Ask someone who works for an aftermarket automotive product company anything thread?
I'm bored. Mostly turbo related parts.

Where are you located? Ever work on a 2004 monte carlo?
>>15359563
I want to street tune a N/A 3.0R legacy 2005, and make maybe 300-400 whp. I've thought about boosting it, raptor au makes supercharger kits for it but I want something with more low end power.
I understand this wouldn't be cheap, but would it be ridiculously expensive? And would I have to get the engine rebuilt with forged/billet components?
>>15359584
Thankfully I have never worked with a 04 monte carlo lol
>>15359593
Don't do much with superchargers here.
you could get a 50 trim turbo for around 700-1100 depending on options and easily put down 300-400. Can't speak for the 3.0 legacy's strength, but most non shit engines can make 300 without being fully built.
>>15359672
The 3.0 H6 runs at 10-1 compression ratio I believe, so I'd have to keep the boost low or change the compression down a little. Sound right?

>>15359702
seriously, watch the mighty car mods episodes on super gramps. same principle applies.
>>15359563
shouldnt the turbo be covered in some heat shield or something?
>>15359776
That grill shell around it is the newest tech in heat shielding anon.
>>15359563
So, serious question. Why do this with a fwd?
>>15359722
Common term for the ratio of a compressor wheel and turbine wheel. Usually a 54mm inducer on the compressor and 57mm inducer on the turbine.
>>15359702
10:1 aint bad i'd try to keep the octane high and you'd be fine.
>>15359776
Theres a heat blanket on the turbine housing

Nothing wrong with drag racing. I just didn't realize that it was purpose built for it. I wonder how the transmission is doing...

>>15359961
I ride a 2001 r6 that I payed 2500 for. I'd still smash most built up cars. It's just not the point, it's a different feel and different ride. Love both. And now I am going to go replace the water pump in my shitbox grand dix.

That's the broadest price range fucking ever for a bike. Like fuck man, if you're gonna use symbols, at least understand what they mean.
