twin turbo 202?

Its a typical L67 vs V8s. I've seen this just about every god damn car forum and always ends up like this.

For me, i would go V8, not BS to put that donk is, unless is an LSx type motor.

 

Lol scroll up you said you can buy a standard vt for the same price now what makes you think you have xray vision to tell that v8 has not got it's ass flogged before you install it??

 

You can't. Although were talking stock for stock. That was until you realised that there was noway you could continue to argue that a v6 could do the same as an 8 and started talking about omgracecars.

Even so. Modified cars never hold their value very well. So if we were to take a stock v8 and a stock super 6, the 8 would make more power for less, as I clearly demonstrated earlier, so it is just academic that you could go faster for less in a V8


/Thread

 

Honestly? i would be upset if a stock super 6 was faster then a ls1 LOL

if we are going to go on stock performance v6s vs v8s
Why dont we just bring a f6 typhoon into the conversation

 

Because modifying that motor and driveline to fit as per the OPs request would be even more expensive and retarded than a Holden FI6

 

it has been done

 

such a Awsome conversion also
With a good computer you can do anything

 

LOL, you are just painful... nevermind


OP i say DO IT! turbo that 6. but 1. dont think you can do it cheaply 2. dont think itll beat all v8's.

im done

 

Could you post some pics of a turbo 202 preferably in an early holden as I ve all ready wasted thousands on my ek , it wont really worry me to waste a bit more if it will give the ek a bit of go. Recently had a drive of a mates turbo patrol if I could get a turbo 202 to put the power on like the patrol does (the patrol would leave my 308 tunna for dust) thats the sorta sunday car Im wanting . I know my mate spent about 20 grand on his set up .
So id guess it would cost me about the same not that i want to spend that much.
How much does it cost to turbo a 202?

 

Yes. I know it has been done. I never said it couldnt be done.

Like Ari said. You're painful.

 

if you can do all the welding yourself and rely on cheap or second hand parts you could easily twin turbo one for under 1000 bucks.i think the fastest turbo 202 is only doing 9's on the 1/4 at the moment LOL

 

If you really want something totally different..

Lets go back to the era of the 202. In 1972 Chrysler built a little beauty of a straight six. The E49 Hemi. 220KW from a 4.3L straight six with 3 dual barrel carbies, N/A bog stock. These things could pump out 280kw if you stuck a hairdryer on them with just 8lb of boost, a lot of us were doing it in the late 70s..

OK lets not stick a hemi into a holden. But decent figures can be had from 202's, you can fix them with fencing wire blindfolded, and no-one is doing them anymore. I say go the twinT 202 and have some fun seeing what you can get out of it.

 

somewhere around 650hp with forged internals

 

I cant make your life that easy!!

So whats stopping to prove that this would beat any standard ls1 conversion

6>8=win?

 

you mean apart from cubic inches and math.

and pretty much every point that sabbath raised already.

 

Cost

Difficulty

Anything a 249ci engine can do a 300ci+ engine can do better.

 

Where'd all the v6 talk come from?

I only looked in here cause it said Twin Turbo 202


I say do it :spot on:

 

when i got my l67 calais every person i asked what they would rather said v8, v6's are sh%t! so i bought the v6! why? because im not a sheep that follows the heard! i love v8s and would happily own one but seeing as i only know of 3-4 other l67's where i live i figured i'd go the opposite direction of a 8!

so im figuring the OP is the same! knows that the power is there in a 5L or LSX conversion but would rather have some fun/a challenge turboing a 202....answer=do it!

you can then add it to your life experience list! as being good or bad. lol

 

i think a lot of misinterpretation goes on in this forum.

so i am a V8 fanboi, that much should be obvious. i am not say dont turbo your 202, get a V8. i am giving OP cold hard facts. a turbo 202 will cost you a LOT of money, wont be something you could drive everyday, and it wont be reliable.

by going the v8 route you could have something equally as fast, a whole lot more reliable and useable in city traffic or on highways.

you could quite easily bolt a turbo on a 202 and you should. its unique and engine bays look so fken KEWL with a snail tucked away inside them. but please dont think for a second that you will get any more than a 10-15% boost in power and keep it safe/relaible. thats the trade off.

the only way to safely do 50% or more boost in power would be if you dug right into the guts of your engine and replaced pretty much the whole lot. not only that the drivetrain will have to be toughened to suit which will cost you tonnes because a powerful 202 is "unique" which means no one else does it which means parts are hard to find which means they cost a lot.

but yeah i think OP should do it. dial in something small like 4-5psi then wait for something to break. if you are not reliant on this car to get you to work and back then there is nothing stopping you from pushing it and having fun.

 

agreed!
