3.4 Turbo Project_Info Needed!

I'm thinking about turning my stock 95 3.4 Firebird into a turbo car. I don't want to have to modify the ECM at all. I'm told I can do this with only 5-6psi of boost. Is this true? Will I need bigger injectors for such low boost or can I just use an FMU? I have read that the CR is 9.0-1 with stock pistons. (info from gmperformanceparts.com) Using 5-6psi of boost what will my CR be? I may want to swap in the 3400 parts (Intake, Pistons and Heads) later. Also, I am unable to find any camshafts the can be computer controlled on the stock tune, does anyone know of any?

Re: 3.4 Turbo Project_Info Needed!

You'll want to talk to the guys at CamaroV6.com There's one guy selling all his 3.4L Turbo stuff.
I've turbo'd a 3.8L in a 98 Camaro for a customer but the 3.4's are a different breed.
You'll need HP Tuners for tuning, fuel pump and fabrication of the headers/downpipe and oil feed/return.
Good luck,
Scott~

Re: 3.4 Turbo Project_Info Needed!

You need to do tuning any time you plan on boosting an engine. I can't see why anyone would'nt retune the ecm any time they modified their engine. You need a rising rate fpr to compensate for boost. Larger injectors are a given, the stock ones are only safe to ~170hp. The 3.4's stock cr is about 9.3/1. The stock cam is a good choice for boost because it has -20* of valve overlap, but will limit your rpm potential. Look for cams with no valve overlap for boost.

Re: 3.4 Turbo Project_Info Needed!

I've looked all over the web and asked around and have found no tuners or really anything for the OBD 1.5 system. Who would I need to talk to about getting my ECM retuned?

Re: 3.4 Turbo Project_Info Needed!

OBD1.5 code has only been cracked by a couple of people, and not even completely.

You are better off going to OBD1, OBDII, or using a standalone ECM (like MegaSquirt).

Take a look at 60 degree V6, there's tons of help there.

Re: 3.4 Turbo Project_Info Needed!

I'm not even sure anyone has hacked into the 3.4 ecm. Your best bet would be to revert to a v6 '730 or get a megasquirt and a standalone trans computer.

I thought in 95, the trans was still non-e?

I don't know if it's fully computer controlled, but he'll need something for tcc control anyway. I think the '700s that came behind v6s stayed mechanically-controlled longer than the v8 versions, but I could be wrong.
