Well there is not really much you can do with a 3.1, so what I would do is keep it looking clean until you can move up to a 97-03 GTP.
07-22-2010
would it be possible to transfer a 3.8 from a bonneville of the same year?
07-24-2010
You wouldn't need do that I'd say, there are plenty of alternative things out there that increase performance for the 3.1, keep it simple don't let it overheat, change the oil on schedule, then look for performance options specific to the 60 degree V6 3100..

Turbo it ...
07-24-2010
You cannot convert to the 3.8 because it is a 60 degree V6, unless you want to do a lot cutting and re-engineering, not worth the expense...
The above post will do it however!!

it's been done. i've seen one in a beretta, but you're right, a lot of parts are custon made.Originally Posted by geeoh480
for the same price, i agree with the turbo kit

Couldn't he also put in a 3400? Might have a better part market for it.
07-25-2010
there is a web site for 3100 performance parts,once i remember where i found it i will post it,this place has aluminum heads,superchargers and so on
07-25-2010
yeah, i believe that would be an easier swap, and zzp and milzy do some good stuff with 3400's. really just depends on how much he wants to spend

ive been thinking about the same thing.
im not sure (i havent checked into it) if it would work but ive thought about taking an ecu and a supercharger from a gtp the same year/body style

09-19-2012

09-19-2012
not at all.
09-19-2012
couldn't google this crap before you posted about it?
09-19-2012
This is the kinda stuff that makes him^ a sad panda.

Buy 2 for extra power.
09-19-2012
i did look it up and some people say it works some say it doesnt..and to put two on wouldnt i have to have2 intakes?

Um since when cant you put a 3.8 in a first gen w-body? Swap sub frame take pcm, splice wiring harness and call it a day.
