Hey,

It's me again and this time it's about my 84 camaro V6. I'm doing a 350 swap as a matter a fact I'm going to pickup my 350 today to start terring it down and rebuilt it. I was woundering if it would be cool to tear it down and build it back up as a turbo car. I know it wouldn't be cheap and all. But would it make more since to rebuild it as a turbo car and slap a twin turbo set up on there ? I just think it would be somewhat odd and I would love teh top end involved.

Well if your making it turbo friendly you'll have to switch the cam to a cam that is geared toward forced induction cars. Usually cams with a 112LSA. You'll have to to run lower compression piston so you can utilize more of your boost. Compression is also controlled by what what cc the heads are. When you lower the compression the car will be slower than if you'd have high compression but once the turbo kicks in your power will power will come back strong. I dont think they make a turbo kit for your car so you'll have to do some fabrication. Also might want to make sure the rest of the car is ready for the power behind a V8 with a turbo.

 

Well taht's all I been hearing lately is that It's not gonna be cheap and there's gonna be a hell of alot of fabrication invovled too. But anyway the car isn't a OHC or anything so I dunno if it's still turbo-able. I'll stay posted though

 

I didnt mean to say you'll HAVE to change cams in my last post.. Just while the engine is apart you'd be smart too. I dont see why you want to drop that much money on a setup for a car that isnt even set up for your engine application. Why not just get a good running motor 350 or stroker in that car and you could be doing 12's with traction and still have it as a daily driver.

 

Yeah that was my first idea I though I'd jsut past this by you guys to see what you thought about the idea that's all.
