Turbocharging a Chrysler Pacifica
Got on this kick yesterday looking at Popular hotrodding online.
http://popularhotrodding.com/tech/0411phr_sts/ A remote mounted turbocharger that would fit my ls1 camaro, BUT I thought after looking at the web page why not on the Pacifica. Remote mounted turbo. No kit for the pacifica, but from what I see they have looks very easy to fabricate a setup. http://www.ststurbo.com And looking around on the net, there's not much performance stuff for the 3.5L But after looking at http://www.turbominivan.com was thinking that a turbo would be cool on the Pacifica. Shockingly, the wife disagrees. Saw a link to a Pacifica called "Oblivion" http://www.oblivionperformance.com/oblivion_pics.html but way too over the top for my tastes. Interestingly enough, they somehow stuck a freakin Novi supercharger in there. http://www.oblivionperformance.com/oblivion_2.jpg |

Thanks, Bill. Checked it out and will watch the thread.
I'm skeptical you can mount a turbocharger so far away from the engine and then get 5psi at the throttle body. BUT 4 Guys Garage is doing a show on it Dec 30th (for the LS1 chevys, anyway) If it works, it's VERY cool. Longevity etc I wonder about. I would hate to drop 4 grand worth of parts on the highway. And the air intake being behind the rear wheels doesn't thrill me at all. Water infiltration seems like a huge issue. Less on a truck though. The real beauty of this though (IF it works well) is not having to find space in an already cramped engine compartment.

There is a turbo for a Pacifica. It a has the same engine at the 300m.
So search for a turbo charger for a 300m and you will find it. It is a 3.5L engine that is no different the the regular 3.5L engine. |
