"It was a bit slow when i got it so i took a old Mitsubishi turbo and put on it. It gets about 9psi, but thats enough to whoop a honda!"



hahahahahahahaha, I looked at the engine pic and nowhere did I see any evidence of a turbo of any kind, maybe I overlooked it but still, hahahahaha

btw, that was the "Honda Eating Century"

And if the Pontiacs you were talking about, Bad99Olds, were the Sunbird, Fiero, and Astre, then you're on the right track.

Ahh, I see from that article that the SD4 is based on the same engine, but slightly different. Although not ALL of them had timing gears. A friend of mine has a grand am with a chain!

The Century could be had with a 2.5 up to '93, the 2.2 replaced it for 94-96. The new body style came out in '97 and all century models after that had the 3100 M or J depending on year. The V6 was optional in earlier models.

Yeah, the earlier V6 was the 3.3L and you really don't hear alot about those.

Hell, 9psi on my Buick would blow it to pieces

Actually for the V6s they could be had with a 2.8, 3.0, 3.1, 3.3, 3.8 or 4.3 depending on the year.
