Turbo for a 3.4 V6?

I am being told that I should do a few mods to my 3.4 V6 1995 Camaro. One of them is a super charger or turbo for it. Only problem I am having is finding one for the 3.4, I have found plenty for the 3.8 but none for my specs. If anyone knows of a company that manufactures such a product please let me know.

If you don't want to pay a few thousand for a turbocharger setup then you will have to do a home grown install.
There are turbo kits for the 3.4L camaro but there rare also big $$$$ and there are no super charger kits that I have herd of.
I am planing to put a turbocharge on my 3.1 camaro after I get to Japan this winter (my car should get there in the spring).
I am going to over haul/rebuild the engine and do a few upgrades also I'm taking over some extra heads (rebuilt) and exhaust manifolds that I will put together with a turbo charger(used) and bolt on to the engine, install the inter cooler and run the plumbing and go from there.
If you do it your self you stand to learn a lot.

i want to know who is tellingyou to mod your 3.4? unless you are tiago, most people dont even bother. i am not flamming, just looking to see what you are planning to get out of it. you mentioned sc or turbo, like tiago said, it is all custom and big money. its not impossible, just extremely rare.

eric eric eric
lets see, where do i start? to answer your question
Why the hell are you modding your v6?
i started modding my car so i would not be like every other mexican driving around san antonio thinking they are the shiat in their V6 camaro.

now back to my original post. i did ask him
what you are planning to get out of it.
he said he should do a few mods. well we all know that a supercharger or turbo are not just a "few mods" they are serious mods. so what i am thinking is that somebody MIGHT have told him "dude, you need to get a few mods- like a supercharger or turbo!" and if that was the case. that person doesnt know what the heck he is talking about.
now if he had come on here and said "i am planning on doing extensive amount of work to my 3.4 so that it will get to mid 14s, i would not have asked him that. it would have appeared to me that he knew what he was looking to get.
now if he had come on here looking for an intake, that would be different now wouldnt it? i did say i wasnt flamming. and there is a huge difference between my 3.8 and his 3.4 when it comes to modding. but i am glad you asked me that- now people will know why my V6 is faster than most of thiers. dude, i am just trying to help.

But i have to say, why are you wasting your time on a 3.8l series II motor, get a TTA, and it will run better tiems then you are running stock, with same amount of money it could be in the 12s or better.

Thats what I have to say if he wants to mod his car let him mod it.

i never said "dont mod your car its a waste of time."

incedently, i have not heard one person, tell me i was wasting my time on my 3.8...........whats more impressive? a 400 hp V8 or a 300 hp V6? i have said this time and time again- anybody can buy a fast car, but not just anybody can make a slow car fast. its not how fast your car goes, its how fast you have made your car go.
and another reason, prolly the most important reason i mod my V6 is cause that is what i bought when i went to the car dealership. i had no idea i would ever start modding it. if i had known the diff. between V6 and V8 camaros and what i could be doing at the track, i prolly would have bought a Z. i was just looking for something economical at the time. i used to drive a volvo!

wow

looks like i have started some debate here, i just simply wanted to know if either of these things actually existed for my engine. As to why I am doing this, it's simple, I wanna show all the *******s out there that think their hot **** with their V8s that you can blow the doors off one with a v6. Ultimate goal here is to beat a guy at work with a stock lightning.

i am not being mean, but unless you are willing to dish out an ungodly amount of money, you are fighting a losing battle. only a handfull of V6s can blow the doors off V8s and we are talking serious work being done to their cars. its just not feasable. its even harder with a 3.4! nitrous is your best bet. but still then you will not be spanking any LS1s. and racing a truck is a whole other story!

i am sorry, you just cant blow the doors off a V8 with our V6s.
i am sorry and i would hope other people will come on here and agree with me instead of giving you false hopes. that is unless you are willing to spend an UNGODLY amount of time and money and patience and more money. but hey, whatever you do - good luck luck to ya!
