Milzy doesnt make anything for the 3500 or 3900 iv talked to them in the past about it and they said in a few years they will have something and need test cars.
Also $5000 for a turbo kit is rediculous. I could do a remote turbo setup for about $900 that will perform just as good as that kit.

Plus that kit is based off the 3.4 which is completely different than the 3.5or3.9 lz4,lz9,lze

Now if i had a lx5 or lx9 (cant remember) 3500 3.5l like the early g6 that motor was based off of the 3.4 and 3.8.

Which that motor is an option cause you can also bolt the 3800 supercharger to that 3.5 with an adapter plate, run the bigger northstar throttle body, bigger injectors and all the supporting mods and make big horsepower safely.

Also tony i dont think these li/ui manifold gaskets have coolant channels in them like the old 3.4/3.8 motors did but i could be wrong.

Thanks for the help so far guys keep it comin

A GM Press Release for the 2004 Malibu described the 3500 thus: "3.5-liter V-6, will debut in the 2004 Chevrolet Malibu. The engine offers improved performance and fuel efficiency, and runs smoother and quieter than earlier generation V-6 engines. The 3500 V-6 features an advanced powertrain control module, improved fuel injection system, a redesigned exhaust manifold and a new catalytic converter contribute to reduced emissions, as well as improved efficiency and performance characteristics. Improvements in cooling, sealing and the accessory drive system add to the engine's overall quality, reliability and durability." Power output ranges from 196 hp (146 kW) to 201 hp (150 kW), torque ranges from 213 lb·ft (289 N·m) to 221 lb·ft (300 N·m).

Horsepower rating changed for the 2007 model year to 224 hp (167 kW) at 5800 rpm and 220 lb·ft (298 N·m) torque at 4000 rpm. The Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6, and Saturn Aura became equipped with this engine for 2007 (previously the Malibu and G6 had the non-VVT 201 hp (150 kW) 3.5 L LX9). In 2008 SAE ratings dropped the horsepower ratings to 219, keeping torque as is. On Pontiac G6 convertible models, horsepower was rated at 217. Applications: 2006–2009 Chevrolet Impala 2006–2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 2007–2010 Chevrolet Malibu/Chevrolet Malibu Maxx 2007–2009 Saturn Aura 2007–2009 Pontiac G6 2008–2009 Saturn Vue XE AWD (222 hp/220 lb-ft) Note: GM often refers to this engine in its literature as a "3.5L V6 with Variable Valve Timing".

I have talked to Milzy zzp wbody store and the guys on 60degreev6/wot tech.

Parts for the lx5 3500 will not work in the lz 3500 trust me i have done months of research on it

You cant even weld different flanges on any headers that are made for 3100,3400,3800 because the spacing on the exhaust ports are diffrrent. It would be cheaper and easier to make or have made for you custom headers

k3: you know your engines

 

[Ejbiers]

Update forgot about the old 100k mile warranty.

I gotta get my factory ecm/tcm back in and my factory intake back in and bring it to the dealership

As i have read there is a service bulletin on the head gaskets on the 2006-07 impala 3.5l. I have a 2008 but oh well let them deal with it when i bring it in.

 

[kingnutin]

Good call.

The 3.5 and the 3.9L engines in our cars have an external coolant crossover pipe, that is located on the serpentine belt side of the engine, that the coolant flows threw instead of threw the intake like the old 3.4 and 3.8L engines did.

Good info thank you for the confirmation bart.

I should have it at the dealership soon. Ill let you guys know the outcome.

I priced out the parts and for the gasket kit to do the headgaskets and all the other gaskets plus head studs and what not about $400.

Dont know what direction im gonna go in yet if they dont cover it

i guess i will take your rims + wheels for half price of what you paid for them :gaah:... so you starting to part out the car already ? I might take the headlights as well for half price :devil:.

Ur now starting to freak out .. i just bought my car only like 2 months back.. now i am :dunno: if i should sell it while its still working :yikes:

 

[Ejbiers]

Im gettin rid of the car in the spring thats for sure but i ment motor swap or turbo or just fix it.

I feel defeated by this car as of now. I have always turned my cars into high hp monsters and this one i havvent done anything to make big power. But now that i wanna get a gto modding this car to sell it a few months later would be a huge money loss but its a hobby of mine not a business so who knows.

If you still are interested in the spring i will be parting out the car and putting it mostly back to stock.
All parts will go relatively cheap to all my fellow forum brothers

 

[Ejbiers]

And im not gonna gonna comment on the getting rid of your car part since everytime i do and back it up with real life experiences i get hammered cause its a impala forum

 

[1impalavision1]

i say keep your car.. its like a trademark.

 

[kingnutin]

Some of these guys are a little sensetive about their 8th gens, I completely understand where you're coming from.

 

[Ejbiers]

Id love to keep the car as a project and mod it up but i already have

1998 lincoln mark8 pushin over 400hp black on black
And my impala

So i cant justify buying another car to keep at my dads house and barely drive it.

Id like to have a 500rwhp gto or g8 gxp or 300 srt8 to daily drive here in jersey.

Plus this car is just nothing but problems and isnt worth it.

Good reasoning go with what gives you the best outcomek3:
your car your decision

 

[Ejbiers]

Maybe i expected to much since this was my first new car but my old 92 toyota supra was a year older than me ran over 30 psi of boost and had alot alot alot less problems than this car does and i beat the piss out of that car.

Same goes for my small block swapped 1986 cj7 jeep, 87 grand national, 86 monte carlo, 87 irocz camaro
I mean the list goes on iv had a ton of cars and never experienced the problems with them that i did this one.

shut the hell up amigo... i want those rims for half the price :devil:, will need the lugs as well :biggrin:

btw Ejbiers if you think leaving car at your dads place is a problem, just drive up to canada here... and ur welcome to leave it at my place.. got 2 car garage... i cannot promise if it will remain in same shape you park it in :idea:

Get 300 SRT dude.. the 300's cabin is so freaking quite.. do not get the older ones get 2011 onwards... my next ride will probably be either dodge charger AWD, or 300 AWD if not srt. k3: unless imps. start making awd by then..:dunno:
