The Mazdaspeed 6 is heavy, yes, but it throws around its weight quite capably. Compared to the MS3, it's comfier and won't break your back every time you hit a bump. It was a touring car produced for only two years.

The 1997-1999 Chevrolet Lumina LTZ. In 1997, it was available with either the 3100 V6 or the 3.4L DOHC V6 (though only 7 3.4L cars have been confirmed to have been built). In 1998, the 3.4L option was replaced by the 3.8L 3800 series 2 V6, and in 1999 the 3.8L became standard.
Should you get a 3.8L 98 or 99 model, you can top swap it to supercharge it easily. It's the same basic V6 as the Buick Regal in OP's video

This thing. The first generation Skoda Superb. These have massive sleeper potential, and here's why:
It's a B5 VW Passat with its wheelbase stretched by about 10cm (~4"). The B5 VW Passat just so happens to be one of the few generations of Passat that's very closely related to its up-market cousin, the Audi A4. Where most Passats share a lot of characteristics with the Golf (transverse engine, Haldex AWD option, McPherson suspension) the B5 uses Audi's longitudinal engine layout, multilink front suspension, and proper full-time Torsen AWD. It also borrows its rear suspension (and front seat mounting points, for some bizarre reason) from the A6.
And so does the Skoda.

This means you can basically stuff the entire drivetrain from an S4 or RS4 (a twin turbo 2.7l V6 and a 6-speed manual transmission) into a fucking Skoda.
Or the A6/A8's 4.2l V8.
In a fucking Skoda.

Its my winter beater so beyond simple handling mods/repairs i dont have any long term plans for it. If it treats we well this season ill keep it long term, but that depends on if i can nail down this mystery electrical problem.

Only mods done to it currently are a sick shift knawb and a straight pipe. New exedy clutch is going in come spring time.

There's a guy in my town with a boosted 90's Ford Ranger. Not sure if he did an engine swap or what, just saw him do a crazy burnout and could hear the turbo.
I've got a 260bhp miata, but it looks pretty rice so not that much of a sleeper.

>There's a guy in my town with a boosted 90's Ford Ranger. Not sure if he did an engine swap or what, just saw him do a crazy burnout and could hear the turbo.
the 2.3 and 2.5L 4 cylinder engines are in the same engine family as the 2.3L Turbos from the Ford Mustang SVO and the Ford Thunderbird Turbo. So it's entirely plausibly he just turbocharged the stock 4 cylinder in the Ranger.

1st gem m45.

Most people have no clue what it is around my area, there are barely any on the road. It looks like a simple 4 door sedan (i like the look).

No one would suspect it's got 340hp and near equal torque with a 0-60 of around 5.7 sec.

It's pretty hilarious when you blow the doors off a racerboy in this thing.

It absolutely dropped back in. Stock mounts, stock transmission, '97 Monte Carlo PCM, minor wiring mods, and many other GM Legos later, it's a lot quicker than it was before.

>>16367617
Complete LX9 swap with an LG8 upper for fooling the smog testers.

>>16367614

Next step is to throw a torsen diff, 3.55 gears & a good exhaust into it.

I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do.

>>16367618
That is cool. I wish I had a 3500 A-body shaggin' wagon

>>16367625
I could nerd you off this board explaining the whole thing, but the key aspect is this is a 1996. The things I did to make it work will probably only work in a '96. Less than 8000 Century wagons were made in '96.

That's not to say it can't be done in earlier cars. I just don't have any experience.

>>16367628
It could theoretically be done with 94-95 cars as well. 94-95 cars use OBD1.5 but OBD2 conversions, at least on the W-body scene, are pretty commonplace, so it's all laid out to convert those to OBD2.

I have a stupid question

would there be anyway to mess around with a 1993 lumina with the 3.1 engine? i kinda want to do a summer project this year.

my current idea is a 3.4 or 3.8 swap, but i'd like to hear some ideas.

