hazmatic Posted May 4, 2003 Report Posted May 4, 2003 i have a 88 regal wit a 2.8L V6 (Gen II) n i wanna swap it wit a 3800 Series II Supercharged how muhc work would it take n wut would i have to do to fit it in therre Quote
Robby1870 Posted May 4, 2003 Report Posted May 4, 2003 well, you would need the tranny from the 3.8L S/C, and the wiring is sorta hard unleless you get the adapter from http://www.l67.com. The motor and trans are gonna run you like $1000-1500. Robby Quote
Robby1870 Posted May 4, 2003 Report Posted May 4, 2003 IMO, yes it is. Your 2.8 puts out like 130HP and 160 ft-lbs of torque, stock. The 3.8L S/C puts out 240HP and 280 ft-lbs stock. You would be gaining over 100HP and 120 ft-lbs. Plus, there is a lot of aftermarket parts for the 3.8L S/C and theres not that much for the 2.8/3.1. That 3.8L S/C can easily hit 300HP with 3 or 4 mods to it, it has great potential. I think it is worth the money and time. It would take a lot of time to do such a swap. Robby Quote
Bake82 Posted May 4, 2003 Report Posted May 4, 2003 so iz it all worth it? Well you would be gaining 110 HP from the swap, and from what I hear that are alot more things you can do with the L67 to make it have even more HP. Probably the quickest easiest way to make ALOT of HP. Also can you imagine the sleeper you would have on your hands, it would be freakin awesome! I'd say go for it if you have the coin to do it and the mechanical background! Quote

hazmatic Posted May 4, 2003 Author Report Posted May 4, 2003 damn son y r u hatin so much dgo damn u just need to calm down aight talkin shit ova da comp aint gonna get u far Quote
Robby1870 Posted May 5, 2003 Report Posted May 5, 2003 http://www.grandprixstore.com has a lot of stuff for the 3.8L S/C. And, you really cant order any parts. You need to go to a good junk yard and start looking for a wrecked car with the motor in it. Again, you will need the motor, transmission, PCM, axles, and Im prolly forgetting something Robby PS. How about all the flame wars stop? You may not like how he types or talks, but that doesnt stop anyone from helping him out. Quote
NOHC_WBody Posted May 5, 2003 Report Posted May 5, 2003 damn son y r u hatin so much dgo damn u just need to calm down aight talkin shit ova da comp aint gonna get u far Well, I've seen drunk posts on ClubSi that I couldn't understand,even after re-re-re-re-reading them and I got all of this on the second pass.

Guest RedCutlassSL Posted May 5, 2003 Report Posted May 5, 2003 i agree with Gransport, this guy is getting really sickening. i would bet 50 bucks this idiot can't even change the oil. look at how many posts he had to make because he couldn't get something as simple as wheel spacing, offsets, and bolt spacing. if you want us to help you, stop the gangsta bs.

slick Posted May 5, 2003 Report Posted May 5, 2003 PS. How about all the flame wars stop? You may not like how he types or talks, but that doesnt stop anyone from helping him out. I agree. Even though he may talk like an idiot, it doesn't meen that he has a common interest that we all have, and that is our cars. He is just trying to get help by us, and some of us are gettin mad just because the way he is. Were all different, so just lay off. And for you hazmatic, just please try to make it more readable. It has been getting better, I will admit that, but just keep trying. And also, just keep asking questions about what to do with your car, because even though there are some people that don't want to help and all the do is bitch because the way you talk, there are people that are here willing to help.

hazmatic Posted May 7, 2003 Author Report Posted May 7, 2003 ok i wuz doin some more reaserch on da 3800 supercharged engine n its a 90 degree engine how would i go about mountin that in since my car is a 60 degree engine Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted May 7, 2003 Report Posted May 7, 2003 Doesn't matter. 60 vs. 90 is just the V-angle of the cylinders. As long as all the mounts line up to the mounting points (and they will) you don't have a problem. Quote
slick Posted May 7, 2003 Report Posted May 7, 2003 So will the axle from like a bonneville work in my grand prix then, or will I have to get one custom made? Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted May 7, 2003 Report Posted May 7, 2003 If you're using a 4T65-E, you'll have to make a hybrid axle. That's easy, just swap 4T65-E inner CV's onto the original halfshafts. Quote
slick Posted May 8, 2003 Report Posted May 8, 2003 OK, sounds good. What all will be the issues when the times comes for me to do this. Engine mounts are the same, using the 4t65-e tranny, u told me about the axle, there's a wiring kit. Will I have to custom run fuel lines and such? Quote
