Let Pistons In A V6

[dan_cf40]

Is It True If You Fit Let Pistons And Rods In A V6 It Takes It Up To A 3ltr And Low Compression?

[Adam]

No it doesn't change the CC, as the pistons/bore are the same size.
But yeah, it will lower compression.

[dan_cf40]

So do they fit the 2.3 or the 3ltr? and do you need the pistons and the rods or just the pistons?

[mowgli]

well the 4cyl 2.0 has the same piston size as the 6 cyl 3.0

Ford?

If you're after building a turbo V6 you'll need the 3.0 block from an omega, someone was trying it on mig, don't think it's been finished though.

Plenty of turbo'd GM V6's built though.

I can think of 2 in Novas.

Meant 2.5 thats whats in my nova at the minute, got a 3 ltr out of an omega to go in though just cant decide whether to turbo it or supercharge it got few turbos lying around and a charger from a corrado.

[craig green]

Corrado charger is crap for sarters. Superchargeing needs more room to install IMO. Something a Nova is lacking esp considering you barely have room for an XE alternator belt, let alone a dirty great charger belt.

mr beardy with the rather famous corsa's spent years and lots of money trying to make a reliable turbo v6 and concluded that due to the ****e design of the v6 anything over 7psi wasnt possible, therefore supercharging is the way forward for any real power
