Thread: 98 gtp supercharger into 97 gt natural asprirated

sure, but you'll blow the trans becuase its a 4l60e and vacuum controlled and very weak.

its called a top swap and involves tons more parts than just the blower.

its not worth the work and headache to swap the motors and trannys.

just get a gtp to begin with.

use. the. search. button.

have any of you actually supercharged a 97, or are you just going off of what you heard from another member?

lol i meant the work for the engine swap.. not the picture.. i got that part now..

and i didnt really buy the gt.. it was passed from my dad to my mom and she sold it to me.. ive been driving it and fell in love with gps.. ill end up buying a gtp soon enough.

just going off facts.

the motor itself can be topswapped, but your dealing with a year only pcm and year only vacuum trans that can hardly handle the stock 195 crank hp that the motor puts out.

not going to get into any arguments or anything, but ive HEARD completly different. ive heard the 4t60e and 65e are identical. the only differece is the 65e uses (i think) pressure soleniod or something, to shift instead of the vaccume. some series 1 3800s were supercharged and put out over 225hp to the crank, using the 4t60e.

pfft the series ones were HORIBBLE. there is no way in hell even at the crank they made 225. and they are not the same. its been done over and over...with the same result. click click boom. the buy a gtp idea is fantastic. do that

or do a l32 swap and get a tep trans than say to hell with everything that is of course after lots and lots of research

and monies

did you even look it up before saying im lying? here i did it for ya.....on a couple sites
1995 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi Sedan 3.8L V6 Supercharger 4-speed Automatic Features and Specs

this one made 205 N/A 1995 Pontiac Bonneville SE Sedan Specifications - InternetAutoGuide.com

So says the interwebz...have you ever seen one strapped to a dyno? How about the guy that did anything and everything to build it and only made like 240 ponies....sometimes wiki lies

those were all factory numbers. so your saying our cars dont make the factory 195hp. every site says 195hp at the crank. damn liers lol.

Umm who's car makes 195 crank? Not mine sir, not when new either. Your right it would be crazy that gm or ford or anyone over or under rate there cars....that's never happened anywhere ever

Fact proven...4T60's break under 3100/NA 3800 power VERY easily...

Fact proven...Reason why they only stuck them in the WBody 97+ for one year...ala '97.

They are junk.

Through and through.

No need to link websites with information we already know about. Hell, the 4T65E-HD can barely take the abuse of a stock supercharged car...how do you expect a transmission with half the threshold to withstand that kind of power being put through it...it's just one of those things...we all know...just like the '97 SE/GT 3800's being the bastard children of the 97-03 style...

So, to the OP...easy way about your question would be to get a '98-'02 wiring harness/PCM/engine/transmission...and toss it all in at once. Or, like stated...limp your car up to the local dealership and trade it in on a GTP.

To black '97 GT...when you top swap your '97 GT with the vacuum powered transmission...and it poops its guts out everywhere, don't say I didn't tell you so.
