I have a 99 camaro with a 3800v6. I would like to install a turbo kit, but I cannot get a straight answer out of anyone about how to properly size a turbo for my application.
I already have a fair amount of supporting modifications for a turbo application. I have Diamond 9.5:1 forged pistons and GM L32 connecting rods. The entire rotating assembly was balanced to 3.5 grams by my local race shop. It has clevite 77 bearings and 90psi oil pressure above 2000rpm. It has a double roller timing chain and the balance shaft was removed. There is a walbro 255lph fuel pump out back.
the top end is very unimpressive. I have stock cyl. Heads with comp 105# valvesprings. The cam is barely larger than stock. It is a comp 200/206 off the shelf grind. My only power adder is a NOS 100 dry shot. I would like to convert that to wet once my turbo is in place.
I would like to get an intense stage 2 or 3 turbo cam, and I would let intense program the PCM. My local speed shop can port and polish the cylinder heads. I plan on intercooling the setup.
What kind of turbo(s) should I get? Is one or two better? I have a fair deal of money to play with. I was thinking about a twin setup, with one small turbo for low RPM boost, and one big one for upper RPM. Throw some ideas my way, so I can start shopping for parts.
