Since i havn't seen anything on here about turbos, does anyone know what would happen if you put a universal STS Turbo on the G6? I think it could use a little more power? I would love to put a turbo on both of our G6 GT's.

your tranny wont hold for long, but if you're lucky you have the... i think it's 05/06 which shares the 4t65e that can be upgraded to or replaced with the HD or HD components. the STS will work, as long as you're willing to spend the money and time to do it. just dont forget that you WILL need a tune. and possibly some more powerful injectors (dont know if they're available for the 3.5 but my 3.9 [which may be the same as the 3.5 vvt in the 08/07s] can be replaced with some big 8 liter truck injectors) i'm currently in the planning of figuring a mid mount (not engine bay or rear mounted, but in the middle) turbo setup for the g6. if it works i'll post plenty of pictures and answer some questions


oh, and at around 5-7 pounds sea level with some proper tuning you should hit around 300 whp

omg i want that... do it and tell me how lol

300 horses sounds like it would really fun, thanks for the info

lol, i'll let you know how it goes... still working on it

but as far as putting power into a 3.5, a 50 wet shot of nos would be the cheapest, most effective (and safest as you dont run it constantly) to make it faster

how much would it cost to put a 50 shot of nitrous on my g6..

depends on the quality of product your looking at... absolutely cheapest i could see it being done at would be about 400 bucks... and for the nice kits (zex, no xpress etc...) you're looking at like 700 i believe. do make sure you get a quick tune on it though, you will want to retard your timing by a couple of degrees... that could cost you a hundred bucks or so at a tuning shop. but i'm sure if you tell them all you do is need 3 degrees retard on all your timing and give them a 20 they would do it... (you need HPTuners to tune our ECUs)

on a turbo kit could you use the stock exhaust manifold? hit me back got turbo kit in hands!!!!!

o yea and its for a GTP 3.9

Don't think you know what you're getting yourself into. You run out of room quickly in the engine bay. The only turbo I know is the one that speedmafia is trying to retrofit which is taking a whole lot of extra work.

not worth it. just get the nos setup, a tune, exhaust, intake and frequent fluid checks/changes.

my list of mods are a nos setup, tune, exhaust and crab intake. i plan to do it all at once.

Well, did some lurking on eBay, and found these to "gems." I am wondering if any of you long time 6ers have any knowledge if these are legit and won't blow your motor/tranny to peices, or if they are for rich kids that don't know anything mechanical.

Lurk more on here and you'll find out that it's not legit.

All you need to do is reprogram the ECU, rebuild your engine, rebuild your tranny, and some strong ass axles.

Total cost est: $10,000+ installation of turbo.

Rebuilding your motor/tranny is possible, but REQUIRED if you want your car to last after a drive. Reprogramming your ECU is impossible at this time which is also a REQUIREMENT to have any blower on the G6. Once you find out how to rewrite the ECU let us know. As far as axles, your SOL. The G6 is not a blower machine. I have direct expeirence trying to get it S/C. Its not worth the money. Go buy a S/C'd G8.

Why do you guy keep saying the reprogramming the ecu is impossible???? Any dyno tuner will be able to do this..... it will cost 350-700$ depending on the tuner and his skills.
and 10k for the build is a bit much

STS universal kit is 1700-3000k$
Yo make your trans damn near bullet proof 2000-2900k$

Axles 400-500$

and depending on what you want to do the engine 500-6000k$ (srsly) (at least forged rods and diamond coted pistons and a cam) The cam will be the most it will have to be custom ground(3500's only)



Honestly i would try to swap the 325 small block from the 06+ impala ss, Monte carlo ss, Granp Prix GTP? or is it GXP

Correct me if I'm wrong; but that turbo setup is basically a cheap copy of a Garrett T3/T4 turbo hybrid and, even though eBay turbos aren't anything close to the real thing, it will blow your motor/tranny unless you have (Directly quoted from the auction page itself) "supporting mods and a built motor".

In other words, you already would need to have your engine rebuilt with the right compression and a stronger tranny AND the room under the hood somewhere to install the turbo setup.

Is it me, or does that FMIC look awfully small? :o

Check out this thread and see if its worth it. Until you can find a "tuner" that can tune our ECU PROPERLY, let us know!

I got a speed shop that tuned my car (08 impala 3.5) 19hp/16tq power bump(87 octane) he said he could do more if i wanted to run 93 octane exclusively.

Like i said ANY REAL DYNO TUNER WILL BE ABLE TO TUNE YOUR CAR, I paid 450(cause i know the guy), and thats real wheel numbers.

Go here find your local shop and take your car in, and ASK they well be able to do if you have either a stock car or a twin turbo, No STOP WHINEING AND DO IT.

Now now there! No need to get fancy with me!

So you get your tune done...now you need $14,550 more to put the turbo on and rebuild the hell out of your engine/tranny.

Why would you need 14k more? BTW(you have to do your ad on's first).
For 7-10k you can have one hell of g6, I don't know where you keep getting 14,000 from?

Do you really want to know where? You seem very intersted in it.

Right here:

(Of course people like you could find many ways to save money on the upgrades)

You wanted to know where i was getting that ESTIMATE, here it is :rolleyes:

Dear Moderators,

I know you have dealt with these turbo threads before and none of them turn out to be pretty. IMO, case should be closed before any rages start.

TOOTLES! As always, Have a nice day!

Unless you guys start flaming each other I see no problem keeping it open.

The board is to discuss our opinions freely, but not to flame. So unless it starts to get messy we'll keep it open.

Just keep it civil gentlemen (and ladies if there are some);)

If you go balzz out..... Some one has never modded a car. when it comes down to it i would rather buy a gto, but it can be done for under 8k read my firs post and do the math, you can get the hd bulletproofed for 3k throw another 2500 for the turbo kit and a few engine parts axles and your all good

Maybe some crazy money drenched guy will end up turboing his G6 and we will all want a turbo.

Turboing a FWD car just doesn't make any sense. So the person would have to be rich...and stupid.

Hell yeah it would! But in terms of money, i would just get a cool paint job and some sick efn wheels.

This is a nice idea, but if I wanted that I'd just buy a G8.

What you oughtta do, by my reckoning, is take your $10,000, buy yourself a 2000 audi a6 with a 2.7 bi turbo v6. there's your little sleeper. go upgrade the turbos on that or whatever you like. you can buy the car for less than a g6 goes for anyways. (had i known at the time, I'd be on audi forums, not pontiac :( )

Hmm Audi vs. Pontiac in reliability...... Audi def. loses
