Why does a 1998 Pontiac grand prix gtp hesitate when supercharger engages?
I'm having the same problem, would like to find answer to this
What is the difference between a 1999 Pontiac grand prix gt and a Pontiac grand prix gtp?
Very simply, the GT has a 3.8L v6, and the GTP has the exact same 3.8L with a supercharger on it that adds about 40 HP.
Will a supercharger from a grand prix work on a v6 camaro?
Yes and no. The motors are similar, but not the same. The non supercharged engine wont hold up for very long with a supercharger. Internally it will start to tear itself apart. Outside they are the same, but inside they have different pistons, heads, intake and whatnot. Your best bet would be to just do a full engine swap.
Are sbc 350 pistons and sbc 400 pistons the same?
No. Standard 350 engines have 4.00" pistons, standard 400 pistons are 4.125".
Can you have a supercharger and twin turbos in the same time?
yes but if i were u i would not do it at the same time because more than likely it will blow but yes u can have twins and a supercharger in the same car
Are 350 pistons the same as 305 pistons?
No, 350 has a substantially larger bore.
Is a 1997-2000 Pontiac grand prix gtp 3.8 sc engine the same engine block as the non supercharged engine and are they compatible?
Yes, they are. The 3.8 and 3.8 sc are virtually the same engine, with the supercharger being the main difference. No they are difrent! bolt patern same that's it
Can 350 pistons be mixed with 305?
the pistons are the same diameter. no they are not the same diameter, the bore on a 305 is smaller than a 350
Can a turbocharger and supercharger be used at the same time?
Yes. If the engine is built to handle enough boost. Volkswagen makes a production car with a twincharger (supercharger and turbocharger). The supercharger helps cancel out the turbo lag at low rpms
You have lost your supercharger belt for your grand prix gtp 1997 que question is should you just replace the belt or do you need to replace the supercharger if you decide not to replace or fix the be?
You don't have to replace the supercharger you will just have no performence power and bad gas milage, but you will not harm the supercharger. Same thing happen to me, year later I replaced my supercharger belt and supercharger was fine.....dont wait get it fixed dont hurt the GTP!!!!!
Has anyone ever supercharged a 1993 Buick Riviera?
The 1993 Riviera has a olds 3.8L in it, you would be able to swap the supercharger and related components from a Park Ave Ultra, or Pontiac Bonneville for example. The engine computers are the same part across those vehicles, wiring harness may be challenging; but whereas this vehicle was not offered w/ supercharger from factory, a challenge could be expected.
How often does the supercharger oil in a 1998 Pontiac grand prix gtp have to be changed and is it harmful to the supercharger if it has not been changed for a long time?
Usually you should plan on changing your supercharger oil once a year or every 20-30,000 miles. And yes it can be harmful to the supercharger to not change the oil in it, just as not changing the oil in the engine would be not to change it. Folks the oil cooling the superchargers I am aware of is the same oil from the same reservoir as in the engine. So when you change oil in the engine you are changing oil in the Supercharger as well. If this is not the case, someone please tell me as well. The oil in the supercharger is not the same as engine oil. Do not use regular engine oil in the supercharger on the GTP, it requires special oil. It is not connected to the same resevoir, it is totally separate. The last comment informing that the Supercharger oil is entirely different and not connected to the engine oil completely correct. Regarding charing the supercharger oil, the owner's manual states the following: "Unless you are technically qualified and have the proper tools, you should let your dealer or a qualified service center perform this maintanence." The owners manual then goes on to state that the oil in the supercharger should be every 30,000 miles or 36 months - whichever is sooner. To check your oil on the supercharger, do the following: 1. Make sure your engine is cold - i.e. at least 2-3 hrs after running. 2. Clean the area around the fill plug on the supercharger so no debris or impurities get in the system. 3. Remove the oil fill plug w/ a 3/16" allen/hex wrench. 4. The oil level is correct when it just reaches the bottom threads on the inspection hole. 5. Repleace the oil plug w/ the O-ring in place. 6. Torque to 88lb-in. The type of oil for the supercharger is Supercharger Oil GM Part No. 12345982. -gz1
