Re: 3800 supercharger on 3.1

yes it will fit with little to no custom engineering and will add a conservative 200hp.

Re: 3800 supercharger on 3.1

Ummm, it will not fit, directly, completely custom.

I'm not sure if Kingsobieski is not paying attention or just trying to be a dick, but the 3800 and the 3.1 are very different engine families.

Do a search in this forum for similar posts and you will see some ideas of using a 3800 SC on a 2.8/3.1.

Re: 3800 supercharger on 3.1

Six shooters right, there would be alot of custom fab to make it work. And it will most definitly not add a easy 200Hp.

Re: 3800 supercharger on 3.1

bl85c is selling a complete bolt on turbo kit. Search the v6 forum for 'turbo kit' you should find it. Probably your shortest cheapest way to get there from here.
