whats a good aftermarket auto transmission?

i have a 1997 chevy cavalier 2.2L with a t3t4 full turbo kit and a 100 shot nos kit and i wanted to know of a good aftermarket automatic transmission that can handle this stuff.

ANSWER: (Devin the best thing you can do is check around your local area, find a mechanic that is really good with transmissions, especially high performance ones. Here is why first if you use some internet company, you need to do plenty of research and find out which ones are any good and stand behind their stuff, their are hundreds of places that happily take your money, and you have no idea what is in the tranny you get back. If you have a problem, you have to pay to ship the tranny back, and if it is a warranty job, great, if it is not, you pay again, meanwhile you are stuck waiting around to get it back, and since they have your money already who knows how long turn around is. buy going with someone local, you will get a better transmission, you will know what is in it, they can build it stouter than you need to allow for upgrades, and if you pay a local shop to take it out, and reinstall it, if there is any problem,it is under warranty, you are not the guy yarding the tranny in and out and in and out and........... A lot of guys with performance engines, find it easier to let some other mechanic focus on the transmission aspect, this gives you more time to tweak on the motor, and you have the advantage of a local transmission shop who will have access to any parts you need, much quicker than a 1800 number in florida somewhere.)

Can you just pour bio diesel in a 1990 Chevy k2500 6.2 diesel or do you have to buy a conversion kit?

I own a 1990 Chevy k2500 Silverado 6.2 liter turbo diesel and have been hearing about this bio diesel and was wondering, can I just pour bio diesel from a bio diesel station into my truck and it will just work or am I going to have to buy conversion kits? If I buy a conversion kit could I go back to regular diesel if I wanted to or am I stuck with what I got? Will it hurt the injection pump in any way? because I've heard it is really difficult to replace injection pump.

ANSWER: (The bio-diesel will work just fine. Bio-diesel is actually a blend of regular diesel fuel and bio-diesel fuel.)

How to oil feed a twin turbo chevy 355?

We bought a twin-turbo kit and are trying to find the BEST possible way to feed both turbos. Oil return is NO problem at all. Is there a part to buy or are there ay ideas? pics? part numbers? links would help alot. Thank you.Turbo Kit is customized from God Speed Performance and the turbos are front mounted and we are not running a dry sump and the car is not fuel injected.

ANSWER: (You need a couple of 1/8" NPT T fitting Take your oil pressure sender out ofblock at rear next to dizzy. Screw in a T fitting. Put your oil pressure sender into one on the ports on the T Then on the other side of T run one 3/16 or 1/4" line up towards front of engine, then put another T on that line and split off with a 1/8" line to each turbo. That's the way I set my dad's T3/4 hybird twin turbos on his 327. I used hard line, compression fittings and NPT fittings/Ts On the return lines make sure both returns are atleast 5/8" inside dia.. but no larger than 7/8" Both returns needs to go downhill and into front part of oil pan)

diesel turbo in a gas truck?

I have a chevy silverado and i want a turbo but i dont want to spend the money to buy the sts turbo kit. I am a do it yourselfer and am pretty good with mechanical things including working on my truck, what i dont know i can research and learn through. would it be possible for me to go to say a junkyard and get a turbo (intercooler, etc.) out of a recked diesel truck and get it to work in my own? I'm sure it would take alot of manufacturing and custom work but is this even ideal and would it really save me money?

ANSWER: (I highly doubt it would work, since the engine rpm's we're talking about differ so much between gas and diesel engines. Your best bet is to go to Gale Banks and see what they have. http://bankspower.com/ Here's another link for used Chevy turbos:http://www.automotix.net/partshotline-chevy-silverado_1500-turbocharger-requests.html)

How much would it cost to rebuild my chevy camero 2010 engine with a turbo charger so i can have a 1000hp? Also how much is a body kit.

ANSWER: (Well just a turbo wont get you to a 1000 hp and I agree with Scott 30-50 k is not that far off since there is no enginering on how well the engine will stand up to a 1000 hp build and all the parts would be custom and you will need all the softwear in the ECM to be remapped for the fuel mixture when in and out of boost and at what psi. just the rewrite work on something that new would run you about 7-10 grand)

ANSWER: (Yes and it is a direct bolt on. Stock 177hp Turbo 290. They do recommend an exhaust change. And fuel system modifications. They recommend doing the fuel modifications first before the turbo.Hahn's BoostFueler is recommended. Changes it from a non return system to a return system and pretty straight forward install.)

1994 Chevy v6 Camaro swap?

Hi, I have been looking at f-body camaros. I want to get one and then do a swap to a 3800 motor. I suppose I would be willing to swap to an lt1, I'm not sure of the year yet. But I wanted to know if there are any turbo kits for the 3.4 or if I went with the 3.8 if there were any out there that would be good. I know that swapping to an lt1 would probably be easier, but I would like to stay with a v6 for my own reasons.

ANSWER: (Personally, if it was my car and i had to spend the money i would do the engine swap for the lt1. You're going to spend about the same on the swap regardless of what you swap in, and the lt1 is not only a great engine to modify but there are also quite a few parts available for it. At that point if you still want to turbo it then by all means. Either stick with the current engine, and build it up, or upgrade into the V8.)

looking for a Twin Turbo kit?

The engine is a chevy 350 and it is not fuel injected the engine?the engine is completely mechanical

ANSWER: (They are no twin turbo kits for a v8 chevy case the engine can be put into so many diff cars, and te turbo system can be set up so many diff ways. You want turbos, your on your own. You must fab up the system your self. You can find pre made turbo headers now which is one of the hardest parts to build so that makes it easier Then weld, cut, bend up your own piping, or use pre made bends you can buy and silicon couplers to hook the lenghts of pipes together.)

Building a twin turbo 350 Chevy?

I own a 1978 El Camino with a mild 350 small block, and I've recently been obsessed with the idea of rebuilding it with a twin turbo kit. I've seen complete kits for about $1,500 which seems very reasonable. I want my El Camino to be a unique "sleeper" that makes people scratch their heads when it whistles by! Anyways, I've heard positive and negative things about blow though carburetors so I'm not sure what to believe. Guys that have used centrifugal power adders on carbureted engines seem to have no complaints about them, but I want a reliable 450-500 horsepower street engine that won't have many issues. I know that you can build a naturally aspirated engine with that much horsepower but it won't have nearly as good of a power band or low end torque. Plus like I said, I want to do this for the uniqueness factor. People won't give a naturally aspirated Nova with a 400hp 355 a second glance at car shows, but they might for a twin turbo '78 El Camino!I was thinking if I'm going to spend upwards of 5 grand on an engine rebuild, it might as well be something special right?!

ANSWER: (You want a reliable streetable engine? You want it to run smooth hard and clean ALL THE TIME? Electronic fuel injection my friend. Carburettors should never be someones first choice when modifying an engine. ESPECIALLY with forced induction. Two Demons on top of an 8/71 isn't too bad if you don't mind constantly having to tinker with your car. But turbo blow-through setups quite literally blow. A good aftermarket computer (ECU) that is easy to program from your laptop can be had for under $1000, then all you need is a couple of fuel rails, 8 injectors, a wiring harness for the injectors, and some fuel tank mods. Even better is to digitize the ignition as well - no more fiddling about with distributors - you set it once (on a laptop) and forget it. If you buy what is often referred to as a 3D ECU (it has a third reference axis on its maps) it will self adjust fuelling and timing to suit the prevalent atmospheric conditions. So your car will always run perfectly - whether you are driving in sub-zero temperatures, in 110 degree heat, at sea level or at 10,000 feet. If you want an engine with ridiculous amounts of torque everywhere (instant roll-on aceleration from anywhere above idle) then build yourself an engine with high compression (9.5:1) and a torque biased(towing) cam, you don't need more than 6000 RPM rev limit, use the smallest turbos you can get away with without needlessly restricting top end horsepower (a pair of Garrett GT28RS turbos in a .86 exhaust housing) with just enough boost to make the horsepower you want, and you should be smoking tyres in any gear with a flex of your toes. If you want bigger horsepower, still with good response, build a more traditional performance motor but with lower compression (8.5:1) - the usual mid-range cam, forged pistons, roller rockers (7500 RPM rev limit), Dart heads blah blah blah... Then fit a bigger pair of turbos (something like Garrett GT3037) and run more boost (15 psi), and if your tuner has any idea what they're doing, you should be seeing 850 - 1000 horsepower at the flywheel. There are a couple of workshops in the state I live in (Western Australia) that are turning out LS1 and LS2 engines with nearly 2000 horsepower at the flywheel that can be driven (only just) on the street...)

Is there any way of switching a 2003 chevy s10 4.3L v6 for a v8?

Either that or does anybody know of where to buy either a turbo or a supercharger kit for it?

ANSWER: (The 4.3L block casting was made from a 350 V8 with 2 cylinders removed. A 350 will bolt right in. The serpentine belt system from the 4.3 will bolt right to the 350. If you use the 4.3L serpentine belt, make sure you use a reverse rotation water pump. Use an aftermarket throttle body and intake manifold and you can use the 4.3 computer and fuel injection. The Spike TV Power Block Trucks series did a program on this swap into an S10 a couple of years ago. They did their complete conversion for less than $10,000 which included the price of the truck. You may be able to recover some of the cost of the modifications by selling any good parts from the 4.3L setup so be careful with your disassembly. You may be able to sell the parts locally by advertising in the local newspaper classified section or you could sell the parts on EBay or Craigs List. The truck in this series used a new 350 crate motor, but you could also use a re-manufactured engine from your favorite local auto parts store. You could even get a 350 from a used truck and rebuild it. But if I were going through all of the effort to put a 350 in an S10, I would use a crate motor. You can get a brand new GM performance Parts 290 HP 350 for less than $2000. This engine will be all new parts and will have a warranty. The link below includes the parts and adapters required to drop a 350 into your S10.)

turbo kit on a 3.8L v6?

My car is a 2000 Chevy Camaro with a 3.8L v6. I have no engine or performance mods. I want to add a turbo that, combined with other parts that I don't know of, can produce well over 300 horsepower. Does anyone know all the performance mods necessary to make a reliable and efficient TURBO 3800.1.What parts do I need?2.What order do I install them so I can test each mod individually?3.Total cost approx.4.Any other mods you would consider?4.Do you have experience with the GM 3800 series 3.8L v6? My camaro is worth about 2 grand because the passenger door is damaged and nearly every piece of the piece of **** interior needs replaced. lol As far as i'm concerned it looks and runs good, but not to a potential buyer looking for a decent interior. It would never sell, and friggen ay if I can make it faster w/out paying more for insurance and gas thats the way I wanna go.

ANSWER: (if you cant get the V8 in it, then go with a supercharger. a supercharger bolts on and all u really need is a larger serpentine belt. turbochargers need the turbo, special headers, blow-off valve, and an intercooler. superchargers will give you massive power on your entire RPM curve. turbos have to spool up before you get boost. and they cost twice as much with alot more work.)

How to twin turbo a 350 Chevy?

Right now I own a 1978 El Camino with a mild 350 engine, and initially I wanted to install a roots supercharger, but I thought a twin turbo kit would make it extremely fun/unique. I found a twin turbo kit on Ebay that comes with almost everything needed including the turbos for just $1180. They say the kit is good for 700 horsepower max, or 350 from each turbo. I'm looking to make 450-500 street-able horsepower. I know that in addition to the kit, I'll need to buy aftermarket heads, forged pistons, a large carburetor, and a better cam to accommodate the turbos. But what else will I need? Should I be looking at about a 7.5-1 compression ratio if I want to run 12psi boost? It says it comes with a manual boost controller, so does that mean that I can adjust the boost myself? What do you guys think of this kit in general? Do you think that I'd make LOADS of torque, because I've heard of twin turbo 350 Chevy's making over 600lb ft on 12psi? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts-Accessories_Car-Truck-Parts-Accessories__CHEVY-SBC-283-400-CAMARO-FIREBIRD-TWIN-TURBO-FULL-KIT_W0QQitemZ380081140853QQddnZPartsQ20Q26Q20AccessoriesQQadiZ2865QQddiZ2811QQadnZCarQ20Q26Q20TruckQ20PartsQ20Q26Q20AccessoriesQQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item380081140853&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A543|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

ANSWER: (It sounds like a good kit and that you have a done enough research to know what you need, yes Manual boost control is just that, you can adjust it most likely from inside the car, however if you are looking for torque go with forced induction as a turbo requires RPM to start working and a super charger is always producing power.)

How much would a 1983 Chevy Silverado be worth?
