we should sticky this topic. if you search you'll see that its not as easy as it sounds. Theres a lot of good info if you search it. The conclusion is that you would have to do heads and and intake swap from a GTP engine. Since our engines are facing a different direction than the GTP's you would need to either cut through the firewall fo you're car to run piping or buy an australian supercharger off of one of their holden cars (really hard to find) You could also take a GTP supercharger and mod it to curve towards the front of the car if you're good with machine shop tools.

An alternative to swapping heads it to talk to ZZP. They have the L36 *** kit. Its basically a modified lower intake so that you dont need to swap the heads, but you have to buy fuel rails from them and send them you're supercharger to be ported. The fuel rails alone are like 250 bucks.

I want to do this. I plan on modding the GTP m90. Once the clearance issue is out of the way. I'll make my own fuel rails. Then i'll buy the ZZP lower intake and everything should be good to go. Its really hard to do this cost effectively, and you cant push high boost because intercooling it is nearly impossible. You have to spend about a grand on an intercooler plate and hope that you're hood will still clear.

This reminds me, Hood clearance issues are something to worry about with the pre-98 camaros.

We should def. sticky this or something like it so that people know that its not as easy as it looks!

well, if we really want to get into this: the reason this one always gets asked is there's no sticky solely devoted to this topic, and there should be both here and in the tech archive.
