Really like this build. I can’t wait for you to post more about the progress. Even the tune and gains.

[@nascam38]

Appreciate it brother

[@Suarez4272]

Bro I just decided to turbo my Camaro! Perfect timing! Thank you!

[@alialgazali2884]

Bro me too how’s that going

[@gavinryan-oi8zo]

I'm building the LFX 3.6 V6 engine for a fwd application (the 3.6 has been in fwd cars for a while) with a 6spd manual transmission. Actually putting it in a cruze, someone has done it before but not like a fully built engine pushing over 350. Machine shop has engine.

Pretty nice man. I have a 2012 cts coupe with a LFX I just boosted too did a front mount similar to yours just different routing. I ended up losing one a/c line also going to have a custom one order you can get online btw. I’m still tuning on 5psi ebay gt45 but man it rips. I can’t wait to see yours finished, what boost & numbers are you trying to hit initially? Stock fuel system?

[@nascam38]

That’s good to hear honestly, I’m glad other LFXs out there are ripping 💪. I also just want 5psi for right now, going on a road trip so I want to be careful. But after, I’ll want to go 10 psi, upgrade fuel pump and injectors and so on. As of right now, yea stock fuel system.

[@slowLFX]

@@nascam38 I just added e85 but other than that it’s stock fuel system. Best of luck man. It’s totally worth the work & time required. Very good looking build!

Thanks 💪, new videos coming soon, and new products for the V6

[@rartis95]

Thanks for the vid. Are you still able to use regular fuel with this or do you have to use premium gas?

[@nascam38]

it is a very bad idea to run regular fuel Forced Induction. You want to run premium, or go how I went. E85, more power, cheaper than pump gas and less chance of your motor blowing up.

[@chunisios357]

I got a 2014 Camaro v6 and I been wanting to turbo it Buh never could find one

[@nascam38]

I was in the same boat, that’s why I put this video out when I figured out how to do this. A more detailed video will come out soon, so stay on the look out for that.

I think there is a supercharger or something of that nature now I’ve seen for the LFX.

[@gittyupalice96]

the supercharger by itself cost the same as an LS3 V8... Thats the problem with the LFX, you can get about 380hp out of it for less than $500, BUT anywhere north of 400hp is going to cost more than an LS3, rendering it pointless. Its a great engine, just would have to want it just to want it.

[@josephcarson6099]

roughly how much would you say it cost you to mod the turbo on it?

[@nascam38]

In total it was around 6k, could be a little less if you don't buy the vacuum pump for the AC lines, you can take to a shop to do it for free. And if you don't buy a new power steering pump with the pulley and the tools.

[@josephcarson6099]

@@nascam38 Alright thank you, i can do the labor for free so that should save some money

[@Panther_RS]

So I got a 2017 (LGX) I been thinking about turboing it you think it’s similar setup? I wanna do rear mounted setup thou.

[@nascam38]

You talking about a different engine and a different turbo setup, I can’t help you with that

[@Panther_RS]

@@nascam38 they are very similar motors tbh

[@FredricksonZak]

Lgx has a way better timing set-up.

[@cecmousecoolguy]

AC?

[@louispeek2546]

Headers????

[@philipjones36966]

How much Hp can Lfx handle.

[@nascam38]

The block hasn't been tested at its limits but I've heard LFXs hitting 700s and 800s. You would need to upgrade the pistons at around 500 though
