on-center bore spacing, use of a 3x/18x crank-trigger system, and other improvements. This generation continued in use in several GM products, including Australian Holdens, into the 1990s. It produced 165 hp (123 kW) from 1988 through 1991. The LN3 is very closely related to the L27 and Series I Supercharged. In fact, supercharger-related hardware can be fitted to an LN3 without changing the cylinder heads (ECM reprogramming required).
spent some more work on it today, shes ready for more welding give me a few days and ill be done...
i even made the wastegate flange and BOV flange my self out of 5mm thick mild steel, a drill, a angle grinder, a die grinder with tungstun carbide cutters and a vice...!!! now thats HMT style :P
yeah i can tell you they go hard and when fitted to a 1300kg RWD car backed by the turbo 700, they're rockets to 80km/h

Re: 3800 v6 Home Made Turbo Project!!!!
hehe drain into the valve cover? (i think its called rocker cover)
the project is getting there.. should be done by this weekend
providing the manifolds dont have any obsticals , if anything ill have to cut/reweld the wastegate on a better angle
