as long as the air to fuel ratio hasn't changed...too lean is bad...too rich is bad...
I doubt it would hurt too much...

AnswerThe GTP can be run without the supercharger. The supercharger only runs when you get into boost. It does not effect the operation of the motor. You just will have extremely low performance due to not running it.Wiki User

Have1997 buick has belt off supercharger and is it driveable?
I have a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix and the two Serpinetine belts broke. I put a belt on without putting on the second supercharger belt on and I am driving it now until I get the other belt. If you look at the routing of the belt all of the normal systems run without the second belt.

Will the 3800 engine run without the supercharger belt?
Yes it will I had a tensioner pulley give out on mine that had to be replaced due to having an incorrect belt, and incorrect routing. I ran for over a week while I waited for the proper belt, and replacement pulley to get to me. The Supercharger does indeed make a difference in power, but if you have to run without it you'll be ok. I wouldn't bypass the supercharger on purpose because it may even decrease your gas mileage, but again the car will run without it if need be. 11/11/07 -After 10 years of ownership, and 30 minutes of running my GTP without the supercharger belt, I believe it will continue to run successfully at a greater level naturally aspirated. I will report the results as they come...

Is every engine fit with turbocharger?
No. There are two types of charger to give the engine more air than it would be able to suck in naturally; a Supercharger and a Turbocharger. The supercharger is an electrically (usually) driven fan that compresses the air. A turbocharger does the same job, but it is driven by the flow of exhaust gases through a small turbine. Thus the turbocharger has a small lag time, for it depends upon engine speed for its performance. Whereas a supercharger is independent of the engine operation. Of course, many motors manage quite well without either accessory.
