How do you determine the amount of boost and power you get from swapping supercharger pulleys on a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP?

First of all, I just hope you upgraded the intake the exhaust and the transmission because if not than say ADIOS to your engine and trany especialy. But anyway you can find out by how much boost your putting out ether you purchase a little computer and software for it and hook it up to your lap top(that is if you know as what you are doing) or go the easy way and put the car on the dyno and that will tell you absolutely everything about your car and the specs. You do not need to upgrade the transmission if you only swapped to a 3.4, which would be the first recommended lower size supercharger pulley. But you do need to at the very least have some exhaust mods (especially a U-bend delete), a CAI, and it helps to run a colder t-stat, and a more dialed in PCM, such as a DHP. To determine your boost you can hook up a powertuner (generally around $400) or have it dyno'd. You will get approximately 10 HP per .1 drop in pulley diameter and yes if you dont have supporting mods you will damage your engine if you go too far. Check out the following webiste for a thorough discussion on pulley size and suporting mods. http://www.clubgp.com/newforum/tm.asp?m=2867792&p=1&tmode=1&smode=1 Hope this helps. "G"

What would cause a supercharger to over boost?
A supercharger is controlled by its pulley size. The smaller the supercharger drive pulley is, the higher in boost pressure you will see. Now if you go with a larger crank pulley, this too will cause you to see more boost. So, in all honestly, the only way to really over boost your supercharger is when you mess around with the pulleys.
A manual on belts and pulleys for Briggs and strattons model 287707?
I am not sure what this engine is on. But, typically the tool or machine that the engine is on is what will determine the belts and pulleys, not the engine.
Can you fit a supercharger on a ford probe 1995 2.5 v6?
yes of course,but it takes some work!you need a eaton m90 supercharger,fuel pump,biger injectors,blow off valve,intercooler if you run more then 7 psi boost,pulleys.....but you can do it with little bit of work!
What does a smaller supercharger pulley do to a cars engine?
The smaller pulley spins the supercharger faster, thus creating greater boost and therefore more horsepower. Popular "sizes" are 15%, 17% and 19% reduction. The larger percentage reduction gives a greater boost. Some mechanics do not recommend the higher percentage pulleys.
What would cause a whisting noise when idle but stop on acceleration in a 1994 Pontiac grand am?
possibly on of the belt pulleys or a vaccum leak
Can you put a supercharger to a 1600cc VW Beetle engine?
Theoretically any combustion engine can be fitted with a supercharger, but don't expect it to be an easy, bolt-on job. Carb, intake manifolds and drive pulleys would have to be heavily modified. If it's an EFI engine you won't have the carb to worry about, but would instead have to have the engine control remapped.
What are the parts of a supercharger?
This all really depends on the car it is going on and how much boost you are seeking to produce. The most common parts are: * Supercharger Head Unit * Supercharger manifold or bracket * pulleys * belt * FMU or Fuel Injectors * By Pass Valve * Fuel Pump or Boost a Pump * Boost retard box, ECU reflash, or hand held programmer Here is also a link that explains it more: www.superchargersonline.com/content.asp?ID=85
How do you put on a superchager on a Honda Civic?
This is a very complex process and would require at least 10 hours to install. You need a complete supercharger kit that supplies the necessary belts and pulleys. An example of this would be the Jackson Racing Supercharger Kit. It's probably the easiest kit out there. check out this link: http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1283655
How can you supercharge your 97 riviera?
Many problems include, different pulleys, intake, supercharger, belts. Possible computer problems. It think the wiring harnesses are pretty much the same, accept the super charger does have a vacuum solenoid.
What are idler pulleys?
== == it is a free pulley that works as a tensioner on any belt bolted to hold or spring loaded An idler pulley usually tensions a belt.. eg supercharger belt is kept taut by its respective idler pulley
Where is the water pump located on a 1992 Pontiac Sunbird?
Look at the belt on the engine, then look at the pulleys. The water pump is behind the pulley without any groves in the pulley.
