New guy here. I have a 3.8 supercharged engine out of a 2002 Grand Prix GTP. It's in a Brunton SuperStalker, a 1500 lb. Lotus Superseven clone. Joined up here to learn what I can about the engine.

That is AWESOME man, and Welcome to the site. I have to ask this, Can we see more pics PLEASE and maybe some info on how you did it.
08-01-2010
Thanks! I wish I could say I did it myself, but I bought it built. It is a Brunton Superstalker. They make them as kits or turn key. Fast machines. My wife and I run it in a lot of Solo events, I stick on some fat sticky tires for that. It is street legal too. A great time. The car is so light and the engine has so much torque that at autocrosses I usually launch in second, get into third as soon as I can and drive it like an automatic. Here's some pictures:

Here's an in-car video taking my nephew for a fun-run at an autocross.

welcome, sweet ride! What kind of engine work is done?
08-01-2010
welcome that is awesome i bet that is so fun to drive

Sweet I smell a very fast ride

It is basically stock, only a modest computer tune. It's hard to use all the power as it is. I don't really need any more out of it. But then, is enough really ever enough?
everything is pretty accessible and I would like to do any work on it myself if I can. I can't access the sub forum for this engine? Maybe because I just signed up? Right now the only issue is a small leak on the oil pan gasket which will be an easy fix.

yeah, some parts of the forum are acting up right now. In the meantime, you can see a guideline of sorts for most of the guys on here in the "general tech discussion" section, thread is called "Safely Modding your 3800." That should give you some ideas.

A pulley drop and rockers would make that run VERY nicely.
It'd help it to keep pulling after 4-5K where they typically die off.

Thanks. It has a Borg Warner T5 out of a Camero. The front spindles, front and rear brakes and rear axle are out of an S10 pickup. It is a pile of American parts stuck together.
This is a link to a spec page that lists most of what it's built from. http://www.bruntonauto.com/Specs/SSpecs.htm

very cool. Like matt said, some rockers would help give you a little more top end. And is it just me, or does the steering look like it could be tightened up some?

T5 will die if you like burnouts haha.

imagine that thing with XPZ cam, intercooler and a 2.55 pulley with all the other goodies.
