I have been looking for a project and just decided to use my 2004 grand prix gt, i have been thinking an LS swap or a built 3800 with a rear mount turbo setup like the sts kit with water meth, i am curious to hear some ideas some opinions, other similar setups any info would be a great deal of help
thanks,
Lambda

Ummm...
3800.
Snail it.
Stud the block.
Get a race trans.
Go rape newbz.
The end.

There have been very few STS turbo setups on GP's. Mainly due to the long oil lines you have to run to the back of the car. It has been done, but most prefer the turbo mounted in the engine bay.
There are a few turbo kits out there. Personally, I wouldn't bother with the STS kit as the ZZP kit has been proven very well. I own a cartuning kit and have been pleased with it. Its not the greatest design out there but gets the job done.

LS swap? Really?
Some people read too much Car Craft.

Go Big Block! hahaha

LSX454 with boost?

yea, LS swap really,some people do know how to do more than buy parts, have you ever seen a karmann ghia with an LS, or do you not no what that is

Look at a gxp and learn why lsx don't belong in a wbody.

Swap an LS................
Sure go buy a LS4 from a GXP Monte SS Impala SS or Buick Lacross Super

Different platform than a wbody. A LS swap will take some work and has been done before with less than stellar results. If you aregoing to do a LS swap then you might as well make the car RWD which is a chore in itself.Originally Posted by Lambda
For LS swap info pm tokyojoe. I believe it was his pops that did one.

thanks for the info, ill check into

LS4 can be turbo'd, LS4 can have head swaps, LS4 can have headers, LS4 can have cam swaps, LS4 can have nitrous, I dont get why people bash on the of just do a 3800. If you wanna find some people that have actually modded LS4s check LS1tech.com then go to the LS4 section!

its easy there is no replacement for displacement, its not bashing the 3800 at all, just seeing if going after more cubes was worth it, and its not everyday you see a grand prix with an LS2, isnt that what a forum is for asking questions and swapping ideas, seems to be a different story here

not ls2 ls4! Have fun fitting a LS2 the LS4 has different pan belt system and other parts.

Different story...because different isn't always better.

I guess i should of been more exact, LS series other than ls4, thats what i was curious, thanks for the info

Having the same as a million other people isnt either just like the hundreds of Wbodies that have mustang wheels on them. IMO a Buick Lacross super with a turbo and TEP trans would be kick ass!!

I sincerely hope your entire post count wasn't generated by trolling here for performance info.
08-09-2011
so from what im gathering is way to much fab and money for the gain, stick to the 3800 build it, and boost it till it spontaniously combusts
08-09-2011
pretty much.
