    Looking for a csc kit or a L36 m90 complete kit. I'll even take a complete top swap kit but the either first 2 are more preferred. Let me know I'm ready to start diggin into this engine. New to this forum.

    those csc kits are rare. I applaud your choice to find one, but realistically it is unlikely it will turn up. plus, they are usually expensive, you could get into a top swap kit for about 500 dollars.

    Go turbo, save money, time, and energy. Just remember, anything like that and you are in for a world of hurt in the transmission area.

    You could grab an entire motor for $500 I would bet and then just drop it in or take the parts off and do a top swap.

    no one currently makes a csc kit, and I have never seen a new one available for sale. I can probably count the number of times I have seen a used csc kit for sale on one hand

    I remember one guy a while back on the v6Fbody linking to a holden centrifugal blower setup on a commodore VN/VR

    but since just the bare head unit can go for almost 2k+$, then you have alum plates and a good bit of engineering....you could probably do it for about twice the cost of a turbo kit

    I have one. It's been nothing but a headache and a nightmare of a build. You should really just look into the turbo build.

    Everything on this build has to be custom made, when I run into issues, no one can honestly help me. Tuning it has been a chore.

    Every performance shop in my area has turned the car away because it's just not common enough, or they aren't familiar enough with the engine to take the car.

    What problems do you have? I am installing a zzp CSC kit and it looks straight forward and bolts on. Tuning should be just like any boosted car as well.

    My install is done, and I've been running it for 2 years now. I also had to do a fully custom skinny fan system, as the shroud on my 2000 Monte got in the way. I have yet to be able to go WOT with the car. It just bucks and hesitates and used to misfire but I got that to stop.

    I've had to drop so much timing out of the car and it still breaks up when I get above 4800RPM.

    Currently running the CSC kit on only 5lbs of boost (have no idea how to get new cogs to even change the boost output). ZZP HVTB, HV3 insert, ER Rockers, 180 Thermo, Autolite 103s, 42# injectors, front plog, zzp downpipe, no cat, GMPP exhaust.

    I have HPTuners for my tuning. Just got myself a wideband that I need to install, and I'm thinking about getting a walbro 255, but finding so many different things about adding that.

    I'm sure it's running out of fuel up top..wideband will show that..thr kit needs a bigger pump. Mine will be on e85...can't wait to get mine put in!

    That's why I have the wideband, and going to get the new pump. But I'm seriously barely pushing any boost, so IDK how that stock pump would be fine for an L67 pushing more.

    I'm hoping that I can sort the issues. Anyone know the proper 255 for a non-venturi set up? I wish they sold drop ins, and not having to reuse my stock canister.

    This is why I want one of these, it has to be one of the greatest looking mods for the grand prix by far!

    You are comparing apples or oranges here. Pressure is not an indication of flow.

    I guess that makes sense. I was just hoping to not have to keep dropping more and more into the build haha

    I bet you just need to add fueling in the tune...also the 255 fits in a non venturi bucket pretty easily there are some write ups on it as well when I did mine a few years back.
