92 turbo V-6 Camaro?

I recently ran my RPO codes on this website and it came back with that I have the B4C, 1Le,and a turbo V-6. To my knowledge the camaro never came with a turbo V-6. The only cars that I do know that came with that motor was the Grand National, and very few firebirds. If anybody knows anything let me know.
My car is a 92 z-28 ex-Highway Patrol car.and has a 5sp.

Grand Nationals got the Turbo V-6 as did 1989 Aniversary Turbo Trans-AMs. Only 1555 of them and 3 pilot cars had that engine.

B4C's were either 305's or 350's. Now if you have a 5 speed then it should be a 305 with the engine oil cooler and a better exhaust and you also wouldn't have the peanut cam.

If such a car were genuine it would definatley be a first. Show us pics of whats under the hood and the RPO codes sheet. That should clear things up nicely.

You sure you got those codes right? Camaro never got the turbo 3.8 motor, plus a B4C camaro would be a V8. And as far as I know the 1LE camaros had V8s as well. Easiest way to tell? Pop your hood. Got 6 or 8 cylinders?

Probably a V6. Not a Turbo 3.8. 6K is outrageous for a 3rd gen V6 Fbody.

Could be a V6 with a "Turbo 350" Transmission...

Got a local dealer price for an '89 Base Firebird 2.8 Auto, 56,000 miles, and the dealer painted it (crappy job). They are asking



$7995

Later, Garrett
