My recommendation would be to sell the car and use the money you have + the money from the car sale and start with an LS1 car. Then down the road put FI on that car. If you want to stay with the V6, I don't know if there is a kit. Maybe you would have to do something custom.

I know there was a guy on here that had/has a v6 bird he did a turbo to and about 15psi or so and it turned out maybe 400-450 at the wheels and you could get that with a heads and cam+bolt on ls1. So IMO it's not worth the time and hassle. Start with a ls1 car and go from there.

There's a powerdyne kit for the v6. I ran one on mine for a while. If you can find one used, complete, they're pretty reasonable. (around 2k) They pop up on ebay and firebirdv6.com from time to time. Rksport was selling the kit new.

Do you often refer to yourself in the third person? Just curious. Thought that was funny.

Anywho, I believe the web site is fullthrottlev6.com or something, but I think thats where all the V6 fbody guys go for their tech stuff. They would probably know more than us, since this site is more Ls1 oriented.

Well, yeah, save up for an LS1.

Go with the STS kit. Just order it with the smaller A/R turbine housing designed for the six cylinder Tacoma engines. It will work great and is jsut about an exact fit with the exception of a few intake modifications.

There is a member on ls2.com called korben that has a turbo 6 cyl f body. He might actually be on here too.

I would recommend speaking with him.

Check this car out. There are many ways to add a turbo, and keeping the stock exhaust manifolds can make the kit more durable. Bob

Bob, What #'s did that Grand Am put down? What gains did you get out of the frozen intercooler? My daily driver is an 03 Grand Am GT hmmm...

We are actually in the middle of rebuilding this engine with forged internals. We should have the block maching done by this coming Monday, then we're going to up the boost slightly. I don't remember what it put down before, but I'll be adding more info as we get it. I'm not sure how much power the transmission can take, though... The cold intercooler usually gains us another 20+ rwhp. You can feel the difference in power when you hit the switch. Bob
