turbo v6

[Clarky_man]

im planning on turbo'in my v6 nova does anyone have any idea of any problems i might run into ie will the engine take the stress of a turbo
ive been told that theres a company (powercrazy automotive) that turbo them but i cant find them

[General Baxter]

the problem is the C25xe runs very hot, adding a turbo, (even if you can get one to fit) would make it run even hotter, you would need LOADS of cooling lol

[Philsutton]

just bang on some nitrous, will be easy an cheaper to do.

I can't answer any of your questions though. I hope the number is correct :)

[Clarky_man]

do you know if they have a website?
im planning nitrous as well im determined to fit the turbo im looking for 300-350= bhp it doesnt get used often anyway

you would be lucky lol

saab do a lowblow version of a c25xe, its about 200bhp i remember, thats got modded heads for better water flow and a better oil cooler,
good thing is, same mounts as the GM one,

[Clarky_man]

im going to go for a 3 litre bottom end heads cams etc its about 190bhp+ now on 2.5 block

[Clarky_man]

gonna have c20let pistons to drop compression too

[Clarky_man]

would under piston oil sprays wrk to cool pistons

[Stuart]

erm whats the bore of the 3.0 bottom end, and whats the bore of a LET ?

Of course oil squirters would be wise.... Just do the same/similar things that a decent LET build would have just make it for 6 rather than 4.

Also I wouldnt touch a company called "powercrazy" lol thats just asking for either a very very inaccurate dyno and or a bunch of proper cowboys

[Philsutton]

also how could you not find powercrazy in google, its first one to come up lmfao

[Clarky_man]

And doesn't the Saab come with steel rods amd crank making it pretty damn tough

[Clarky_man]

is it the same as the vaux engine will it just be a straight swp for what i've already got?
ill be rebuilding the bottom end so it'll prob get steel rods and forged pistons anyway
anyone have any idea on how much boost i'll be able to run safely i was going to try for 12-14 psi maybe

[Philsutton]

depends what the compression ratio is really

That the right number for power crazy i got his business card in front of me, he a sik head, he built my mates 3ltr v6 corsa. His names is paul ring him he will give yousome good ideas/help. :thumb:

[Clarky_man]

what turbo could i use with saab manifold?

[Mazz]

he a sik head

WTF does that mean?

Anyways, there's was a blue mk3 Astra van at Billing with a V6 turbo running 300+ bhp iirc, also i think it will be in TV in a few months aswell..

lookts like a "remote" turbo too, more than likely just to clear things and reduce heat buildup

[Jack]

Would a small supercharger squeeze into the Nova bay with a V6 in there? Possibly with a few mods on the bonnet to give it more room...

and lol @ "sik head".. not sure I'd want anyone who had a sick head touching my car lol

Wasn't a white Corsa by any chance was it??

Rotex superchargers are very small IIRC, was a corsa in TV a while back with a 2.2 supercharged lump

[Adam]

Sure i heard Chip say he had a mate with a turbo'd v6, that ran very well, even on std management iirc.

[Will F]

V6 turbo in a nova!lol

What is the point?

As said they get really hot in bog standard vectras etc, in a Nova bay, woth a turbo it will last minutes.
