boosting a block with two welded holes in it doesnt seem like a solid start for your platform build. might i suggest replacing that 3.1 with a later model 3.8...hell even a 3.4.

iirc the 3.1 and 3.4 are both 60 degree v6's and are interchangable. hell it might be worth it to you to look into www.60degreev6.com. also im not sure but you might be able to toss on some heads from the newer fwd 3500 v6's. if you can id look into going that way because they flow better than 3400 heads ported and polished at their best.

theres plenty of options for the 60 degree v6's that you should look into if your actually serious.

thats a video of a 3400 v6 turbo at 10 psi doing 12.9 in a fwd corsica. the guy is on 60degv6 i believe and has tons of info on this type of application and tuning.

block dosent have "holes" in it and it was only a quick repair for the dyno,
i just droped off my spare block at the machine shop to have it line bored and honed, soon as i get it back my internals are getting swaped over to it

as far as that corrsica ive matched his times.every time he went out and ran last year i would go out the next week and run the same time if not faster with the same amount of boost with a smaller turbo.

3xxx topend swaps dont impress me,for as much more as those heads flow on paper,my car and the alumin head cars are all within .1 of a second et wise, and ive gfot 173ci compared to the 200+ those guys are using


i will give the alumin heads are much nicer in an n/a application with guys making almost 300 hp na but there having trouble with spinning rod bearings

60degreev6 is the whole reason my car even went to the dyno
