Ok, i need help. i own a 96 camaro with the 3800 v6
I know the buick 3.8l and the 3800 are way different engines. but when speaking about blocks... is the 3800 series II block just as strong as the 3.8l buick block?
Also, I know to turbocharge my car it will be hard work so i need some advice for a route to go.
Should i
A.) find a older rebuilt Turbo 3.8l Buick Engine/tranny and swap that into my camaro with some PCM tunning
or
B.) Rebuild the 3800 Series II to withstand very high psi
I am not sure which route to go, i know both will cost a good ammount of cash, but im afraid that my 3800 series II block wont be able to handle high psi. But dont know that for sure, i just cant find alot of information on my engine. Id like to rebuild the 3800 seires II engine to be able to handle over 25+ PSI. But im not sure what i can do maybe someone can help me out here with the proper steps and forged internals i should replace.
Thanks
