Supercharger into a Grand Prix?

Recommended Posts

Hey all. I have a 94 Grand Prix 4 door SE...

 

i looked in the stickies, and I couldn't find any information about superchargers. Are they available for the 3.1 engine? does it require a load of fabrication? maintenance? just plain stupid?

 

please help me out...info, comments, concerns..critical and complimentary are always welcome.

No there are none "available" for the 3.1, and yes, it will take an assload of modification.

 

 

i thought RSM had one for an insane amount of money???

 

 

for the price they were charging, you could get a friggin close to new L67 and drop it in

yes the RSM one works, yes its expensive, though considering a brand new Paxton CSC sized for the dispalcement runs close to $2000 ($1850-$2200 depending on where you go) for the charger alone the price is not all the surprising as you still need the following to make the charger work if you put togther you own kit:

 

billet machined drive shaft

higher power injectors

wiring

machined mounting brackets

pulley (possibly and addational idler as well

custom intake tubing

on a car that old a new fuel pump would most likely be in order

lower heat plugs and better wires to prevent KR

tranny cooler at the bare minimum (tranny rebuild is reccomened on an older car) (couse this isit included in the RSM kit)

silicone couplers for the intake system

computer tuning (which means either a re-flash or upgrade to ODBII so you can use DHP or Intnese PCM) (this is included in the CSC kit IIRC)

 

Thats just off the top of my head. All this extra stuff is on top of the $2000 supercharger. All of a sudden the RSM kit doesnt seem so outrageous. :shock:

 

Now if you are a mechanic or have access to the machine facilities and matierls cheaply you can prob do a CSC kit cheaper espically if you find a used CSC in good working condition. However for most people thats not really an option.

 

Yes an L67 an L67 swap can be had for cheaper. Done right it can be done for the cost of a brand new CSC alone.
