would i be better off taking my gen gettin it ported and run a 3.4 along with plog and tune. i already have a intake and plugs. or get a gen v and do the same support mods and what could i run then? would the cost outweigh the gains?

Gen V is still better and more efficient than a ported Gen 3. Pulley size on Gen 3 to Gen V do differ . A Gen V with a 3.4 will require headers, colder plugs, CAI and Tune
11-25-2012
so will a gen 3. i guess what im saying is whats the lowest i can run on a gen v compared to gen 3 on just headers tune plugs and cai
11-25-2012
the lowest is 3.4 on a Gen V anything lower will require cam , inter cooler and other bigger mods which could be found on the safely mpdding thread posted by "blue"
11-25-2012
and im guessing a 3.2 on a gen 3?
11-25-2012
that sounds about right
11-25-2012
soo basically i couldd save money and just throw a 3.4 scan and make sure im not gettin a butt ton of kr and go to a 3.2 with the same support mods. i mean im not gonna cam or ic just bolt on stuff you know
11-25-2012
yes you could do that, I personally like the Gen V better (cooler engine bay and more"whine"). I have a ported gen 3 on my gtp right now (reptile ported) . I used to have a 05 CompG with the Gen V and all supporting mods with a 3.4 and I miss the cool engine bay and the "whine" from it.
11-25-2012
is there really that big of a difference in whine ive been told by a few people now
11-25-2012
Huge difference, and the Gen 3 runs super hot you could barely touch it without getting burn where as the Gen V is cool all the time.
11-25-2012
idk if its worth 200+ for the blower than $100 for the tb adapter along with a lim
11-25-2012
would the gains be the same for a gen 3 3.4 and gen v 3.6 or would there be a advantage to the gen v due to it being more efficient
11-25-2012
More efficient = less heat and less potential knock.
11-25-2012
Ummm headers, intake, colder plugs and tune would get you a 3.4 on a gen 3 and a 3.6 on a gen v

First time I can remember reading, seeing or hearing this anywhere... Just saying.Originally Posted by 97gtpjoe

Agreed

a 3.2 with plog, intake, tune, plugs on a ported Gen 3?
No, 3.4 at the lowest IMO.
Get headers.
3.4 = More boost but more heat OR
3.5 = More timing, less heat but less boost.
Pick your poison.
And as for the Gen V, you could run a 3.6 on a Gen V and that would roughly equal a 3.4 on a Gen III but the Gen V will be more efficient. Gen V > Gen III

i feel headers would be hard to install. im probally wrong tho they just look really intimidating
11-25-2012
its 6 bolts per head, then break the bolts off the cat to res, and take the cross over off, the egr off, then re install the headers. cant be that hard at all.
bills got a good how to listed.
