Supercharge a 3800?
 
Is it possible to supercharge a 3800? Possobly off of a buick 3800, or mabe one out of a a gran prix?

Sorry but it won't work. Many have tried it but no one has been sucessful(sp).
The intake on the supercharger is at the back of the unit and it fits all the way up to the back of the cowl so there's no room left at all.

You can't use the L67 Supercharger on F-Bodies. The intake for the supercharger would be against the firewall.

However there are regular centrifugal supercharger kits out there. Expect around $4k for em.


-edit: PC beat me to it. :p

Its possible to supercharge, but I dont think with the ones you listed... reasons above.

yea you run into problems when trying to take parts from a grand prix even though it has the same basic engine the fact that its front wheel drive changes some things, the arrangement of the engine in a fwd is different with stuff like the intake manifold

You can supercharge the V6 engine in the fbodys...just buy the kit for it. Someone has a procharger kit and her best et is 12.1

it can be done, but the dash has to be rebuilt, and cut a hole in the firewall, too much work for too little gain

2000v6cam 04-27-2006 02:28 PM

yea i would go with a turbo kit if i was going to do that instead of cutting everything to get a supercharger to work

You guys ever heard of RSMracing.com they sell supercharger kits. It is one of the only places that I know of that actually market a 3.4L kit. I wonder if they are trustworthy.
