grand prix supercharger on a firebird?
O.K. so just wondering if it is possible to take a supercharger from a grand prix gtp and put it on my 3.8L firebird.... would be nice to see if anybody knows before i make a leap of faith...

In the Oct 2002 issue of High Performance Pontiac, a reader wrote in asking a similiar question. Since your car is already equiped with a 3.8, (unlike the reader), you will need a 140 deg. elbow fabricated that will face the throttle body forward instead of to the side as is on the GTP. The ECU will also have to be reprogramed. But this is probably just scratching the surface of what may be needed. Another route you may want to explore is perhapse a turbo kit similiar to a GN that may work a little easier.

I have seen pics of a roots blower mounted correclty on a RWD L36 but it spun off a gear driven driveshaft of sorts that spunt the nose mounted pulley at the back ofthe engine bay.
Get a CSC and mount it up with the proper bracket or a fabbed bracket and it will make more boost anyhow. Single turbo would be easier actually, and make more boost yet.
