Jasg just turbo your built one will make serious power .use a nice tuned length manifold set and a large rear housing to still let the exhaust heat out will be a weapon

Hey Jas,

My turbo motor may take a while to come together, i just happen to come across a nice v6 solid cam on gumtree, i'm thinking i'll slot that in with some thinner headgaskets (11:1) and see what she'll do. It's a custom grind 240/246 @ 50, 600lift ( 1.65 rockers) 108lsa. Adv durations are a snappy 280/286. Should go over 285rwhp and be a bit of fun for the winter, hopefully get another n/a v6 into the 12's.

Will be interesting to hear how it sound an go's.... What way have you gone with lifters for the solid roller?
Sooo would be cool to see another Na v6 into the 12's. Never no why there isn't more, just need to biuld these engines correctly to make them work

To many people keep spamming V6 threads with "just get a V8" and "it's not value for money"......

Not 100% on lifters yet Jas as its more of an interim engine i can't afford to buy brand new tie bar solid lifters, was thinking maybe convert a set of spare hyd lifters i have. Yeah exactly mate, it's not hard or expensive, most of the money is in the heads but otherwise it's a pretty basic/budget build really, that can still be daily driven. I think half the problem is no shops were interested in building them, no one saw the potential. Anyway speaking of fast n/a sixes it's probably old news but came across "na202" on youtube running 9's! That thing is mental and the sound, damn!
