    Okay so I have a 2000 Grand prix gt that has been converted over to a gtp. My only problem is I keep blowing motors. I'm just blew up the third motor yesterday and I'm running out of resources fast. The only thing I have done the same to each motor is the supercharger. Could there be something wrong with the supercharger that is blowing the motors up? It's running stock pulley and each motor has blown up under boost. I'm out of ideas here. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks In advance.

    So all 3 motors spun rod bearings? What are the odds of that? What oil were you running, and a dumb question maybe but was it always in the safe range? And was the temp always in a normal range?

    I was running 10w-30 oil. It was in the right range. And the motor was at normal operating temp. For all three motors

    did you get the pcm tuned? or did you switch the pcm? or just wired it up and make it run?

    As asked previously do you have any way to scan the car? Does the oil smell normal?
