I have a 1999 supercharged GTP its a 3800 does anyone know if the 3800 engine only for Pontiac that isn't supercharged would last longer than one that is if so roughly how many miles?
It is best to fit a suitable supercharger to extend its working life
Im puting an LS1 supercharger on your 98 3800 V6 camaro and you wanted to know what you have to change in the engine so that your car can handle the power?
2001-2002 LS-1 Vortech 5.7 v-9 sq g is the engine that the Supercharger System was made for. yes it is too much for a 3800 v-6 to handle. The f body 5.7l will improve to 470 horsepower and 462 ft/lbs of torque with ram air models and 448 horsepower and 449 ft/lbs of torque can be attained on non-ram air engines
Would a 95 Pontiac bonnville 3800 motor fit in a 2000 Pontiac gran prix?
Yes, as long as it is a 3800 Series II V6. Not a Series I. A Series II will say Series II on the engine cover. If it is a Series one it would fit because it is the same size, but I do not know if it will work with the Grand Prix's ECU and transaxle.
Is a turbo charger or supercharger better for diesel engines?
Most diesel engines are turbo charged, not a lot of diesels are supercharged. A turbo diesels engine will also have a intercooler which will give it added HP. - - - - - The only supercharged diesels I know of are two-stroke Detroit Diesels like the Series 53, the Series 71 (aka the Yachtsman's Friend) and the Series 92. Unlike a four-stroke diesel, a two-stroke diesel can't breathe on its own. They all have blowers - now you know where the nickname came from - to force air into the cylinder while it's at bottom dead center. The supercharger can only do so much for you; if you want to increase your engine's power, you bolt a turbocharger to the air intake on the supercharger. Some DDs are made only in turbo models, like the 6V92. The 71 Series was made with or without turbos, so check the model number: 6-71 is a vanilla engine, 6-71T has a turbo, 6-71TI has intercooling and I can't find out what the "B" stands for, sorry.
How you know when you supercharger is gone bad?
The most common and normal signs will be: * Oil leakage from the supercharger * Supercharger making a knocking noise * Lower or no boost pressure * Oil not present inside the supercharger
Do you need to tilt the engine to remove and replace starter on 1993 Oldsmobile silhouette 3800 series?

Does a 2000 Chevy impala ls have a turbo or supercharger on it?

Can you put a supercharger on a 1987 Nissan Pathfinder?
Hi there. You know what's funny is I typed in the EXACT same question- year and all. Kudos for wanting to get the most out of your pathy! They're the most underrated vehicle I've ever seen. Here's what I know... I know that most engines, unless built with a stock turbo or supercharger have cast pistons- which are really only intended for the type of pressure they encounter they are exposed to under stock conditions. Engines with superchargers usually have forged or hypereutectic pistons- which are more durable and made to stand up to the added demand created by a turbo/super charger. Does this mean that you can't do it??? I don't know. The Nissan VG30I engines have proven to be really tough when you take good care of them. Here's a website that might really help: nissanpathfinders.com. Good luck!

If you remove the supercharger belt on a 3.8l GTP are you going to have poorer gas mileage I know you will lose power?

How can you obtain the song Everything Everything by the group Low Light Supercharger?
I know you can get it on iTunes.
My 1998 Pontiac Grandprix GTP has a ticking clicking noise coming from the supercharger at idle and when you turn the vehicle off the supercharger makes a grinding noise and dont know what it is?
Could be the bearings/pulley. until you fix the issue you should remove the charger belt, so it doesn't get worse (blow the supercharger).
