It's going to pwn an evo as far as price goes.
This is a mid sized sedan with the European thought. I don't think it is a "rally" car . SO completely different types of cars. I can promise with some mods a few people will be taking on evo's
The Syclone & Typhoons are still running the same transaxle and gearbox , some of them with over 1000 HP ..
Pretty sure the GS will stick it to the ground pretty good under high load .

I'm surprised people still talk about the Syclone and Typhoon. It seemed like many had forgotten them. My uncle's got one in his shed collecting dust along with a Buick GN with 20 miles, plastic on the seats, bumper foam, and dealer stickers still on it. (Thinking about making him an offer. :P )

Actually I don't think it would be as big of disappointment as some of you may think. Even if they use a dinky Mitsubishi turbo (flanged MItsubishi), do you guys realize how many friggin different turbocharger application are made today with Mitsubishi flanges. I would have taken a small flanged Mitsubishi turbo on our LNF any day over our 1 off B&W turbo application. The bolt on applications would ahve been endless.

More LNF's more turbo kits more research more parts from all around the globe , The purpose of the Mitsubishi "world" engine is to be just that and if GM wants to be competitive they are going to follow in these foot steps making the LNF similar to what Mitsu has done, putting the LNF in all kinds of cars.
You are going to see a lot of 400WHP+ Lnf's here real soon IMO.
Adding the LNF to the Buick really encourages all sorts of vendors especially HPT to recognize the LNF as a platform that is here to stay.and continue R&D ...

The only Xtreme I know of is the S10. Are you referring to a truck/SUV duo like the Syclone and Typhone, but maybe the S10 and the D.... Denali? Was it just a concept or something?

You have to understand th ve ecotec is a young engine family , it is not built off the 30 year old platform Mitsubishi has stuck to since 1980. With time and the current rate of more and more LNF's being put into cars not only in America but in countries like Japan and China creates an even broader range for after market support.

Yeah butwhat turbo do you know that is big enough you wouldn't have to get an entire new manifold anyway do to clearance issues at least with the balt we don't have a whole lot of room behind the engine so placement is the issue.

The GM Techlink article about the new Buick mentioned that its engine will utilize a variable vane/nozzle turbo. So it would not shock me at all to hear a different turbocharger was being used, whomever the OEM happened to be.
SO the next thing that comes to mind is.... will a Cobalt SS T/C motor swap into a Regal GS? or will the AWD drivetrain swap onto a Cobalt SS? Im interested.
It would probably be more cost effective to swap the motor into the regal though.

They do but I don't see this going on a stock production car. If anything I see this in a regal GS as a more restrictive turbo.
I think GM has learned even the K04 is too much on the LNF with stock everything so they may just slap a smaller snail in it to discourage people like us from turning the boost up. I think the Td04 would produce 260/260 almost fully maxed out. No room for turning the boost up ... They do use these in a few SAAB models . But again thats SAAB not Chevy... I doubt Chevy would want anything with the name Mitsubishi on it ..

I am all for different car companies using the same parts. It makes everything cheaper for the consumer and broadens the aftermarket.
Just like the Chrysler, Mitz and Hyundai World Engine.

does anyone remember what stock turbo they use to use on the 03-05 Dodge SRT-4's? I think it was Mistubishi, but I'm very unsure, since I used to have one.
nm found it Mitsubishi TD04 Turbocharger http://www.allpar.com/neon/neon-srt-4.html that TD04 would die if it dare to go past 19psi. Makes me appreciate the stock turbo more. Here is a link to turbonetics to explain it cleary about turbos. Its helped me out a little http://www.turboneticsinc.com/choose_turbocharger