>>16367612
> Now throw boost at it.
Later. Much later. HD transmission first. The 4T60E is the weakest link. I will probably end up doing an NA build though. Nothing mad, like 200 hp to the wheels.

Subaru legacy b-4 wagons. looks like a typical grocery getter that your outdoorsy neighbor might drive. But oh no, 280 hp twin sequential turbos along with awd. Oh boy. This one was only 5000$ canadian.

>>16367634
3400 swap is doable. It's even possible to run it on the stock computer, afaik. Great upgrade path.

3800 is possible as well, but is more involved. Depends on how comfortable you are with wiring.

>>16367634
>would there be anyway to mess around with a 1993 lumina with the 3.1 engine?
yes. You could gain a good amount of power swapping to 3400 heads and intake manifolds (use the 3400 headgaskets). Bolts right on and it should give you close to 200 HP... IF and only IF you have an ECU chip burnt for the changes.
These guys will do custom chips IIRC.

Why swap the engine when the 3.1 is a perfectly fine building block?

Both being rwd, 300C can be had with the 5.7 L V8 with 375 hp/395 lb-ft and 0-60 mph in 5.0 seconds while the SRT8 version came with the Apache 6.4 L V8 making 475 hp/470 lb-ft and 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds.

Only downside is they are automatic only and Chrysler discontinued the 300 SRT version for God knows why....yet they still sell it in the middle east.

60degreev6.com is pretty much the only site that focuses on modifying the 3.1 and 3.4 engines. If you're set on one of those, go there.

>>16367666
GM FWD V6 cars are almost all related (with the exception of the 3.8L 3800) so it can be a bit like playing with legos with the 2.8/3.1/3.4 DOHC/3100/3400/3500/3900

>The site is exclusive to GM 60* V6 engines like yours.
Yeah, as long as it's a W- or N-body or a Fiero. They were absolutely no help during my Century swap. Something Awful was more helpful than those elitists.

>>16367688
His Lumina is a W-body, and your A-body is similar enough to a W-body.

>>16367693
The only assistance I got, and granted it helped secure my Monte Carlo PCM, was a wiring diagram of the Century and MC PCMs so I could have the MC PCM repinned for my stock harness. No other suggestions, tips, tricks, or cautionary tales were offered.

>>16367706
because no one else has experience with swapping an A-body.

>>16367711
I suppose you are correct...

holy shit someone admitting they're wrong on the internet

>>16367731
so question. instead of swapping to a 4T65eHD transmission, why not switch to a Getrag F23 5 speed manual from a 2000-2002 2200 J-body Sunfire/Cavalier? granted you would need custom transmission mounts, but the F23 has proven nearly bulletproof in both the J-body and Delta car communities. You have a 97 MC PCM so you can use HPTuners to eliminate all data pertaining to the automatic transmission.

>>16367780
Manual swapping an A-body takes a lot more work than, say, a Cavalier. Custom axles, custom mounts, modified pedal box from another car, modified shifter from another car, modified shifter cable from another car, trying to find a non-shifter A-body steering column... Much more effort than I'm willing to put in to make my overall driving experience worse. An automatic is much easier for city driving in Las Vegas.
(inb4 le epic auto vs manual meme)

>>16367810
fair enough. I never looked into the A-body, but I know that variant of the F23 bolts right up to the 60* V6's and is common for 3800 swaps into Fieros.

>>16367814
yeah, the transmission bolts on no problem. it's just everything else that gets in the way.

>>16367780
and for the record, I have Milzy Motorsports on the hook to rebuild my stock transmission into a 4T60E-HD. Not 65. Only mod is a passenger side axle (because of the different differential) and he will supply that. Should hold up to city driving, occasional drag racing, hauling eight people, towing another of my broke down hoopdies, etc., just fine.

That's the best freaking part, no one has any damn clue what took them out & once it's debadged no way to figure it out.

Only thing anyone ever made for the 1mz is a supercharger that grenades the engine after 4lbs of boost. And you can't even use it with VVTI versions of the engine. Worst aftermarket literally ever. That being said, it's one of the best 3.0 v6's stock that I know of. Gas mileage and power are better than the competition.

