Guest TurboSedan Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 there is a '94 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi i am looking at and have a few questions. first off, the supercharger coupler went out so the owner had it removed and L27 intake manifolds were installed so it's now naturally aspirated. the car is SLOW. i mean really REALLY slow. doesn't the Series I L67 have lower compression than the L27? so without boost that would account for part of the reason the car is so slow right? i believe the car is also still using the L67 computer (do these cars have a memcal?)...if so wouldn't that also make the car run wierd ie slow? hell for all i know the car might still have a 2-bar MAP (assuming they are not MAF cars....i have alot to learn about the 3800s....). i really like the car; it runs good and looks great besides a few minor things but it's slow as hell as it is right now. although, it's a perfect candidate for a Series II L67 swap that's for sure. so what is the compression ratio difference between the Series I L67 and the L27? any input appreciated, thanks.

digitaloutsider Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 They have the same compression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoStudd Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Well, from what I heard the SI L67 does have lower compression than the L27. Don't quote me, but I think the L27 has 9.0:1 and the L67 has 8.0:1. This was discussed before: http://www.w-body.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15681 I have a SI L67 (M62) Supercharger with the LIM and injectors attached packed away in my shed that I could sell you if you're interested. I was going to slap it on my Regal, but I've since decided to swap in a complete SII L67 drivetrain instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 wow, i just read that thread....good info! thanks for posting that link. it wouldn't be that hard at all to convert this '94 SSEi back to supercharged with stock parts but then again maybe Series II L67 would be the way to go. DiscoStudd, if i do end up with this car i will be PMing you! and onto some more questions: 1) the L27 & Series I L67 cars are MAF right? so no MAP sensor (2-bar) is used on the Series I L67? 2) are the injectors different between the L27 and Series I L67? 3) is the EPROM code different between the Series I L67 and the L27? i would think it would have to be but i have alot to learn. also, do the Series I cars use a PCM or and ECM + memcal?

Personally I'd just put a series 2 L67 engine in there. You already have the HD transmission and the 4T65-E will require a PCM change. (line pressure is electronically controlled in the 65-E) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 From what I remember, the PCM's are the same, just the memcals are different between the 2 motors. IIRC, both are MAF only with no MAP (I never saw a MAP sensor on either of the 2 L27's I've owned.) I just thought of another site to check out: http://www.gmtuners.com This page describes the differences in 3800 PCM's (it's linked off of the above site) : http://dtcc.cz28.com/eprom/3800PCM.htm The guy running the site is a member over at L67swap.com and has done several L36 and L67 Fiero swaps. I was going to contact him regarding a custom memcal when I had planned on putting the M62 on my L27. Sounds to me like he really knows his shit...

I honestly don't know enough about the transmissions to tell you anything about the differential, but try asking Dr. Jay on BonnevilleClub. That guy knows his shit.

mfewtrail Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 http://www.seriesoneperformance.com/ Did a search and it looks like that stuff that was mentioned earlier on the Bonneville board(in another thread here) is now offered at this "store." My parents have a 1994 Regal w/ an L27 in it and it doesn't feel that "slow" to me. It ran a 16.7@84mph back in 2003 when I ran it, about 85-90* & humid out so it felt slower that day(one magazine test shows a 16.0 or 16.1 for a L27'd Regal).

Yes it has a 4T60-E HD. Not too sure about the diff. My Regal has a 3.06:1 diff. not sure what the H bodies has with the L67. Couldn't be too much worse. The diff might be slightly stronger. Personally I wouldn't worry too much about it. From what I remember, the PCM's are the same, just the memcals are different between the 2 motors. IIRC, both are MAF only with no MAP (I never saw a MAP sensor on either of the 2 L27's I've owned.) The series 1 L67's might have a MAP, but it isn't for fuel, just for a boost gauge. GM did this on the Turbo Trans Am. It has a 3bar MAP sensor and it's only purpose is to move a gauge. Oh, BTW. in the link that Disco posted I said that 93-95 L27's had 9.0:1 compression. I have since learned that my chiltons manual is wrong, and that the compression stayed at 8.5:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJay Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Wow, didn't think the comparison we did on BC would make its way to other forums. Hope it was helpful to those who read it. To clear a few things up with reguards to the series I: The compression ratio between the l27 and l67 is the same. Both carry 8.5:1. The l67 has a map sensor, its on the engine towards the firewall. The map sensor drives the boost gauge. They are both mass air systems. The bottom end differences are minimal but the l67 has floating pins while the l27 was press fit. Helpful but not necessary. There is some debate about the makeup of the rods, but I'm lead to believe they're both cast. The -HD transmission got a few beefed up pieces but mainly just the final drive. The -HD transmission came with an FDR of 2.97 but the 60E was available with 3.06 and even 3.33. The l27 has 21# injectors while the l67 has 30#. Hope that clears a few things up.
