Is it possible to add power to a 3100? Seems like an oxymoron in itself :lol:

http://www.wot-tech.com sells alot of good 60* parts. Best thing you can do is a 3400 top swap, cam, rockers, porting etc.

Actually a 3500 top swap, cam, headers, and the other usual tricks is about the best thing you can do to a 3100/3400. Those engines respond VERY well to turbocharging as well.

I refuse to swap out for a 3800 and will never get boost. I am doing a 3500 top swap next year though. Just wasnt sure what else was out there.

Oh yeah forgot about the 3500 top swap... I think the cam will do the most for ya. And dont forget the simple things, exhaust, FWI, better breathing/grounding system etc.

the bore is to small on a 3100 to use 3500 heads though.

Yet, the heads on a 3400 and 3100 are the same. The 3400 bore is 3mm larger than the 3100...that's the difference. IIRC, the 3500 shares the 3400 bore.

yes but the 3500 cumbustion chamber is bigger and if you put it on a 3100 the bore will be in the chamber.

the best for a 3100 is to get 2000+ heads with a 3500 upper and lower

Ah, OK. I didn't know about that bit. I had thought they were at least close enough. In that case, yeah, you'd be correct.

I can only imagine. Sorry for bad info to the OP.

I've kicked around the idea of a 3100 with a cam, head work, and a 3500 top end. Preferably with a turbo. If I remember right, one guy makes over 300HP NATURALLY ASPIRATED.

Well, I certainly wouldn't pull the 3800 for a 3100/3400/3500. However, if it was just a 3100, I would find a cheap 3500 to work over.

Heads, cam, rockers, springs, 3500 top swap, headers, turbo, pcm. All things considered, you could spend less money on an L67 swap with a turbo, pcm, cam, rockers, etc. and make A LOT more horsepower.

There is Milzymotorsports.com for parts and 60degreeV6.com for information.

Keep in mind that 2000+ 3100s have the same top end as the 3400. I think the only difference after 2000 was displacement.

So since i have an 03 this would mean that my upper intake manifold is equal to the 3400 uim?

Right, so the only thing you can do to get more power out of the upper intake is to do a 3500 top swap. Somehow I doubt it would be worth much.

but no heads ;-) the 3500 UIM actualy flows less stock but can be ported out more then the 3x00 UIM. the 3500 LIM flows better the a 3x00 though.



and stock 3500 heads flow just as well as fully ported 3800 heads ;-) and can not be used on a 3100 just the 3400 and 3500. the 3100 has to small of bore

I have decied on a 3500 top swap for 09. From my understanding all i need is a 3500 lim and 3500 heads, I can use my current uim.

if you have a 3100 you can not use the 3500 heads the combustion chamber is bigger then the cylander bore

[font=Century Gothic]Not true. I just checked, because I was curious. The part number for the heads (bare) is the same, which I anticipated. But, the standard sized valves from a LG8 3100 V6 and a LA1 3400 are the same GM part number. So, from the factory, they are identical.[/font]
