The turbo off the conquest is like a mitsu 14b or 17b or something. That turbo would work for quick spool action on the street but its kinda too small believe it or not. I know some guys who put a turbo on a 3.0 that is VERY similar to the conquests turbo and they seen some decent results but overall powerband isn't too great. The car has off the line spool but it the boost doesnt pull through the powerband like it should. A properly sized hybrid is the way to go trust me. I bought a conquest turbo a while back.....and changed my mind for my project. Do what you want but id stick with a hybrid.

 

the 3.0 has tons of potential its just overlooked due to the vast availability of the 2.2 2.5 turbo tonas. alot of people have been doing the 3.0 24 valve SOHC swap into daytonas and shadows with great results. and lots of people have done turbo installs on these engines and they show awesome results.
here are some links to 3.0 turbo sites.

I only know one guy who swapped a 24v into his shadow and it having problems getting it to run with his megasquirt right. I dunno all the details though. Honestly if more people would be will to actually stick with the 3.0 12v setup and do real work to em (heads and cams etc) more companies would jump on and make products.

 

I think....this is a video of my turbo 3.0 boat anchor that will destroy mr srt-4's ignorance and his pathetic little srt-4

Sorry you dont know anything about engines!
I hope you educate yourself.
I hope you think its cool that 2.2-2.5's need to have their engine block coolant passages filled (cant drive the car on the street anymore) to make 300hp/liter and 6g7x blocks can make 500+hp/liter with no block filling. This obviously isnt a "displacement" issue either.
2.5L can only make 600crank hp before filling blocks.
3.0L can make 1500crank hp without filling the block. In face there has never been such a failure. I think I know which is the boat anchor.
Nelson performance has a few TWIN gt4202 mitsu v6's that can be driven on the street with a stock block. Thats 2000whp worth of turbo.

 

Thank you for that brent

 

yeah the stock quest turbo is rather small its a TD05 12A-8cm2 320 cfm @ 15psi.

 

i agree with iroc93. if more people wouldn't be so scared to work on these motors more parts would come forth. the performance potential is there its just locked up like the ol 351m-400 ford motors were. emissioned and under powered stock with some head work cams and compression these motors run! the guys out here working and playing with these 3.0s are pioneers! just like the guys who were building 240's back when honda crx's were the shizzle.

 

If its a v-6 you absolutely MUST have, why not score one of the 3.8s that are currently out there? Dont know if its the same motor as the DCX 3.8, but the v-6 in the current eclipse is worth something like 280 horse stock. Stick a pair ofrebuilt turbos on that and stuff it in a 'tona and watch the honda guyscry like little girls.

Still, for my money when the time comes for me to get a G-body, Ill stick to the 2.2 II, do the dohc head swap from a newer 2.0/2.4 and some bolt on performance mods including a little gnarlier turbo. That should dust even the turbo III irocs with day-to-day reliability and no trying to hunt down those rare and expensive lotus-designed cylinder heads.

 

The 3.8s are pushrod engines....they do not respond so well to boost. Why be like everybody else and their brother and get a 2.2? To me thats just too easy. There would be more of a market for 3.0s if less people played the game of "Just get a 2.2 turbo".

 

its like i always say iroc there are front runners who make prgress and change and then there are sheep who follow and keep the same ol same ol
