Depends on the type of supercharger and your mechanical skills...
A centrifugal superchargers (procharger, Paxton, vortech) is a lot of easy (for a backyard mechanic)work, removing/relocating, trimming minor parts. They are easier than screw or positive displacement superchargers (Whipple, kenne bell, magnuson) which usually requires replacing the intake manifold. You can check the links below and read the installation instructions and see if you would be up to it.
SHOs dont have 3.8 motors. Gen 1-2 SHOs had either a 3.0 or a 3.2 Gen 3 SHOs had a 3.4 Check out www.shoforum.com They will be able to answer ALL your questions
you can't disable it. the only way not to spin the supercharger is take the belt off the supercharger. there are 2 belts on these engines. the one that drives the supercharger does not run anything else. to remove you need to get a 15 mm soclet and rachet and place it on the bolt of the tensioner. take the tension off and remove the belt. only advantage would be you wouldn't be making boost so not as much fuel is added. disadvantage would be that a Honda civic would beat you.

If you mean engine performance, then it has 240 hp and 280 lbs of torque
Nowhere yet. TRD has not officially released it yet. Once it is released you will be able to buy from any Toyota Dealer.
Can a supercharger work on a 97 ford probe
First you have to find a supercharger designed for your specific application. You take the old intake manifold off and install the supercharger. While somehow finding a belt that connects from the supercharger to the camshaft. Then reprogram the computer that controls the engine for the additional airflow.
A turbocharger would be more practical and easier to install.
Both a Turbo and a Supercharger are relatively easy to install on the Chargers.
yes and no you cannot install a positive displacement supercharge but you can install centrifugal supercharger
To install a supercharger in a Nissan 350Z, first gather the necessary tools and a supercharger kit specifically designed for the 350Z. Begin by disconnecting the battery and removing the intake manifold to access the engine components. Follow the kit's instructions to mount the supercharger, connect the necessary piping, and install the fuel management system to accommodate the increased power. Finally, ensure all connections are secure, reassemble the engine components, and reconnect the battery before tuning the engine for optimal performance.
Yes, but with today technology, it would be a waste of money(not needed/expensive.)
To install a supercharger on a stock Series II 3800 engine, start by gathering the necessary components, including the supercharger kit, mounting brackets, intake manifold, and any required gaskets. Remove the existing intake manifold and components to access the engine block. Follow the kit instructions to mount the supercharger, ensuring proper alignment and securing all connections. Finally, reassemble the intake system, check for any leaks, and tune the engine for optimal performance.
yes, but it would be a complete waste of money to do both
i cant answer how to install it, but i do konw that it wont handle much for psi. spend your money on forged bottom end such as crank, connecting rods, and pistons. sorry i cant actually tell you how to install it. i do know a supercharger is better, well i think. a turbo has lag and is much harder to install rather than a supercharger where everything is instant and its a do it yourself thing you can also change the boost by adding a smaller pulley on a supercharger. if you want to make power simply cam your motor, a 470 or 480 intake cam would be big enough. you will need new valve springs new lifters (recomend a double roller chain) and maye a stall depending if its an automatic tranny
Yes, you can install a supercharger on a non-supercharged 3800 engine, but it requires significant modifications. You'll need a compatible supercharger kit, which typically includes the supercharger unit, necessary brackets, pulleys, and possibly new injectors and a fuel pump to accommodate the increased power. Additionally, tuning the engine's ECU is essential to ensure optimal performance and reliability. It's recommended to consult with a professional or experienced mechanic for the installation process.
