Re: HELLPP MY V6!

I'm guessing you would want a turbo and not NOS. I'm betting your wanting more power on the street. There are a few people that have done turbos on the V6's and there pretty Cool.
Check out:
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/v6/3...ing-turbo.html and the other Sticky Threads at the top of the V6 Forum for more power adding parts.

Note that NOS is illegal to use on the streets and in some states/cities illegal to be hook up or in a car with a system on the streets.

Last but not less, before doing anything you need to make sure your engine is in good shape and can handle NOS or a turbo. It may need to be rebuilt depending on the millage and the abuse.

Re: HELLPP MY V6!

If you want cheap, go nitrous. 100 more hp for $500 is hard to beat.

Reaper is right. Minimum of a good tune up first!

But if you have money and time turbo is the way to go.
Just seems safer and more sensible..

Re: HELLPP MY V6!

Neither one is safe and reliable without money and proper application.

Nothing personal, but you don't seem to know the proper application of the caps button, so I'm a little worried about you having 100 extra HP.

If you want to keep the stock motor, then you are stuck with it as it is. If you don't mind upgrading internals, then either one is fine, just know how to use it and learn what's what BEFORE you go looking at "cheap" upgrades...they don't exist. It'll cost you either a bunch of money OR a bunch of time...speed doesn't come cheap.

Re: HELLPP MY V6!

^^Ya there is/was...emphasis on was. Unless properly set up 100 nitrous will hurt the motor in the long run. Then we get back into speed isnt cheap deal. Its not like you can just throw a bottle at your car and expect everything to be so easy and dandy. If this was true EVERYONE would have nitrous on there car.
