3.4, 3500 heads, thicker gaskets to drop the compression, and a single T3/T4 Hybrid resting between the front of the block and the radiator is all the pep you'll ever need. don't believe me??? talk to Dave (Project89) on Thirdgen.org. his 3.1 powered car went 13's on the T3/T4, and still got around 30mpg on the highway. and he's put only $2800 into his car. on his bigger turbo he was mid 12's. and the car was garage built, he did everything himself.

 

beleave me thats what i've been planing on doing since i bought the car, if i had the money i'd drop a buick grand national 3.8 in it, but that would run me around 5,000.00 to 6,000.00, i found a nice gerret turbo kit on ebay for 1800.00 i plan on useing that

 

Didnt that 2800 include the car too?

 

yes. he got it for $500 non running. funny thing is, it started out as a 2.8 car, lol

 

Lol, he inspires me to do that to my 89. Ive been making plans for a 3.4 with 3500 heads. You got any idea how much that would run me? Ive been trying to find a price range. And isnt he daves12secv6?

 

yes what would it cost?

 

i'm not really certain on the cost for the 3.4 build.

no, Dave is Project89

daves12secv6 has a 'Bird iirc

 

Ive decided to scrap the 3.4 anyway, i plan on pulling my 2.8 stroking it to 3.1 and putting on some alum 3400 heads. Then do the turbo the way dave did it.

 

i just wanted to thank everyone for the help
