  • HOW WELL DOES A CHEAP, EBAY GT45 TURBO WORK ON A JUNKYARD V6? HOW CAN I MAKE 600 HP WITH A 3800 V6? HOW MUCH BOOST DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE 600 HP? HOW WELL DOES E85 WORK UNDER BOOST? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WHERE I FINALLY REMOVED THE M90 SUPERCHARGER FROM THE MODIFIED L67 3800 V6 AND REPLACED IT WITH A CHEAP, SINGLE GT45 TURBO? HOW WELL DID IT WORK? CHECK OUT THE RESULTS, AS I RAN A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT BOOST LEVELS FROM THE INTERCOOLED TURBO SYSTEM ON THE MODIFIED 3800. WE RAN UP NEAR 1 BAR (14.55 PSI TO BE EXACT), ALL WITHOUT CHECKING RING GAP! HOW MUCH POWER DID THE LITTLE V6 MAKE?

    Awesome gains! The 3800 is just getting started at 14-15psi. You may lose a head gasket with more power but with some head studs you can run them 24-28psi and really make some steam 🤟

      Look into the Mp extreme m90 case. It gets rid of the restrictive stock inlet found on gen 3 and 5 blowers while also boasting a huge outlet that makes these things move some air. These aftermarket cases will accept the traditional m90 snouts and rotor packs so its easy to adapt a used blower especially in a remote mounted blower/intercooler setup.

      And, ftr: GM originally intended the 4th-gen F-bod to be FWD, like the Dodge Daytona & Plymouth Laser.... since those were selling so well, and everyone was following Mopar's suit, being as successful as it was. When problems packaging the 3.8L V-6/FWD power-train turned-up during development, and the letter writing campaign to Ford from Mustang fans halted production of a FWD Mustang, GM scrambled to repackage the 4th-gen as a RWD car with V-8 option.

    If I had my druthers, I'd get a twin screw rather than that Roots, and feed it w/ that GT45, along w/ ring gap, studs, etc....I'm sure that turbo can push more air than that engine can handle, so a twin screw would help squeeze it in....turbo would light faster cuz a twin screw effectively increases engine displacement so the turbo would like that

    It's sad to me that so many GNs end up with an LS instead of a 3800 ii or iii. The 3800 is the advancement of the GN 3.8 engine family and brings a lot of improvements... cross bolted mains, somewhat better oiling, slightly better heads, roller cam. Of course GM could have helped out by putting a decent bellhousing pattern on it instead of the stupid 60 degree v6 pattern.

I Bought Them Them Intense Racing And They Had .020" Ring Gap For Top Ring. At The Time I Thought Nothing Of It. Doing Research It Looks Like The Ring Gap Should Be Around .026" For Mild Boost 15-30PSI. I Wanna Make 500-600WHP. I Was Making 480WHP Around 16PSI Of Boost On Stock Ring Gap But That Was On 210,000 Mile Rings/Cylinder Bores. Should I Take It Apart And Gap Them To .026"? I Find It Really Dumb For Intense Racing To Be Listing A .020" Ring Gap On A Set Of Forged Pistons Which I Think Would Be Used For No Less Then Mild Boost lol.

    I would love to see what a more modern intercooled 1.9L TVS supercharger would do on the 3800 V6. Also its best to have the supercharger blow into the turbo inlet in a compound setup. The blower creates way too much restriction when the turbo is blowing into it and you loose the multiplication factor of feeding a turbo a boosted charge. Maybe do a test and post the results.

The stock head bolts are very strong, and torqued really high.

    Would running a m90 through a front mount air to air and then through a throttle body work? I was thinking of mounting it on its side with a "hat" bolted on that's blowing to 3"(or would 3.5" be necessary?) intercooler piping, front mount and back up to the stock throttle body? I can't imagine it would be a very responsive engine if the throttle body is all the way on the other end of all that piping and supercharger.

    I've argued for years that you can double the HP without doubling the Atmospheric pressure, let me explain my reasoning.
    At WOT there is still some degree of vacuum in the intake manifold, it varies depending on the throttle body and intake tract, but it's there, anywhere from 0.5 hg to 2.0 or there about, the difference from say 1.5 hg to 0 or 0.5 PSI is a level of "boost" not particularly impressive but the engine does react to this, in effect that's like 2 PSI of boost, now if we continue to 10 PSI, I would expect the results to be similar to 12 PSI Boost. Any thoughts on my reasoning?

      I would assume you're right that 14.7 psi in the manifold = 15-16 psi before the throttle body. This also has to do with volumetric efficiency at peak power. Some engines won't make double HP at 1 atm boost. That's why this combo was so good.

    • @T..C..M
      @T..C..M 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Think of the BMW 1.5 F1 engine in the 80s, it was making 1300-1500hp on 80psi, that's 5.44 atmospheres, 1500÷5.44 = 275hp, which we can all agree is an unattainable HP output for a NA 1.5l engine, I would guess max theoretical power for a 1.5 NA would be in the 180-200hp range based on the numbers attained by high-end streetbike engines.
      Edit: I'm wrong, the 1441cc Kawasaki ZX14 made a claimed 207hp @13,200 rpm with only 12-1 compression on premium fuel. So on F-1 fuel with higher rpm and compression 275hp seems attainable.

    My theory is that the headers will start to glow much quicker because there is a level of back pressure thats extremely hot as we all know so there for its pretty much telling us that the header tube size is too small and could do with larger tubing and in return flowing more exhaust spooling up that larger turbo much more faster and getting rid of it quicker aswell hopefully releaving some of that back pressure which will help it spool back up when off boost at a cruising speed and keep the heat out but we should always pay attention to what our motors are saying 🤠 thats my theory guys so please don't come kick my door in and skin me and my family alive if I'm wrong...its what my brain come up with while watching the video so instead of the hate comments or being a dickhead how about you just educate me and teach me why im wrong or if im close explain that too 💪🏽🇦🇺
