Default Turbo Hummer H3 build.

Snuck a few shots from a local shop Fatal Performace and thought it was pretty cool so I'd post some pictures. All black chrome piping with a nice 60-1 ball bearing turbo. Should make about 350 on a stock inline 5 motor.

That's the exact reason. They are underpowered, overweight, brinks. They need the power to get up to speed and to make driving easier.

I stopped liking them every since I found out they only came with an I5. They should have gotten a 4.8 minimum. Honestly with the hummer name, they should got the 6.0 and the H2 should have gotten the duramax.

What ur nutz. Could they have done better yes. And more power yes. But looks hands down hottest out there. Looks tough right from the gate. But def needs more power. Unfortunately not a big gm fan first gm I ever owned and I'm 40. Ran my H3 in the ground. Every thing still sold. No rust leather wore out driver seat. But solid. Just under 300thou. No bull. Only water pump and alternator replaced once. Oil changes every 7gs sometimes more few times 12gs. No leaks any where. Still running like a champ! Pulled it for a 6 cylinder dodge desiel. My avatar pic is what is going in there. Cant wait keep u all updated as it goes.
