Ok if some of you guys remember right before the site went "down" the main topic in our V6 board was superchargers for our cars I believe. I emailed a site a LONG time ago and asked him if he made a supercharge for the RSs. And they said that there was a supercharger in the works...So I dont know if there is one or not. But as far as I have heard I havent seen one. So I was wondering if any of you guys know something I dont. Like maybe THERE IS ONE!?

 

my 2.8 was s/c'd before she got the boot...

How did do it? Who did you go to? Ive been looking alot and no one seems to be able or willing to do it. And would your kit work on my 3.1L?

 

Yeah Grame's, how well did it work?? I noticed that your signiature says the car is sold...I'm as curious as anyone to see how well it works.

Did you buy the RS with the TPI already swapped onto it, or did you do it yourself?

Hey Graeme, I think enough people are interested, and your email isn't available, so please fill us in on the details here... My biggest personal curiosity is the fuel delivery. New pump, injectors, MAF, what? Or did they just slap the Vortech on there and it took off?

Now: rusting on a side street til I get out of college

Plans: BUILT 3.4 motor with B&M racing tranny, Hotchkis suspension all around, lowering 1", Accel ignition all around, Splitfire plugs, 88 front bumper, ASCD Ram Air I hood, 91 GTA spoiler, formula wheels, Firehawk tires, restored interior (first on list)

 

Vortech Blower, Vortech Fuel Management, New Fuel Pump and braided lines, all new intake, Maf recalibrated, thats it...more/less straight forward he said..it only took 2 days for him to do, 3k for MOST...the thing that cost more was the powdercoating and fuel management

Did he do anything to beef up the cylinders or crank? Also, what boost were you running, esp if it was on stock cylinders? I'd like to leave the bottom end alone on the 3.4, but if I could get a s/c running on it and a 50 hp shot of nitrous without rebuilding the bottom, that would be perfect. I'm planning on using a powerdyne SC. Was there a retard system, or just a permanent set degree of retard? So many questions...

6 psi...if i wanted to run more id need a bottom end rebuilt with some newer more "high tech" parts... the 3.4 can handle the s/c running 6psi and a 50 shot..i have a name of a guy whos gonna turbo his 3.4 camaro with a 150 shot...
