SIDI V6 and turbo

[bonfield]

Hi, I am interested in buying a 2010 SV6 or thunder, i was wondering what turbo i can put in it eg turbo, intercooler etc that would work well with this

sorry i tried searching for this but couldnt find anything that answered me

thanks in advance

[bonfield]

anyone have any info on this?

[ToMMMaY]

Whatever turbo your heart desires tho your have to going to get custom manifolds etc

[nathanVY]

I don't think you can tune that sidi yet?

[bonfield]

what turbo would you recommend? ani idea on when you will be able to tune it?

[Dr HaxZaw]

from what i've heard there isnt much going in the way of turbo SIDI's... pretty sure you going into unchartered waters as far as turboing goes cause i havent seen a VE with a turbo anywhere

[drift-it]

making manifolds should be easy as the v6 manifolds are incorporated in the head i think! so it'll just be a single pipe with a turbo flange on it!

I think that's only with the 3.0 litre sidis, the 3.6 litre's have standard manifolds I believe .

o ok... i knew one of them did.

[nathanVY]

There's threads about it on here go have a search

[MACE]

We can tune the SIDI's such that they're good enough for boost, if that helps

[bonfield]

yeah i had a look around and found some similar threads, sorry for making a new one =]

what do you guys think of this?

yeah i read that you can tune them, i think castle hill performance can tune them

many people here modded ve utes?

thankyou all for the replies

That would be awesome - IF you had an LSx series motor (that's a V8 kit)

[bonfield]

I thought so, anything like this for v6's? or would i have to make my own? (I hope not, i dont have much of an idea with this kind of stuff)

[Ross D.]

pretty sure pro flow are making a turbo kit for the ve's

[one_and_only2004]

What you should check is if the SIDI alloytecs have the exhaust ports spaced the same as the non-SIDI alloytecs - that way you might be able to find a kit for older VE's.

[bonfield]

i read proflow were making a kit, nothing i could find for the v6 though

all i know is that it has convergent exhaust ports, but no idea if the spacings are the same as earlier models, i really have no clue as to where to find that info

[one_and_only2004]

Neither do I. I think you'll find the convergent exhaust ports are on the 3L SIDI not the 3.6.

[bonfield]

all i could find out was that its a GM LLT nothing at all on dimensions, all i canthink of is that someone here knows alot about exhausts

[NickVR]

That is an SIDI engine. I believe that is the 3ltr and the 3.6ltr has normal design exhaust manifolds not ones cast into the head. Still trying to find a pic of one though to confirm.

[bonfield]

Thanks for the pic, any conformation on which motor it is 3 or 3.6L?

Also I have read alot of threads saying it's a waste of time doing it etc and it will hurt resale, I'm curious as to how forced induction will affect resale? Other than wear and tear?

[WogBoyz]

SIDI 3L is in the pic above, 3.6 SIDI have headers just like the 195kw alloytec

Some might call it a waste of time, but I think a turbo'd 6 is where it's at honestly. It'll hurt your resale purely because it's not standard any more.
Bare in mind it's going to be an expensive trip for you, you're going into unchartered territory with the SIDI.

v What he said, lol.

There's turbo whippersnipperz turbo lawnmowers u can turbo that just take it to the right person mate and don't think it will be cheap resale is bs take the kit off resell it and sell the car stock again
