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
