Post pics and info about your V6's. I'll start with mine.

It's the 3.1L, ~153,000mi, Runs PERFECT (besides being slow). Only mods are a cold air intake(not really cold air)and TB bypass mod. Done some work such as valve cover gaskets, intake gaskets, and new oil pan.



Also, please check out my new cardomain page and give me a good rating, let me know what you think...

<--- engine bay shot. can't figure out how to make it a picture?

 

1992 RS with the 3.1L, 75,000 miles on the clock. I added the snorkle intake a few months ago, then tuned it up with some Accel wires, cap & rotor and Kool Blue air filters (along with the other normal tune up bits, of course). Then I just cleaned everything up real well.

 

91 3.1l

I'm definatly not gonna be able to remember all the details:


High Flow Dynosomething cat
Flowmaster muffler
MSD Coil
CAI
K&N filter
Plugged up EGR
Hollowed out A.I.R
Vette Servo
ASP Underdrive crank pully

Think that's it....

January I'm buying a 3.4l with 1300k miles, cams, lifters, valves and some other stuff included.... Also looking at getting a 3.3l v6 intake if it'll fit easy enough.

 

'87, 2.8 reman, 12000 miles on it

180 degree thermostat with 200/180 fan switch
K&N air filters
Accel 8mm wires

I think that's all, other than cleaning parts that were reused from the old engine.

...anyway that's it. Looking into a 3.4 someday though

 

In that case, this is what I've done just to the engine...

HOPEFULLY I'll have a whole new custom exhaust after Christmas!!

Check out my signature for pics.

Many mods to come next summer.

 

ahahahaha.. mine used to be a V5 too. The non-fouler plug worked great with mine so far. I put it in like a year ago and it hasn't fouled the plug again (used to do it every couple weeks at least just before I tried the non-fouler).

3.4 swap
T5
who knows how many miles... I've put like 80k on the car since I've had it.
Runs like ****. Valvetrain noise, burns oil worse than an LS1, etc.
Slow
I'm going to blow it up within the month Nitrous... no oil.. somehow.. it will blow up -and I will enjoy it.
3.8/T5 swap attempt soon enough.. hopefully it goes fairly smooth.

 

SInce I've had way too many6's to post up, read up on the dead 2.8 to 3.4 to 3800 HERE


yeah, the 305 is in now, but the 3800 had more power.

 

Actually yeah, that night I went and bought the non-fouler and a new plug and it seems to be doing better, all things considered. Timing map is still off, but without a knock sensor and datalogging capability, not much I can do about that *shrug* ah well.

 

Cold air intake and new sensor
new tensioner
crank underdrive pulley
new plugs and wires
sanded and polished intake

thats about it

 

Admant, clean car, looks very nice!

Life's been busy and I haven't had a chance to post lately, or even read the forum for that matter. Even though I now own a 4th gen v8, I'm hoping to come back to see how some of the ideas are progressing for the v6's. Keep up the good work guys.

A car just recently taken off the road...

85 2.8l

K&N Air filter
Edelbrock tie rod sleeves
Edelbrock panhard bar
TDS wonderbar
KYB shocks and struts
Suspension Techniques springs
Nitrous



And I grenaded the transmission so all of that does nothing anymore. Engine is complete and still runs and entire suspension is still there, otherwise it's a parts car. Also have an 87 2.8l with an auto trans that's no longer pushing the car forward, engine ran last time it was started. Make an offer for the pair.

Here's the Franken60 (Version 1.0)



I started with a 1987 2.8 Block, put in a 3.1L crank, Federal Mogul FWD 3.1L pistons, used the 1987 2.8L rods. For the Valve train, I used a GMPP cam, that is equivlant to the Crane 260-2, stock 3.1 rockers, and stock 3100 Valves and springs.
The heads and intake were from a 1995 Buick Skylark. I had the UIM modified with a custom EGR mount to use the 2.8L FWD vacuum EGR. The heads and intake were stock port, with some mild port matching.
The headers were custom built by me, they are ok, but want to build some new headers once I get some time.
Well the custom headers dump into a T3 turbo pirated from a 1986 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe.
Engine managment was provided by 7730 ECM, that connects to the engine via a modified harness pirated from a 1988 Cavalier Z24. The PROM was mildly tuned for the forced induction, mostly a stock TGP program on a different PROM. The crank trigger was custom made by my Grandfather that is a machinist.
At the time of the above pic I was also using a Mitsubishi Starion front mount intercooler and Eagle Talon (Mitsu Eclipse) 1st gen BOV.
There was a bunch of small custom parts made for this.
Currently the top end has been removed and will be putting a 3400 top end that has larger ports and will also be using a larger turbo or twins.

Here are some more pics:
