i was going to turbo my 2000 v6. it has an air intake new brake pads upgraded clutch parts short throw shifter and i choped the y pipe and put on a h adapter with a mac cat back exhaust. my buddy who owns city auto repair (for those of you living in bakersfield area) heard what i was gonna do. and freaked out. he told me that i will definetly blow up my engine even with a really low psi setting. he wants me to straight trade him my car for a 95 gt 5.0. damn near bone stock. he wanted me to take my my stuff and design my turbo for that. most of the sixers tell me to keep my car and turbo that one. but i wanted to see what all of you think. i understand i have to build the engine to handle the power but which one would be more worth it? some say the 6 will be stronger than the old 5.0. but then some say i will be more powerful with the 5.0. thanks for any help.

You will spend money out the a$$ to turbo the sixer,5.0 stuff is relatively cheap and theres alot of it.I say go for the 95 if its in good shape.

that's what they say about 2.3s and you can have over 300hp with $500 and some kno-how



he wants some reasons to do it, not jus how much it would cost

like having more power..

[Iownastang]

I know that but I was just sayin that it would be expensive!And 2.3 blocks dont like it when they get past the 300 mark.A 2.3 IS NOT A 3.8 EITHER.

[MSO]

tell that to turbolx, he's making well over 300 lol

and he already knows its gonna be more expensive

he asked the V6 guys already.. but they ended up flaming him

so he came here

[Iownastang]

Im not gonna flame anyone i was just sayin.

[MSO]

nah its cool man

you can easily get a lot more parts for a 5.0

hell, you can stroke it to a 347 and turbo it and make all kinds of power that you couldn't dream of with a V6

[Iownastang]

Wait a sec im the one buildin the 347,I just dont want him to waist his money and not get to the power level he wants.

[MSO]

i hear ya

but he got money in his 6 already

the GT is stock

so it's going to cost a lot of money to get it all back

but he will be more powerful

thus the dilemma

lol

[Iownastang]

thoughts ooooooooooooo thoughts please come to me!!!!!help me help me what shall i do?

[Iownastang]

Or he could buy a jinkyard 5.0 and build it then out it in his car.

[MSO]

that's a good idea

you can get a 302 or a 351 anywhere in a junkyard too

which is also a good idea.. y not jus go 351? lol

junkyard 351 w/ a junk yard turbo is power!

if you ever need some help on junkyard turbos jus ask lol

[Hourofpain]

DONT!!!

the 94-98's are ugly
imo

keep the new edge

[dark-samurai2]

wow in 13 posts i got more help from you guys then i did in the v6 section. hahaha that was amazing. the only ones that actually helped were mso onemanzu and that other guy but i cant remember his name haha. thanks man.

[dark-samurai2]

any sites where i can find stuff for the 5.0 like forged internals or stuff i can take out of different engines. stuff like that. that way i can see what im looking at.

[dark-samurai2]

[Iownastang]

How much power do you want to end up makin.And how much do you have to spend,

[Iownastang]

Coast high performance sells some good stuff and it has a good price on it.I have one of there 347 stroker short blocks.
