possible?
 

so i'm trying to take the supercharger of off an 01 gtp and strap it onto my 01 fbird with the 3.8 and i was wondering if anybody knows if it's possible and if it is what if any problems would i run into and how hard would it be to get it to pass in california with actual emission's numbers

RE: possible?
 

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE A 2001 GRAND PRIX GT AND WANTIONG TO PUT A 2002 BONNIVILLE SSEI SUPERCHARGER ON MY GRANDPRIX LET ME KNOW IF I CAN THANKS

RE: possible?
 

its the same problem- the internals wont hold up, and the SC would need an adaptor plate to fit the V6 in the Fbird

DON'T DO IT!!!....grand prix gtp guy is right. first off you would have to get a lower intake manifold, and yeah it might fit, and even start if your lucky, but the engines are VERY different. The computer controls are set on different parameters for idle air control, mass air flow, O2 sensors, and even if you did get it to start and idle, you are of course going to rev it up or put it under at least normal driving conditions, the engine WILL NOT HOLD!!.. the normally aspirated engine has a higher naturaly aspirated compression ratio, vs. the supercharged one which the compression is lower naturally, then raised with the supercharger, forcing more air in. so the supercharger with the normaly aspriated engine setup WILL NOT HOLD. the heads are different, the head BOLTS are different, they will blow the heads CLEAN OFF if the main crank bearings and rod bearings would even hold, plus you would be waisting your time considering the heads are different, with smaller intake and exhaust valves, and smaller cam lobes as well as the lift duration of the camshaft. I WOULDN'T EVEN TRY. . .
