Aussie V6 Turbo

Re: Aussie V6 Turbo
Actually Ive been witness to more than 1 3.8l turbo failure. Most of the hardcore GN guys think the 4.3L is a better engine...something about crank design I think.
4.3L = 305 with 2 cyl knocked off. Small block parts are aplenty. Noel

actually the 4.3l is based off of the 350ci sbc
they are pretty reliable as well

Re: Aussie V6 Turbo
the 4.3l came on many full size Chevy trucks, as well as full size GMC trucks, as well as Chevy s10's & blazers, gmc sonomas & jimmys. As well as astro vans, and maybe even a few more vehicles. In limited production they were turbo charged and added to gmc sonomas, and jimmys to produce the syclones, and typhoons that produced 285hp and around 360ftlbs TQ off of a 17c turbo, many believe that these numbers are a little underated because of the trap speeds these vehicles are able produce.

A well maintained 3.8 t-type or GN is one of the more potent cars on the streets, even after allll these years. A lawyer in this area has a white GMC Typhoon. I like the idea of the truck, but that thing seems to be a pile...

Heh! been a while! The aforementioned car eneded up being a drift car for a while, and eventually the inveitable happened......... the boys in blue decided it was 'unsafe' and 'unroadworthy' , and as such the car ended up being scrapped for parts!
In the meantime, though, I was already working on the latest project, so I figured I'd show off what I've been busy with - same kinda car, just a slightly different choice of turbo and motor... as always, all work done @ home in the garage! (except for a few bits of welding! - i.e. the exhaust manifold lol)
