Six Speed Manual in a Grand Prix!

[Freebeer187]

Hell yeah!

Put a blower on it

who knows...his car was for sale, i seen it in other forums and on the interweb...so you might be able to get lucky and buy it..i think he was asking 7k...

I was actually asking 9k for it, but now I am trying to beat the financial rapids and keep the car.
I was actually thinking of putting a whipple on it. You know, if I can put a six-speed manual transaxle in the car, I have the confidence that I can make a whipple work. I will have to wait until I am rich and famous to do that, but it is fun to think about.

what the hells a whipple?

 

[Quicklynx]

Basically..... its on the Cobras... however the whipple on our cars is completely custom to work and fit and a whole other mess of stuff!

 

[minichopper6hp]

they dont come whipple factory lol its just a better blower, its aftermarket, a different design too

 

[Quicklynx]

Ye I wasn't trying to imply they came factory but I can see how it sounded that way, haha

 

[offroadfury6]

nah, i think the m90 is a good blower

The M90 is a good SC for wat it is; but it doesn't hold a candle to a Whipple.

what the hells a whipple?

A Whipple is basically a twin screw blower vs. a Roots style blower that doesn't bleed off boost or not make any power up top...the Whipple just keeps making power...and where the M90 on a 3.8" will make about 6-8psi at WOT, the Whipple makes about double that. But...the Whipple is also more than twice the size of the M90...

See b*tchin' video here...

nah, i think the m90 is a good blower

It is for awhile...until you need bigger and better, but it cannot compare in anyway to a Whipple...especially when you open the throttle up :th_biggrin2:

Brain... any thoughts on developing your manual trans swap into a kit?

Id like a performance one, haha. I'm trying to get a LS4 swap together. I'm debating on going the full distance and putting a 6 speed on it. A few Fiero guys have mated a 6 speed to their LS4 swap.
