New Commodore V6 Turbo

[Guest PaulM]

As already satated, you can run a single turbo on a vee configured engine, but it is not really viable. Thus straight engines are generally turbo charged and vee s a re supercharged.

Expensive Daewoo would be placing a lot of confidence in their service departments to keep a single turbo vee engine performing without major tuning probs arising.

My bet, it will not happen. Better supercharger maybe, but not a single turbo.

Did anyone see issue 9 of SPEED(Oct-Nov 2003)? They features a HKS kitted Z33 Fairlady (350z) VQ35DE with a single HKS 3037 Turbocharger. 0.8bar of boost. HKS claimed power is 340kw and claimed 400m 12.2 seconds and 0-100km/h in 4.3 seconds. The picture of the engine bay in the magazine looks very tidy...

They'd just do it likethe SAAB system (basically same motor IIRC) ...

That is a bank of 3 cylinders feeds a small turbo which boosts the intake.

Benefits include packaging the turbo on the passenger side of the block leaving the drivers side to accomodate steering components. All that kind of jazz.

Would only be a low boost setup but probably let them wind up about 5-6psi without a worry....

Whoa! A sensible reply . From what I'm lead to beleive this is the way they will go - a conservative low blow arrangement that will primarily be used in the calais and statesman - along the lines of Saab/ Volvo setups.

That will be enough of that!!!!

Can't have any of that going on, move along, move along, nothing to see here.........

I seem to remember reading somewhere that they will be doing this engine in a couple of capacites, might have been 2.8, 3.2 and 3.8 and that some of them would have a low pressure turbo as they would be exporting the engines for saabs. If this is true then I would assume Expensive Daewoo would use the 3.8 in the dunnydore and export the others.
