Has anyone installed a TCI Rattler on their V6's? I went onto Jegs website, and it came up under the '87 Camaro V6 application. Went onto Summit's website, and of course it isn't listed as being applied for our engines; this isn't uncommon though. The balancer is part# TCI-870022
There was 1 member trying to sell one not to long ago, though. 91convert I would see if 69charger383 still has his, if you still want to go that direction.
I want to take off the FI and put a regular manifold and carb either a two or a four barrel on my V-6, 2.8 engine, and want to put a set 3.1 head instead of what on there now, also I am having a problem with the rear end sagging so much wide tires are rubbing the inner fender wells. Can any
body out there that can help me or point me in the right direction with these problems.
first i would start with springs and shocks back there and if you're thinking of racing it go with some double adjustable panhard bars for like 300 for all helps you hook better.
Hi can you give me the link to webpage that is selling Full rebuild gasket set for 3.1 engine?
it would be also great if you could advise me gasket set of which brand is better.
thanks
i am about to be rebuilding my engine in my 2.8 and i am going to go with a different cam than stock, but dont know which would be better this lunati one from summit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/LUN-06312/ or this comp cam set from them http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-K16-232-4/ . any suggestions? i am also going to be putting the pacesetter headers on there and bringing the exhaust straigh back, x-piping it close to the diff and then bringing it into a magnaflow 2 inlet 2 outlet muffler. sound good?
That Comp Cam set is the usual "set" price, but also on the expensive side. I purchased the Crower CompuCam stage 1 for mine which has a comparable rpm range, but with a higher lobe separation angle for better fuel economy; 114 degrees instead of the 110 that the CompCam has. 112 degree lobe separation angle is the factory stock spec which with everyone else factory set is suppose to give 28mpg I believe. A good cam better than the comp cam would be the Edelbrock or Melling which have good numbers for your future dual exhaust set-up.
Question for you though: How would you run your dual exhaust from headers designed for use of a Y-Pipe. The drivers side of the headers are not straight downward angled to run straight back down the car from.
Also, I'm not sure how earlier model headers are shaped. Maybe they both evenly run straight back for what your wanting to do. I do know however, that they will not have the EGR connection on them.
i am not fully sure on the way i am giong to set the exhaust up yet, but i am sure i can figure it out. probably going to run the drivers side in a little bit towadrs the driveshaft then about a foot before the diff i will x-pipe it then go over the axle into the muffler. but with the cam situation i am not looking for a ton of performance, just a bit more and still get fair gas milage sinc i dont get that good of gas mileage now
need a cold are kit for 3.1 v6 or 2.8 i have it 92 Camaro RS green/gold Heritage Edition suprechared with nx Custom Cold Air Intake (2.8 - 3.1) Why pay $200 for a professional intake from SLP (which was designed for V8's) when you can easily make your own for about $60? Not only is it cheaper, but this way you will have a better flowing K & N air filter rather than a generic one from SLP. It is easy to make it yourself, and this installation guide will show you exactly what parts you will need, price estimates, and how it is done. This custom cold air intake will get you between 7- 10 horsepower. __________ Parts needed:
3" PVC Pipes (~ $12 for all 4 pipes) -90° elbow -45° elbow -straight pipe (exactly 9 inches long) -adapter (one side with thread inside) K & N Air Filter (3" cone shaped) (~ $50) -Part # RE-0810
You can find the PVC pipes at your favorite hardware store such as Lowe's or Home Depot. The K & N Filter will have to be a special order from your local auto parts store such as Auto Zone or Pep Boy's. Most parts stores will not have the item in stock since this specific filter is meant for custom applications. It can also be found on the internet from places like Summit Racing, part # KNN-RE-0810.
Here is what your engine will look like after this modification.
First, disconnect your current intake setup. You will need to take off the long plastic piece, but keep the rubber hose that connects to your throttle body. Unclip the air sensor so you can take out the air canister. Next, unscrew the remaining piece of the air sensor from the canister. On the rubber intake hose, slice off the excess rubber on the top which would normally hold a clamp in place.
Next, if you car has a computer, you will want to drill a hole for the air sensor, about 5/8" wide, into the 45° elbow. Make sure it is in the correct place. You may need to file the hole if it does not fit to allow a secure fit for the sensor. If you make the hole too big, you can always wrap electrical tape around the thread of the sensor for a tighter fit.
Now you can assemble part of your intake. Insert the adapter into the 45° elbow. Make sure you forcefully connect them, allowing a tight, secure fit. Take the K & N filter and insert the rubber opening into the threaded side of the adapter. Push the filter all the way in so it will not fall off.
It is now time to cut the straight tube to the correct size. My tube measured exactly 9 inches. I recommend you test it to make sure that is the right size for you. Place the 90° elbow on the end of the rubber intake tube and place the end with the filter in the correct place in the engine compartment. Measure the length for the straight tube.
Once you have the tube cut, you can assemble the entire cold air setup. Then place it in the engine and attach the end to the intake hose. Wrap some electrical tape at the place where the 90° elbow and rubber hose meet for added security. I could feel a very noticeable difference especially at high speeds. Now go for a drive and listen to that intake scream.
Will this work on a 91 3.1 Pontiac FireChicken? How long do the PVC Pipes have to be? And finally do you have and pics of the setup?
Did you even look at the message you just quoted? He lists everything you need and how to put it all together. basically It'll look like your stock intake made out of PXC pipes and a K&N.
Don't expect to see that 7-10 hp though, going from a stock intake with a dirty paper filter you MIGHT see a 3hp gain, but it's really negligible.
need a cold are kit for 3.1 v6 or 2.8 i have it
