subject pretty much says it all, anyone got a 3.1? and if so, post up some pics

 

i think only 89-92 cars came with the 3.1 and all the others had the 2.8 correct me if im wrtong i said i think....

 

ok, but it's still a V6, anyone got the 3.1??? oh and how do i get a picture of my car in my signature??? i got the pic scanned, i just cant figure out how to get it in there

 

3.1L Link in the profile to view pics and list of mods.

 

3.1L pics on my webpage on my sig

 

All i was sayin was there was a lot more years for the 2.8 and not as much for the 3.1 just letting ya know why there are more 2.8s

 

oh ok bro, now i see what u were sayin

 

89's still had the 2.8, then 1990-1992 got the 3.1, w/ the digital EGR... (theme of jaws plays in background)

 

three-one

 

Tell me about it. If you ever find one in the Junkyard, grab it....

 

3.1 Here...

 

I've got the 3.1 too..I love it.. Just a stroked 2.8... 15-20 more ft lbs of torque, 5 more horsies.

 

hey nixon, is that the intake manifold that you painted blue? how hard was that, i painted my valve cover back on my honda, wasnt that hard, but anywho. so that is what i have to work with, ok, how big could i get it if i was to bore it out? maybe 3.4L or 3.6L???i want this to be a strip sleeper. dad and i were talking last night and he said he didnt care if i raced as long as i was on a track and it was legal.

 

:hail: :hail: :hail: Penzs' Car

 

adidaas, you would be best to find a 93-96 camaro 3.4l, and strip the intake and a few other things off of it, and put your top on it. The 3.4l comes with 160 ponies, where your at 135-140 right now. Its virtualy a direct swap from what I have heard.

Ked85 could tell you the best.

 

what do you mean strip the intake and all that stuff? put the 3.4L block in my car? sorry bro, dont have the green for that, i'm only 17. oh yeah, why were you guys talking about the EGR like that? is it something special???

 

I have the 3.1 yes they only came in the 90-92 cars. Its the exact same thing as a 2.8 just slightly bigger, i think almost everyhting is interchangelbale except the emissions crap but who needs that anyway

 

yeah here is a picture of mine in the making, while the original is still in the car ticking away with 177,000 miles. the 3.1L in the pic will replace the 3.1L in my car someday.

 

air cleaner.....

 

and the block

 

and them both together, the intake which is ported the upper and lower plenum which are polished and then sealed with air coating paint and the high temp clear coat. the block is blue which is hard to see but it matches my car. the block has been bored .030 polished and dipped.

 

3.1 here...........and still going strong w/ 190K on her. She is due a rebuilt or a swap soon. With a few extra goodies that I picked up for it......And it will be a sleeper 6 . I got a team of guys drawing up the plans as I speak.

 

so u can use a 3.4L block with 3.1L heads???

 

Why?????? When your intake manifold will bolt up to the 3.4 heads. Just yank the 3.4 intake off the 3.4 and swap out your intake w/ the 3.4 and you got yourself a 3.4 Of course dont forget to take out the plug where the distrib. goes. The 3.4 uses the new crap on it......lol.

 

ok, i want to be perfectly clear on this.

if i take the heads and intake manifold off of a stock 3.4L engine, they will bolt up directly to the 3.1L block?

 

No, leave the 3.4l heads. their the best heads ever made for a 60deg eng (2.8,3.1,3.4)

Use 3.4l block/crank/pistons
Use 3.4l heads
Use 3.1l intake
use 3.1l manifolds
use 3.1l distrib (3.4 dont have one)

Rest you would have to talk to ked85 about.

 

why dont i just buy a 3.4L engine then???

 

you basically are, your buying the 3.4 engine, and take the intake off and putting your 3.1 intake on it, and hook it up start and vrooom

 

Just bought my 3.4l engine. :lala: :lala: :lala:

 

Adidas..I'm too lazy to pull the sucker off and buy all new gasket material, etc. I just toweled all around it..newspaper too..and spraypainted it with the high temp engine stuff...it's held up VERY well..hasn't burned off at all. Works great. BTW, to answer your way back question..you can't bore our engines. Simply too thin. If you overbore it, you can get a 3.2..I know someone here's done that. That's all..it's not worth it..we can only bore to repair. Ans as far as stroking, I doubt the motor can be stroked any more than it already is.. Do what everyone else says, invest in a 3.4, and you'll be one haaaaappppy camper. 160 horses, around or a bit over 200 ft lbs. of torque. Now THAT's some grunt...

 

i just bought my 3.1 91 today hehe. im happy. woulda rather had a v8 but for now i will be happy. i bought my car for 700 and i need a hood, bumper cover, headlight support, radiator support, and some paint. it still has a clean title too. oh ya camaro by the way.

kolby

 

I've also got a 91' firebird 3.1 that looks a whole lot like 91FIREBIRDGT's car. I actually almost sold mine the other day, I was thinking of getting a 96' camaro. But when I came out of the hospital and saw her standing there... I just ran up and gave my baby a big ol' hug. I could never part from this car.

one of the stock engine bay...

 

Last one of my CAI. I know it looks like crap, and it also weighs about 20 lbs, and I still have to make a shield to keep out engine bay air but it's the first thing I ever did to my car myself.

 

have blalock, that is a nice looking clean engine.


what is a TB bypass???

 

3.1 here.

 

Adidas3k in the last pic, theres a length of hose that loops over the air tube thing that comes off the throttle body. That bypasses the coolant back to the block and keeps it from entering the throttle body. It's pretty controversial about whether it actually helps or not but it's a fun thing to do when you've got an hour or so free and if you don't live up north where it gets really cold there are no adverse effects. If you wanna try it, do a search and you should find complete instructions and what you need.

i have the 3.1
have u done anything to yours to make it faster then helped out alot

 

hmm i like the setup david b has, im working on getting a dual fan setup for my car that will push about 450cfm into the engine, but as for now mods r in the sig cept for the newest being a Hi-Flo Cat

 

i picked up all the parts for my tb bypass from Pepboys all together it was like 5-7$$ then about 45 min of my time

1.Bypass Plugs (came in a pack of 2)
2. 1 foot heat resistance hose (cut hose to right length)

cuz me i ran the the hose on the wrong plugs the first time took it for a spin when i was done and watched the heat temp just rise, so i switched them and it took a tenth of a second off my 1/8 mile time

 

Krazy, I've been looking for a hi-flow cat to replace my stock one that's definitly clogged a bit. How much, where, all that did you get yours? The PVC pipe I used is like, a quarter inch thick at least, I gotta find some thin walled stuff to replace it with. btw, the tubing is taped to the ube coming off the TB and taped again at the conical. Duct tape and black electrical tape have saved me more hassle than I'll ever know.
David

 

krazy...have you found the dual fan setup sold somewhere or are you making it/having it made? Let me know if ya finish..that sounds like a pretty good idea...

3.1L here bro!

 

WWasem,

you have the exact same car i do man. and you did exactly what i want to do to mine. Where did you find those seats! ive been scouring junkyards for a while lookin for them. definitly looks good man. im in college about 10 minutes from maple grove if you in the aera drop me a line sometime.

 

Thanks a lot man! As for the seats I was searching left and right for them as well. A lot of the ones I did find were dark gray but I wanted black leather. I kept looking around locally and on e-bay and where-ever I could and i ended up finding the whole set on E-bay. I'll keep my eyes open for you dude. Where do you go to college at? I attend Lehigh Carbon Community College which is towards Northampton and what not, but I live in Bethlehem.
