can you put a supercharger on a basic 3.8 engine? well on my grand prix.
10-14-2008
You sure can.....it's called a top swap. Use the search feature and you'll find all sorts of info on that subject. OR You could go turbo!!
10-14-2008
Yep and its been done... alot. Why not go turbo, the sky's the limit when it comes to power.
10-14-2008
yea i couldnt find the treads with the top swaps. eh i kinda just want a supercharger.
10-14-2008
In my opinion a S/C is the better pick!!Originally Posted by grandpaul
10-14-2008
The s/c is truly power on demand...no spooling like a turbo.
10-14-2008
so can you guys post a link on here how to do it? plz...
10-14-2008
I don't have a link but it's not as simple as just putting a S/C on the car. You have to rebuild it from the heads up IIRC.

damn i didnt know it would be that hard. i could have traded my step dad my se for his gtp. seriously whats the difference between a gt and an se? besides a gt having deul exhaust.

3.4L engine (SE) 3.8L engine (GT & GTP). Plus, it's a lot easier to find mods for the 3.8. And, the 3.8L was rated one of the top 10 engines of the 20th century.

My 97 SE came with the 3800, though it was dropped from the base mode a few years later. The SE was quicker than the GT, as it weighed a lot less since it didn't have all the fun features, body package and extra muffler.
10-15-2008
it can be done deff. i thought about super charging my GT but your looing anywhere around 500 bucks for a new supercharger... and theres alot of other **** that needs done too, its not as simple as bolting a s/c on and wrapping a pully on it but OH yeah go for it. my opinion tho is a turbo would be cooler not sure on pricing on that tho never looked into it.
10-15-2008
if youre good at sourcing parts, you can do this entire swap with a couple supporting mods for less than $1000.
10-15-2008
Yeah but SE are ugly! but really all you need is the lip package and boom its a single muffler gt lol
