My room mate has an S10 with a tiny *** V6 in it. It's a 2.something. It looks smaller than my 1.6 Honda motor.

I've got the big 4.3 V6 and -0- plans on boosting it. Ugliest ------- truck evAr and traction is an unknown mysterious phenomenon. I had a little run-in with the neighbors today and did a gigantic smokey burnout after almost beating the ---- out of this ------- down the street for trying to play security and tell me I'm exceeding the posted speed limit. Those are the only times I like the massive lack of traction the S10 has.

From what I know the GM computer is VERY chippable. I know of one guy (sean88Accord) who is running a GM ECU with boost. He knows how the ---- it works, but he doesn't post here that often. I think he's on 3geez? I dunno? It's very possible. You just have to talk to the right people.

this will show you how to read compressor maps. that way you dont pick out a turbo that is way too large, which is often the case....

Allright man, thanks alot! Ill check into those things. So if my ECM is programmable...then i wouldnt have to worry about going with a fuelmanagement upgrade? I was thinking about putting on some oversized injectors and messing around with the fuel PSI at the certain revs (to keep from flooding out at idle)...but all with using an FMU. Im relatively new to the fuel management stuff..thats the biggest gray area for me right now...and yes...my 2.2L is a 4 cylinder. My buddy has a 2.8L V6 in his Gen-I s-10, which is pretty small. Think of this...i think the mid-late 90's twin turboed indycars had between 2 and 3 litres of displacement but were V8s!...correct me if im wrong...

thanks!

Fuel management is the most important part of a turbo kit. If your ECU is programmable, than you need to learn how to program it

The pinnacle of F1 turbochraging was 87' where the cars were around 1.5L V6's. The Honda RA167E was the most sucessful FI motor. After 87' they than had to downgrade to NA V10's and haven't went back to turbos since than

Probably like super huge bores and pistons shorter than your pinky so they can rev to kingdom come!
