Turbo the V6!!!!!!!!!!!
hey, i finally got round to getting all the bits i needed for this project
the car: 1989 Holden Calais the engine: 3.8L Buick v6 N/A compression ratio of 8.5:1 fresh top end, Crow Cam Heavy Duty Valve springs new valves valve stem seals ACL headgaskets full gaskets and all that stuff engine components tripple checked, headbolts/inlet/rocker bolts properly matched (by my self :P) brought all the flanges off ebay and welding them up next week done a bit of research on the turbo thats right for me and chosen a Master Power T04E A/R 0.68 (inlet compressor wheel i think) should spool round 3000rpm (turbo map looks to be a good match and lots of people use this turbo for my engine) external HKS 10PSI wastegate 2 bar map sensor (to tune it for boost) bigger injectors front mount intercooler hoping for 200-240rwkw out of this setup tuned right (its doable) and for it to run 13s total cost is around $2000AUD (yes im in australia) picking the turbo up on saturday so ill post pics when i get the rest of the gear |
Re: Turbo the V6!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Turbo the V6!!!!!!!!!!!
Is that 3.8 the same basic motor that was in the GN/Regal-T?

Re: Turbo the V6!!!!!!!!!!!
i would say yes

Re: Turbo the V6!!!!!!!!!!!
It may be the same as in my 89 toronado that was turbocharged...This engine responds very well....The tranny, not so well (stock with 140k) .I assume the Holden is RWD?

Re: Turbo the V6!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes they put the 3.8 in about everything they could. Kinda like the d series. My dad had one in his buick station wagon

Re: Turbo the V6!!!!!!!!!!!
If this is the FWD 3.8 it is NOTHING like the 3.8 rwd engines buick used to have, as in the GNX...
