[number1alero]

check out the alero upgrades section that has a link on the main page...theres lots of information there that will be specific for your car, all the way from simple bolt ons to major engine mods...all depends on how deep your pockets are

[Orion]

The Alero Upgrades page has not worked right in over a year lol what u talking about

[projectalero]

you should try pfyc.com its got some stuff there. If thats not enough try doctorspeed.com....They mainly have intake systems and exhaust, but they have a few other things.

2 years of searching and you never found this site? I think I had my car a day when I found this site. Just searching for Alero in google this site pops up 5 sites from the top, PFYC.com shows up 9 from the top. You must not have been looking to hard for stuff. Not trying to criticize or anything, just saying. well there is pfyc.com, rsmracing.com, mantapart.com, and a whole others you can check out that I can't think of right now. Oh and welcome to the site :thumb:

[MixtapeMessiah]

dude two years is rediculous, the day I bought my alero I found this website, and found tons of stuff. try www.truckperformance.com and search for grand am cuz they normally dont have squat for aleros, www.andysautosport.com

and I agree that that damn upgrades page doesnt work rite for the longest time but it gives u basic knowledge of whats out there.

[streetracin1820]

thanks everyone for your response i greatly appreciate it, im looking at parts and will keep everyone posted on when i start modifing. now for my next question if i were to buy parts for a 3.4 liter grand am and install them on my 3.4 alero would they install with no problem or will it take mods

[MixtapeMessiah]

grand am 3.4 and alero 3.4 are the same engine

bwhahahahahahaha

[Redog]

Don't forget RSM racing.com

Anything Grand Am will work on Alero, except programing and transmission.

GA's have a different tranny

[BlackJack]

ok, when it comes to performance engine parts, the following are just some of the vehicles that have the same engine:

Olds Alero
Pontiac Grand Am
Chevy Malibu (has the 3100, but the same engine mods fit)
Pontiac Aztek (bastardized SUV)
Chevy Venture
Chevy Impala (standard sedan only, not the LS or SS)
Chevy Equinox
Chevy Lumina (some models)
(possibly) Saturn Vue

Just to name a few.

[streetracin1820]

Once again thank you everyone for your help i can now go and do what ive wanted to do for 2 years turn my car into a full blow show and race car. ill keep you guys updated and take care :yahoo:

[MixtapeMessiah]

haha hope u have deep pockets.

[Redog]

^^ What he said

Took me 5 years of work to shave off 2 seconds in the 1/4 mile

[BlackJack]

heh, bring me about 5 grand, and I can shave about 4 seconds off stock 1/4 mile time in about 12 hours. Bring 9 grand and in 36 hours I can shave about 6 second off :)

[Redog]

Turbo will do that :)

[O1gagt]

60degreev6.com

Dedicated to 60degreev6 performance. They also have a store that sells good performance parts on the site, ranging from ported heads to billet throttle bodies, ect.

I'll bring the 9 k check tommorow, and a $400 tip

expect the check to bounce tho, but go ahead and do the work anyways?

MUHAHAHA

[car audio dave]

not only will the grand am engine parts work but the suspension parts and exhaust will too.

so for two years you search for parts. now you have the knowledge to make it into a race AND show car? people have been here for years and have really deep pockets, and still cant make them into race AND show cars.

[Redog]

True, I went the race route, but I make sure everything looks good.

You can do some "sight" type upgrades, I have a few. If your planing on doing a heavy system and modding the motor and expect 13's in the 1/4 is ain't going to happen. Alero in the 13's is about 8 grand.

I like plain looking cars that are fast, or faster than people think. In a word "sleeper!"

equinox, vue, and the other pontiac SUV, all have the revised Chinese version 3400, slight differences and slight similarities.

[Cliff8928]

The Vue doesn't have the 3400. It has a Honda 3.5 SOHC V6.