These can be, with a bit of work. In the the 2.7 Syncro guise, they essentially have the same drivetrain as the B5 RS4, sans the turbos, so you can rig up a 400-500 horsepower Passat estate.

To make it look super nice would be polishing a turd

>>16380953
The 2.8 is similar to the 2.7TT, but it's missing a few key features such as 4 bolt mains and oil squirters.

Mounting points are identical though, and heads actually flow better than stock A6/Allroad/S4 2.7TT heads.

To be honest, I'll have to take your word for it, I've never been that much into VAGs (phrasing boom). My impression is that it's possible to throw turbos on the stock VW block with reasonably good results, which is what I find attractive about it.

>>16381074
Yeah, I've done some research on the subject and while the turbo stuff will bolt straight on, you'll run into issues a lot sooner than with an actual 2.7TT.

Also see >>16366514, a first gen Skoda Superb is an even more hilarious sleeper candidate in my opinion. Nobody expects to get their doors blown off by a Skoda.

>Skoda sleepers
Oh, so you want Skoda-based trolling?
Well, allow the Danish police to assist you, seeing as they run 3.6 FSI Superbs specifically to catch speed offenders. So not only are you getting a ticket, you're getting it from a talking mustache that chased you down in a Skoda.
A Superb estate with that engine wouldn't be half bad.....
The Octavia VRS is probably done as a sleeper at this point, though. Too many people know what it is.

>>16381129
Yup, always liked these. Same drivetrain as the Passat R36 (but slightly detuned to 250hp) so it's literally a tune away from 300+ hp.

>>16381129
according to auto news and rumors, Skoda is preparing for a US market launch. What should we Americans, who have never even heard of Skoda, expect? And yes I know it's basically a VW.

>>16381163
>And yes I know it's basically a VW.
Bigger, cheaper, cheaper VWs that don't use all the latest, unproven tech but stick to more proven and simpler stuff instead. Makes them ever so slightly more reliable.

>>16381177
evidently, there will be 3 launch models in America if the US patent office submissions are anything to go by. Looks like we'll get the Yeti, Octavia, and whatever Skoda is based on the Golf. I can't remember the name right now.

>>16381230
>whatever Skoda is based on the Golf
That's the Octavia. I'd be surprised if you didn't get the Superb (their Passat-based flagship) as well.

>>16381238
I thought the Octavia was based on the Passat?

>>16381238
and they haven't launched yet. Just rumors based on findings from the US patent office for now.

This. Large, comfy, good value for money. This seems to be Burger territory.

Kind of. The current Octavia is based on the modular MQB platform, which underpins both the Passat and the Golf.

Speaking of Regals, my goal is to buy a G-Body regal and drop either a 350 or 455 in it.

I think this qualifies. Even more so if you have a wagon. Near 500hp stock supercharged v8

Yeah nah, if it ran 12s in the quarter then I'd say yes

>>16372891
it might be more than 2 grand to get to 500hp and you will destroy your transmission if you do hard pull and get wheel skip/hop.

You can get to 300 or 260 with exhaust and a tune depending on the turbo it has.

Even stock though the 9000 aero is quite a little rocket in the mid range.

The Taurus SHOs were nice, But with Fords Crappy transmissions and 90s Electronics, alot of them aren't worth the trouble.

My dad has a 99 SHO that's on it's 3rd transmission, and a 93 SHO that he got for $500 that is falling apart.

>>16390352
That 93 won't give him anywhere near the issues he's been having with the 99

>>16390418

This is true. The Gen 3's were full of issues. Mostly transmission and cam problems. He bought a reman transmission for it, still shifting hard from 1st to 2nd, so he has to see about a warranty claim. The previous transmission was rebuilt, started shifting hard from 1st to 2nd, eventually lost drive completely... The tranny that came in the car when he bought it shifted perfectly in forward gears, but had no reverse...

>>16390433
If he spent money and time on the 93 it would be better for everyone and have him sell that shitty 99, if the 93 gets fixed up it will be worth more

>>16390433
>>16390470
why can't you swap the 99 to a 5 speed using a 89-95 transmission?

Go with the Cressy, you can slap a 2JZ-GTE into it and smoke whoever dares to challenge you.

The 240 doesn't have that kind of easy swap potential (that I'm aware of), aside from the turbo engines, but you'll get way more potential out of even a 1JZ than a redblock.

>>16393723

Volvo 240 Turbos might of been sleepers a decade or two ago but not now

>>16394103
Engine bay is big enough for a Ford 350 or something - so I understand

>>16394124
Yeah, I know there's plenty of room in the 240's engine bay, but that doesn't mean you'll have an easy time installing a V8 or fitting whatever gearbox/transmission goes along with it.

The Cressy will use whatever you can get from the standard Toyota parts bin, so there will be a lot less hassle involved, which is good if this is your first build.

Personally I prefer the looks of it over the 240, too.

>>16394139
The great thing about the LS engines is they fit in fucking everything. And the Volvo and GM transmissions mount in a similar fashion.

How are the 4WD Mitsubishi verandas and magmas for a sleeper

>>16394326
They're solid cars, but the AWD doesn't come in manual (as far as I know) and the V6 is pretty much the same as in the FWD versions.

You might be able to shoehorn in a twin turbo DOHC V6 from one of the Legnums, though.

obligatory GM rival.

This is sort of what I meant by civic. I guess I meant outside of Honda.

There are a number of shitboxes with macpherson struts up front and double wishbones out back. The last gen Toyota Celica, 2001+ Honda Civics, Scion tC and Scion FR-S immediately spring to mind.

Yup, its a ford aspire with a SHO engine dropped in the back. Yours for only 2000 bucks.

I know, hence why I ruled them out.

Aren't modern V6 sedans considered sleepers? Nobody expects a family sedan to be quick off the line.

>Chevy Impala
>base trim 3.6L V6, 305 HP, 6.0 seconds 0-60, 14.8 sec @ 97 mph

>Toyota Avalon
>3.5L V6, 268 HP, 6.1 seconds 0-60, 14.5 sec @ 98 mph

>Honda Accord
>3.5L V6, 278 HP, 5.8 seconds 0-60, 14.4 sec @ 99 mph

A Buick Roadmaster with the LT1, or Regal GS with the L67 gets approximately the same 0-60 times, and slightly slower quarter-mile times.

How much improvement will you really get by swapping cams/headers (LT1) or using a smaller pulley (L67)?

Why wouldn't they be? 300C and Charger are the same car.

jelly as fuck even if I don't like the rear end at all, much prefer the pre-2003 mercury ass

I never noticed just how aesthetic 850 wagons are.

>that belt line that flows right up to the corner of the headlight

>>16394560

>put turbos under the hood without changing the stock exhaust manifold
>all exhaust gas gets vented
>no power

It's like you don't even want those tasty exhaust gasses to get passed through your turbo or something, senpai.

I owned a 99 Z34 (NA), a 95 Z34 (L67), and a 2000 SS (turbo)

nobody expected the 99 to be quick, people were shocked the 95 could hit 13's, my wife shit herself when I roasted an audi S7 on the highway

02 6Speed VQ35DE that I bought for $600
makes for a fun beater since I can still pick on SN95's & S197's while commuting to work & school.

>>16399307
depends on the seller and miles, i've seen people in the city selling them for ~7k because they need the money. Theyre out there

>>16367614
that's a nissan gloria right? or a cedric? idk i always get em confused; see a few round here

>>16402963
It's an Infiniti M45, which was a rebadged Gloria.

>>16402963
and unlike the Gloria, the M45 got a 4.5L V8 as the only engine choice

Any modern 6 banger econobox is a sleeper by most standards. Hell any modern 1/2 ton truck is too.

>>16403607
That LS V8 in the background? Nothing else is assembled.

>>16403644
Yes, the LS, the other motor is a Miata motor
