i thought it only put out 140hp but i had someone tell me different any ways is there ne thing that i can do to make it have at least twice as many horses? thnx
all that for 7000 huh ?? stop waisting your breath..
we all know its not possible without serious modification as in re- read my last post ....
come on now a stock engine will not and i mean will not stay together with
huge boost.. there is no way a head gasket in a 3.8l could withstand anything more than 5 lbs of boost... seriously do you know how much boost you need to make 500hp?
let me give you a slight example 306ci, alum heads,and so on running 15lbs
of boost 450hp.. and blew a hole right into the top of the piston.. if it had the orig
head gaskets they would have blown out the first day guaranteed..
so how much boost do you think you need to make 500hp in a stock v6??.
and how long do you think it would last?
one more Q. what good is having all that power when none of it gets to the pavement.
the point was how he should spend the 7000.. does he have enough to basically gut and reinforce the car to handle the 500hp... definately not..
is he just dreaming ? yes he is..
ok so you got 350 extra hp bolted to a v6.. lets say you spend another 4000 to make it so the car dont fall apart.. subframe connectors, roll bar, trans, rear end,
and a **** load of expensive equipment to control boost....but guess what you just started the car with boost for the first time. and you blew the motor from having to much boost on the first day......now what???
got any more money?.. telling someone you dont know that this is possible is just plain ridiculous...i would feel guilty telling him it would work... knowing what it takes to get there .....
this is to much to take..lol...
if your planning on 500hp you can forget it, its not going to happen..
try a closer goal mabye like 300 which is possible..
theres two ways to do this...
1. buy a v8 car and supercharge it.. insurance rates is just a lame excuse..
yoiu still wont see 500hp but will be closer for less money..
90s v8 mustang 4000.00 +supercharger 3000.00....
2. turbo the v6 and you might see 300hp with that 7ooo.oo spent..
that means cash for a race ready v6 not your stocker..and someone has to pull it for free and put it back in..
i know i know your brother.. but how often do you see each other, it sounds like
you dont talk much,,not even knowing what he has for a car..
your the one that said he doesnt have time to look.. when is he going to find time for a couple month project?...
please dont waste everyones time with you little boy dreams...
you are an absolute dumbass... first of all you do not turbo charge anything domestic
add an intercooled twin turbo from tmaturbo.com, bolt up some LT headers
theres no way you can get close to 500hp on stock internals.
