An Idea

[Aredtear]

Ok so this isn't a build but I read some guys talking about this on g5club.net and was thinking of doing it myself (after my warrenty runs out)

So the conversation started with a guy thinking of doing an LS swap (most likely saw it from Forza) And some people figured it couldn't happen and what not. Their was then mention of doing a V6 swap and that's what struck my intrest. So that's what I'm seriously thinking of doing and s/c'ing it or t/cing it.

So my only questions are is this possible? and what would I have to do to make it fit and stuff? I'm gonna guess the stock mounts wouldn't do so I'm probably gonna have to look into swapping it with mounts off a G6.

Let me know what yall think. Good Idea? Bad Idea? And if you know if it's been done could anyone let me know how they did it? Thanx Guys

I'm asking this on here cause their are a few people on g5club that just like to shit on people and their ideas

assuming the v6 goes in without a hitch t/cing it would seem easier

 

[Aredtear]

But don't alot of the V6 engines come with a setup for super charging? I'm just remembering the old engines in the Grand Prix GTP's 3800 Supercharged.

 

[cobalt123]

what i think would be cool was a swap from a g8 gt or a g6 gxp

What's in the GXP? I can't remember for the life of me.

increase the bores and s/c it??? with the reduced weight of the cobalt???

 

[Aredtear]

Wow someone does their homework hahaha. Now I'm guessing that they only came in Auto.... so would it be able to bolt up to a standard Trans?

 

[cobalt123]

nah just went to motor trends and searched

 

[SportLt]

cobalt +v6 swap + twin turbo= pocket GTR

 

[Aredtear]

cobalt +v6 swap + twin turbo= pocket GTR

God Dammit I like your thinking

 

[cobalt123]

fully built internals with polished and ported headers/TB/supercharger, intake manifold/ dual pass/ optionb/ stock heat exchanger plus a cobra HE... meth injections...etc.etc must haves

 

[Aredtear]

Plus money..... and lots of it

 

[cobalt123]

and run e85

 

[sloancallaway]

not worth in man... just turbocharge... supercharge or buy somehting faster... you especially dont want to get into that unless yout are confident you can do it all yourself

 

[cobalt123]

awww party pooper its all theoretical anyways

 

[Aredtear]

I dunno. I think the only hard part would be getting a new Wiring harness for the V6 and re-wiring everything. All the mechanical stuff could be pretty easy plus it helps when you know some people with their own shops and stuff that can lend a hand. I still have like 3 years of thinking and planning cause I'm not gonna do anything until my warrenty runs out

 

[cobalt123]

dont forget about the bcm,pcm ecm, transmissions wouldnt line up

 

[Tom]

ill say the same thing that i said on g5club.net...

If your oprah rich anything is possible....



















Just turbo your ride

 

[cobalt123]

also moved this to general discussion as you said not a build

 

[Aredtear]

Haha alright then, just thought it could be a build cause I COULD possibly do it. I was also searching the other day and came across a guy who had done this to his 05 G5..... but the site I found it was kinda shady so I dunno weather to believe it or not. SO yeah I dunno
