no one has a turbo'd riv.. besides some dude in Florida i believe but its a tube chassis drag car thats fiberglass and uses an earlier model 3.8 with a turbo or 2.. theres vids all over youtube of it. that doesn't count though

I am surprised no one has pushed it to this point yet.

I had plans! but I learned that making the power in the 3800 platform was quite silly...

Just sold my regal tonight for some mad Profit though.. I have a soft spot for 3800's... I always will Now to find a car to flip with 5K bucks..

Check out this build. What do you guys think about the intake port on the side of the headlight like this? I think it's SWEET. Not sure it could be pulled off on the Riv though.

my question is how much minimum should i be looking to spend....because one does not simply make a plan with out some sort of budget awareness...

$15k
$5k for the Riv
$5k for parts

Do this:

WELL CAN YOU POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BECAUSE I DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START LOOKING

Here's a good place to start

What's your budget and what do you think your goals are? What's the full current condition of your car?

Looks like a good build, but intake is tacky. Here's a case where simpler isn't better. FWI does the same thing and isn't visible.

Yum, wonder how it feels

THAT'S how you do it. Stock engine, mostly stock exhaust, 1.9 rockers, then twincharge it to run 12s. I like his style. Complex instsllation, simple idea.

I had a similar idea with my riviera, but because it seems so complex I kinda just let it go lol

I wish I had more time. That's the ultimate power mod.

You don't see this configuration very often. There's a lot of debate on whether or not the turbo intake should run into the blower or if it should integrate into the intake manifold after the blower.

Some say the supercharger becomes a restriction others say it does not. Some people say the dual set up is completely inefficient (because of heat output) compared to either just a blower or just a turbo. But then you see people who actually do it and they get great results.

I think it really comes down to how you transition between the supercharger and turbo in making boost. From what I've read, you want a smooth transition. instead of the supercharger disengaging and then then turbo starting to spool. You want the spool to start right when the supercharger is peaking and then transition over.

From what i've seen, everyone whos done this to the 3800 runs the turbo right through the blower with no problem.

Can't wait to see the first twincharged Riv!
