STS Turbo Question... Well i've bought another Bird
BUT its a six banger. Any issues with slapping an STS turbo kit on a V6 Bird? Anyone done this yet?
The car runs nice and strong but man driving it makes me miss my Formula
I needed to get a more reliable car from my lil woman Her POS sebring was on its last leg and this one is great, couldn't pass it up. Plus Jen(my girly) loves it.
So if slapping a STS on a V6 is advisable let me know. If not i'll slap a 100 shot on it and call it a day.

I've had several people ask me about it, but no-one has come with the money yet.
Putting the kit on would be easier than the LS1 and you could use the LS1 kit. Use a smaller turbo, maybe a GT-35/55. You wouldnt have to fit the MAF in the charge pipe, so that would be easier. Just find a tuning solution and your good.

Cool, Thanks. As for tuning, I have HP tuners and I'm pretty sure they cover this model/engine combo...but I have to double check that too. At 9.4-1 compression ratio, I'm sure I could do it reliably.
I'd do the FMIC that I did to my Formula and get the small turbo...keeping boost 5-6psi should put me in the fun zone
Now got to get the SO to think I'm doing a muffler on it

You know I have a 3.8l V6 Camaro, and would love to Turbo Charge it. It amazes me that there is not already a kit out there. There is more room in the engine compartment without the LS1 stuffed in there.

I made one and used a .63 A/R exhaust turbine housing. Use a .48 Housing if
you want it to spool up a little quicker. Works pretty well. Try to get the turbo that they use for the 6 cylinder Toyota Tacoma.

DOH! TIAGO BUDDY I completely forgot that you do these cars too. I think I might have a dyno video here on the computer of a V6 car with a front turbo would that be yours?
330rwhp is where I want to be with this thing.
I'll PM you in a few
