I was working on the swap today, and after all the inifnite knowledge on forced induction nitrous injected carburation performance givin to be by the Master Tuner Akimoto himself, I needed to pay tribute. So I did. The pics say all. Yes, this piece is on my car, and yes, it is functioning perfectly.
And yes, the welds look horrific. The pipes were very unpure and dirty, and I could only do a 1/4" bead every 10min to prevent the flange from warping. But I ground them down and painted it and it looks decent. I do plan to replace this piece later on, I just needed something to get me by.

Yes, because there are so many 265hp DOHCs running around with custom tuned equal length headers, and so many people emptying their bank accounts for independent throttle body setups, heads that flow more than ANY small block Chevy head made, custom cams, etc.

265 hp from a DOHC V6? That's like being proud of getting 150 hp from a Metro 3-cylinder. Please . I'm a fan of that swap, but even so, you're barely matching a stock supercharged 3.8L V6 with that kind of horsepower. So impressive! . When you run 11's in the qtr, then maybe you can expect people to bow down. For now you're just Shaun's little ***** .
I dont know much about that motor. But regardless, 265 is still 265. Its a decent number, but not much to brag about. Talk to Matt Hawkins. Thats a 3.4DOHC that I can respect, and seen in person.

Yah they really eat up boost, Tim got 400 through an auto tranny and stock motor with just 10psi. But with stock internals, heads, cams, intakes, etc, they aren't very strong n/a, and 265 is still number two or three IIRC for N/A ones that we know of.
GonsaiPK, how dare you argue, I DID use JB!!! lol, check out the second pic, it is JB. But it is JB Kwik and not real JB Weld...lol
All what money wasted Pat? It's a Lumina for God sakes...
25hp isn't barely matching, that's beating. And not only that, but I walked a GTP with a pulley, DHP tuner, exhaust, and CAI from a light and a roll 5min after we both dynoed. Not to mention I'm doing it down a half liter and without a blower...
That's funny right there.. I don't care who you are!
Seriously Aaron, I am impressed by how much work you do to your car. I can do bolt-ons and electrical work, and machining, but I have a tough time doing swaps and stuff that's not supposed to fit where you make it fit.
Keep up the good work! I WISH I had a car that would put down 265 hp!

You get 150 hp from a 1 liter motor and your doing something. Stock is 49hp and with the Factory Turbo is is 80hp so you are either 2x or 3x the stock HP so that is a Major Feat!!!! As a Matter of fact there are several Metro motors with 200+ HP at the wheels which are daily drivers. Don't knock that little motor besides, 150 HP in a complete motor that weighs about 130lbs total is a very SWEET package. oh yeah, those getting those #'s are still getting 35 MPG out of them and running 12's and 13's in the 1/4. Back off the G10 Motors!!!

Why not just simply weld a piece of exhaust or something over the little hole. Didn't you say your a master welder or something? That is just plain lazy Aaron.

the thing i want to know is why on earth would you want to be the new MTA??
He wants to get banned so Shaun (over in the shitty forum) will think he's cool. I doubt he ever will get banned though, some people actually gave him a bit of green.
aaron, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for reading it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul

Um, the current 3800SC has 260HP, and you're only 5HP above that (nevermind how your torque compares to it's 280 lb-ft). Sure, it's 25HP more than a Series II 3800, but if you want to compare against out of production engines to make yours sound better, it'll compare even better against a Series I.

Word has it that he's not too popular over there. How bad does one have to be to be unpopular over there?

I've got a non-running 2.5l and a non-running turbo 2.0l.... So what?!
It's all good in the hood. When did being into cars become so damn critical? I always thought it was just fun to do. Why does everyone get their panties in a twist over muffler tips, intakes, horsepower and quarter miles? Shoot, if you are having a good time, what's the big deal?
Aaron do you realize that using a dime to weld on your car could be filed as defacement of government property. the dime actually still belongs to the government it is just in circulation and now you have defaced it bringing its value to 0 so really you destroy government property
ummm....about using money....it is not illegal. If it was, do you realize how many millions of criminals we have called tourist? Place 50 cents & a penny into the nice metal geared machine & get your copper mammoth cave oval that was formerly known as a 'penny'. Substitute your favorite attraction with machine for the National Parks Mammoth cave souvenior.
The government actually "benefits" when money is taken out of circulation, since they can print more cheaply without causing inflation then.
