wouldnt bother, not for the $$$ it will cost you. for that you could build a tough v8/inline 6. or another option, is a rb30 turbo engine, there alot cheaper to build, and are tough as!

Hey dodger,

if you read the current SM and last months.  they are doing a good series on tuff V6's.

apparently the factory supercharged V6's are the hot ticket.

well worth considering... lighter than a V8, fits easier, easy to engineer and rego.

but.. doesnt sound like a V8  

Cheers

isnt there an $1800 bolt on option from CRS?

the crs kit id a bit small for a 3.8, best way to go is a l67 or whatever they are that is already prepped to run boost without forking big bucks on modifications to a na v6, I dont go much on the v6 but ive noticed some v6 commodores doing 11's with the sc v6, they look much much better once the rocker covers and supercharger are polished up

The holden ecotec V6, as most of you probably know is from buick.

They actually made factory turbo versions in the states, you can often find factory turbo manifolds and all the other items required for a conversion on ebay.com , if you are dead set on turbo'ing that may make it a bit cheaper. On the other hand how can you go wrong with a factory supercharged motor that is easy to get parts for locally.

A turbo will never match the instant grunt a supercharger gives.
