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.
No
no... its a 3.8 liter V6 motor...
I have a 1999 with the 3800 engine. The owner's manual says the horsepower is 205 without the supercharger and 240 with the supercharger.
To change the supercharger belt on a 3800 engine, first ensure the vehicle is off and cool. Remove the serpentine belt by loosening the tensioner pulley with a wrench and sliding the belt off. Then, take off the supercharger belt by loosening the tensioner for that belt and removing it from the pulleys. Install the new supercharger belt by routing it according to the belt diagram, ensuring it sits properly in the grooves, and then reapply tension to the tensioner.
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.
Stock it is 240hp for a 3800 with stock SC. 200hp for a non SC 3800.
The air filter is refered to as an intake silencer.
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.
It will have supercharged writen on the engine cover. or you can see the supercharger's snout sticking out the left side of the engine cover. and the loud whine the car makes when you floor it..lol
A 3800 supercharger can fit on a 3400 engine with some modifications, but it's not a direct bolt-on. The 3400 and 3800 engines have different mounting points and intake designs, so you'll need to adapt the supercharger and possibly the intake manifold. Additionally, ensure that the supporting components, such as fuel delivery and tuning, are also upgraded to handle the increased power.
yes all engine block components are compatible between 3800 series I and series II, the only difference between engines is the metal composition of the block, and a new design of stock piston.
Two different engines, for obvious reasons it will not fit. Even an l36(Naturally aspirated 3800 series) will not be able to just bolt a supercharger in, you need to change the push rods and a whole wack of other stuff.
