Why is it that we can see great animations like this online. But when you spend $250.00 for the shop manual they are filled with drawings done by a 3rd graders.
Cam driven oil separator is nice for the dirty side on the PCV, this would make a nice retrofit part for older LY7 engines that suffered from poor PCV/CCV flow
This engine should mean one and only one thing first: a new Buick Grand National. The original is a cult classic that constantly beats book value with market value. Build it!!! And only in a coupe!!! Add better intake, water-to-air intercooler, reprogrammed ECM, and high-flow exhaust for 500hp +
Awsome.. This engine is the same as whats in the Holden Commodore here in Australia but with out the turbos. Hopefully there new models will be fitted with this engine
I got the 83 Jeep the last year they made the CJ5 which is the very short wheelbase. After that they deemed it dangerous because the wheelbase was so short mine had a 4-cylinder quite gutless. I'd love to put this B6 in there with the turbo to keep the front end light and then endless power for climbing Hills and mud bogs. The 4-cylinder will pull a damn house on solid concrete because of the gearing but damn when you get into mud or climbing a Dusty Gravely ill you need more power than a 4-cylinder can deliver.
Updated timing chains over its predecessor 3.6 DI VVT engine & 1,000 mi oil change intervals gm? The last thing u want is cooked turbo oil in something this expensive. Alot of crap has to come off to even fix that should either of the 2 issues above occurs:)
Motor do omega e capitiva 3.6 v6 única diferença e o dois turbos. Agora veja com a nossa tecnologia de hoje temos um motor desse bi-turbo com o nível de consumo e torque pra lá de abundante em todas as rotações.
That new 4.3 is going to be a nifty engine. Possibly lighter than an LS3. I've calculated it to be capable of 470hp with a cam, but that requires tampering with the direct injection system... which I haven't gotten my hands on yet.
The turbo is attached to the headers. My question to GM or to whom ever made this video can you install this twin turbo setup in the 2008 Chevy Malibu ltz? If not would the Cadiz motor and trans work in the 08 Chevy Malibu ltz?
this set up as shown wouldn't work in the older malibu with a 3.6, as those use traditional exhaust manifolds, not to mention the fueling/tuning/transmission upgrades that are needed to support a turbo. as for the swap, i would say realistically no, as most caddys are set up with a longitudinal mount engine and the malibus are transverse mount. the routing of a lot of things are completely different between the two. that said, anything is possible with enough money and fabrication.
Does anyone have any idea if GM might be offering a kit to convert the existing 3.6L's to a twin turbo setup? I have a 2012 Impala I'd love to do this to.
Better engine than the LS series??? HUH.. The LS series motors are one of the best things out there, I'm confused on this statement. I'm excited about this twin turbo option (factory), vs turbo charging a LS motor. Also having the turbo's on the side, should mean fairly easy ways of going bigger and better "Garrett, ball bearing, BIG"..
@@HooksBill They are maybe in 0-60 time, which they should, electric has an all out advantage. But for getting shit done? Towing, etc? Yeah no a good V8 still takes a dump on an electric.
I don't understand why GM mounts the oil filter sideways like that. When I do my oil changes, I like to fill the filter before screwing it on so the oil immediately begins circulation upon startup. But try that on a sideways oil filter, the oil will just spill out while your screwing it on. Then at startup, the engine runs dry. I consider the angle of the oil filter a design flaw.
Crazy! Is it rare at all that the use the exhaust ports in the head as the header for the turbos? I know the flathead v8 had the shared center port through the block but this is like an evolution of that concept thanks to ohv.. Doing this seems ingenious for a production car, the shortest length between exhaust valve and turbine will remove turbo lag. However seems it could be a bottleneck if someone went after big power. Not to mention all that heat in the cylinder head.
To be perfectly honest, I've never heard of this kind of set up. There's a video explaining how they did it here on youtube. It was kinda cool. But i've never heard of this kind of thing outside of shared exhaust ports on some of the really old flathead engines.
now if they could just make the timing chains last longer than 30,000 miles... get your head out of your ass gm!!! I knew these were gonna be trouble the first time I laid eyes on one.
That's funny, I've been a mechanic at GM for over 20 years.. I've only seen one of these motors needing this, and that was because of a factory malfunction. If your comment was true there would be a massive recall..
I have been servicing their vehicles for atleast 11 years and that is news to me as well. Some people just like to spew nonsense. What is not nonsense is the crappy cam gears in the Coyote engines. I have seen 3.6L(LLT & LFX) in many impalas LTZs with 80-150k miles on them.
89escalade 77k miles and still going strong on my 2016 colorado. Things a workhorse. Change the oil and rotate the tires every 4 thousand miles and it runs like a top. Good ole chevy. I owned a 01 silverado with the 6.0 before this truck and had 684k miles on her. Other than the regular maintenance of things, the only thing that went bad was reverse went out at 590k miles and the ABS sensors got fuckered up 3 times. Reverse got fixed in 2 days and was back on the road on Monday ready for work.
3.6L and 2.4L engines are the worst design from 2007 to 2015. This engine has Oil distribution issues and timing change issues. From experience having to work on one and replacing it causing the same issue even following the modification needed for the Oil flow.
All engines have there problems and if you do regular Maintenance and don’t beat the shit out of it it’ll last forever I have one that’s a non-turbo from a 2013 Chevy impala and that shit lasted 230,000 miles and it was deep on before I got it I got it at 170k
The chain is fine it’s the plastic guide that wears out and costs all the problems that everybody’s bitching about I have one of these cars it never had to change anything related to the timing chain it’s sitting at 230,000 right now
I HAVE CADILLAC CTS 2006 I WISH THAT GM AND CADILLAC CAN FIX THE TIMING CHAIN PROPLEM THE ENGINE IS VERY GOOD BUT THE PROPLEM WITH THE TIMING CHAIN I HOPE THAT CADILLAC CHEIF ENGINEER CAN FIX THIS PROPLEM MOHAMED FROM JERUSALEM
+Oscar Juarez headers would increase the distance that the turbos would be from the engine, that would increase the turbo lag. the beauty of not needing headers is that the turbos bolt directly to the power plant making turbo lag practically a non issue.
+Ardail Smith im telling u that i have a 2014 v6 camaro.. And it does not have turbo... And with that single exit for the combustion gases its imposible put it on headers that i want for a better sound
+Oscar Juarez Now I understand your concerns. I have a 2012 V6, you and I have the same engine. The 2012 - 2015 V6 Camaros have the GM LFX engine that has a built in exhaust manifold. By removing the need for a separate exhaust manifold GM was able to make the 2012 - 2015 LFX's lighter at 345 lb compared to the 2010 - 2011 LLT at 361 lb. It also allowed the V6 to go from 304HP in the LLT to 323HP in the LFX. The engine in this animation is not the LFX without turbos. It is the LF3, very similar to the LFX. But with other modifications to support the turbos. If you really want headers you can drop your 2014 and get the 2010 or 2011 V6 you could look into a LLT swap on your 2014 or you can go up to a V8 if adding long pipes is what you want. I prefer the additional HP and less weight of the LFX and if I want to bump the sound up I could do that with a catback and CAI, and that would even raise my HP.
I know what you are saying; it's just incorrect. The engine they so going together is a TWIN TURBO as shown by the 2 different turbo's they mount with one on each side. Are you not watching the video to the full assembly section????
I got the LLT 3.6 V6. I updated the PCV and now everything is OK. 75 k miles. I always changing the engine oil with 5w30 full synth oil at 8000 miles. Normally I check the oil level once a week or once in a month.
