Yes it can and will fit with very little work. I have just dropped in a 98 GTP powertrain into my 01 Aztek GT making it a Aztek GTP. This is the first I have seen anywhere and I have been researching this for six months now. Alot of talk and theories so I performed the swap myself to prove it can be done. Some mods are required like throttle linkage, using GTP Power Steering cooler, and changing the brake reservoir to clear the throttle cable, which mounts to use and other small considerations are required . It will all bolt in, use a complete donor car as it saves trying to find the right parts. I have repinned the PCM to make it work and now am finishing the rest of the wiring. They DO NOT have a direct wiring swap, and this is the major part of the work. The 3800Sc is alot tighter of a fit but with using the correct stock parts (no aftermarket) it will fit nicely but snug.
It should so long as both vehicles are each Supercharged 3800's or non-supercharged 3800's and make sure the Grand Prix has a 3.8L (3800 V6) and not a 3.1L V6 (3100)
Yes, a 1995 Buick Riviera supercharged 3800 engine can generally be replaced with a 1996 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi supercharged 3800 engine, as both engines are part of the GM 3800 series and share many components. However, it's crucial to consider compatibility of engine management systems, wiring harnesses, and other components, as there may be differences between the two model years. Additionally, modifications may be necessary for a proper fit and function, so thorough research and planning are essential before proceeding with the swap.
the GTP model has the supercharged engine in it
Yes, a 1996 Pontiac Bonneville supercharged 3800 engine can be swapped into a 2001 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi, as both engines belong to the same family and share similar mounting points and components. However, there may be differences in engine management systems, wiring harnesses, and other peripherals that could require modifications for a successful installation. It's essential to ensure compatibility with the transmission and other systems, and to consider any necessary adjustments to the ECU for optimal performance.
It is best to fit a suitable supercharger to extend its working life
203 The 3800 Series II engine is rated at 205 H.P. The 3800 Series II Supercharged engine is rated at 240 H.P.
It's in your owners manual
Theoretically, you could put the supercharger setup from a factory supercharged 3800 series 2 engine but it would be a lot of work and you would have to do a lot with wiring. The Buick Park Avenue, Pontiac Bonneville SSEI and the Olds 88 LSS will have that engine.
All 1997-and-up GTP's come from the factory with a 3800 supercharged engine. For 1997-2003 it was the 3800 Series II, and 2004-and-up it is the 3800 Series III.
To install a 3800 supercharged engine in a Pontiac Fiero, you'll need to start by preparing the Fiero's engine bay and ensuring the engine mounts are compatible. You'll typically use an adapter plate to fit the engine, along with custom mounts. It's important to modify the wiring harness and install a compatible transmission, usually from a 4T65E or similar, to handle the power. Finally, you'll need to address cooling, exhaust, and fuel system upgrades to support the supercharged engine's performance.
This question references General Motors built FWD vehicles with the 3800 Series supercharged engines. Sensors included the O2s in the exhaust manifold and the downstream of the catalytic converter pipe. knock sensors in the block, and the manifold absolute pressure sensors in the intake manifold.
In my opinion, it isn't worth purchasing a car that has 189,000 miles. I would avoid buying a sporty vehicle like a supercharged 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP 3800 as a first car.
