dirt cheap turbo kit
Hey
I was wondering if there is ANY type of forced induction for the 3.8 camaros. I found alot, but they are around 3500-4k and higher (turbos and s/c). I just want something cheap, not a 60mm turbo or anything great like that. I'm thinking I should piece one together, im sure I can save alot, but I don't know any turbo kit that is good that I can use to build my own kit =/
TIA!

RE: dirt cheap turbo kit
its gonna take alot of time, effort, and money to custom fab one or try to frankenstien one together....i dont quite remember but i think you said you owned a supra before? im gonna guess they had TONS for turbos and what not in the aftermarket sector. Not so much for the f-bodies. if you are really mechanically inclined you could swap in an l67, but that would again take alot of custom fabrication...alot of time...and money... anywhere you go with an f-body and the word "performance" there are going to be high prices.

They do have something like you want. Its not a turbo, but its a dirt cheap pro-charger. The Pro charger it self is only about $70, but you will need to build a custom spot infront of the engine for it to sit.
It pushes air at 120 mph, which isent the most boost, but its good.

"The 2006 Model RAM is now an 833 WATT, 60 amp axial-flow compressor that blasts out 3.0 lbs. of thrust at 800cfm"
it seems to me its not only for bimmers, its universal the way they're talking about it

walmart? lol, i actually laughed when the link loaded. so how would I use it? Should I make it somehow push air through the intake or straight to the intake manifold?[&:]
