Guest Anonymous Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 It's either a custom built setup or it's B/S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ismellrealbad Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 sounds like bullshit to me. if you have a 94 gtp with a 3.4 and 210 hp why all the work to dump in a 3.8 s/c to gain 30hp? If he actually did mean turbo to be honest i doubt you'd get more than 30hp out of it anyway cuz a turbo on a engine that size is gunna have shit for results. wait a minute....why does an s/c on a 3800 only gain 40hp over the regular 3800?? that sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgpguy21 Posted November 8, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 thats what i was thinkin. this kid has to be bullshitin. ill have to find him and check it out and ill let you guys know if it is a custom setup or the kid just doesnt know squat about his car. thanx for the info guys...

I know the SC's have 280......I'm hoping to push me sedan into the 12' or 13's by next summer when I plan to start modding/racing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grand Nationals and Sy/Ty's were all slow as shit. Must have been the turbo on a large engine! The M90 doesn't gain much because it's roughly 50% efficient (vs 75% for the average turbo) and the engine has a lower compression ratio.

The camaro ppl are doing a turbo kit and a centrifugal SC kit as well. They plan on running like 10psi, and they could run more. The only thing holding them back in the tuning, and tuning is a bitch on OBDII cars. Secondly, the SC 3800 has lower compression pistons than it NA brother, and it's only at 240hp/280tq because of tranny and warranty issues. My friends dad has a GP GTX and his tranny took a shit at 26,000 miles. He said when he got the car back that it felt a lot slower than before. Well, the dealership that changed the tranny under warranty probably reflashed his computer for a lower torque setting. 3800SII's rock, whether they are NA or SC.

mfewtrail Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 there is one guy that has done a Series II turbo conversion.....when i find the link I'll post it here......I believe it was at gmforums IIRC........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1trucavalier Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 more reason for the gtp to be equipped with a hi-po 5-speed tranny and stage 2 or better clutch. whats wrong with GM! think how many people who didn't get the 3800gp just for the fact that it only comes in auto. Thats the reason I didn't. I found a n/a gp 3800 for $5200 (total steal) but auto's truly suck!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had a 5-speed I'd have one as we speak, but alas they don't, and I will never have one. -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This somehow works out to have more torque. And I know of a 3800 turbo running around and i quote from the owner "its too damn fast". And "turbo on that sized engine" what!? As long as you match the turbo to the engine there are no problems. How about the turbo Corvette's and Vipers for an easy example. With that reasoning a they shouldn't be getting any results so i guess its a maricle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
