You'd want this in my opinion, its what is on mine and works very very well. Its a e-bay turbo but is a good solid turbo.

I got this one for $118 awhile back but they seemed to raise the price up?? Contact project89 on here as he knows his stuff on the turbo V6's

Sorry jessie im not trying to hi-jack your thread.

You guys could go this fast easily with a turbo if you do it right.

You need a few items, and some down time on your car. It took me a month since I could only work on it a hour or 2 a day. And from what im told a month or so to get her up and running is pretty dammm fast!

You need a:

Intercooler
Turbo
Blow off valve
Wastegate
New map sensor
the chip burning stuff
Wideband o2 sensor
Oil line stuff
Some couplers for the piping
Piping
Larger injectors
(mabey a fuel pump as I needed one very fast)
And patients and creativity
And im sure im missing a part or 2 but its a rough parts list

It cost me about 900 bucks for all of what I have.

Its not cheep but to take a 140hp car and make it double the Hp with time is a huge achievment and im my mind was the best thing I have ever, or ever could have done to my car.

Re: 91 Camaro 3.1 v6 NEED HELP

118 bucks

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HONDA-PRELUD...item4ced1ea817

or 178$ wityh an internal wastegate
http://www.ebay.com/itm/T3-T4-2-5-V-...item3a6bd92eeb

259$ for the ultimate v6 turbo gt3582
i dont recomend this for mostly stock engines though, this turbo requires ported heads large cam and a bottom end u can spin to 7500+ rpms

If your serious about getting a cam... deltacams is the place to get one. The 260 or 272 grind. Its was 118 bucks shipped to my house with lifters.
