Since the hybrid is almost finished, I'm thinking of building a 3.1/3400 hybrid and putting two turbos on it to see what happens.

My idea is while the 3.4/3500 is getting tuned/tested I can be working on the 3.1/3400 and have it with the turbos ready to bolt into the car. This way when the 3.4/3500 is pulled out to change the pistons for boost, the 3.1 can be dropped right in and be running in a couple of days.

This would be an almost free project since I already have a set of 3100 pistons, several sets of 3400 heads and manifolds and one of the turbos.

All the 3.1/3400 turbo parts can be transferred to the 3.4/3500 when 3400 pistons are installed.

The only parts I will need to buy to make this work (outise of the parts I already need for the 3.4/3500 anyways) is another turbo, 38mm WG, 3400 head gaskets, and materials to build N/A headers that can work on any 3x00 heads.

What do you think? Yes or no?

The 3.4 is getting boosted anyways, but this will give me a chance to develop and test a DIS kit for 3.1/2.8 peeps to make a hybrid swap easier.

The more options for V6 owners, the better! You may save one more V8 conversion from happening!

I vote yes!

one request my V6 brother can you do a complete step by step for the turbo install like dave did? Im still debating over LS1/LT1 but your insane v6 work makes me look into a possible hybrid later

I did make a detailed thread in the power adder section for the first turbo kit I made (click here), then in the thread where I sold my kit and modified it for GrimmCS (click here).

You know I'll be showing pics you just have to read through all the replies to see the results.

90% yes so far. I think the people have spoken.

Im kinda torn on this one. On one hand it would be a cool project to see...on the other hand it would take time/money away from your original project.

Not really. The 3.1 won't be started until the 3.4 is in the car. Also the 3.1 will be a good mock-up motor for the turbo stuff since it will work on both engines.

Personally, i like superchargers. There a whole lot simpler.

I'll call you god if you can make one work. Anyway . Why couldn't you use the old turbo kit?
