getting the australian supercharger

[teal99camaro]

I think i might be getting the australian supercharger that was used on the australian holdens http://www.v6supercharged.com.au/pic...XU6-Engine.jpg


I know that boost on an l32 isnt recommended without mods but the 2004 Grand Prix supercharged has an L32.... Whats the difference between that L32 and my l32?????
Is the compression the same? What boost do those run?

[AlienInv8r]

You have an L36, not L32.

[andrew.brandon]

and GM renamed the newer 3.8L the L32. while the older 3.4 is also the L32.

Yeah, you will need L67 heads, lower intake manifold, harmonic balancer, fuel rail/injectors and tuning software. I'm not an fbody person, but from what I hear, it will not clear your hood.

I think it would be a great project if you decide to do it. Good luck.

Everyone says it wont work.

Everyone says theres not enough room.

If a 3.4 can do it, why not us?

[White95]

b/c we're special???

[teal99camaro]

i know it can be done and that car in the pic is a 3.8 also the guy i'm getting it from said he bloted it on and it fit fine

[arthansen]

That car in the first pic is a right hand drive car. Note the brake system on the left side of the picture (right side of the car).

With our brake system and other components on the left side of the car, you migh have some clearance issues. Just something to keep in mind.

Go for it... I looked into it a long time ago but couldn't get any prices from the guy that would be importing it over for me. I wasn't too hardcore interested just half assed looking.

[Ian]

I guess its just a 3.8 with the coil packs relocated. oh well.

go for it, i wanna see some pics and some track times.

[KBeezy]

if anything is needed for clearance just get a small cowl hood. [img]smile.gif[/img] Otherwise it will fit underneath the cowl. Be sure you get the lower intake manifold that matches the blower as I believe it is shorter than the stock NA 3.8 piece which will allow for it to fit..

[teal99camaro]

it will come with the intake manifold... i have a 99 so i dont think there will be issues...and i think i'll clear just fine, if nto SS hood biznatches

[RedFrk13]

I dont think it would be hard to do at all with the holden supercharger, I was just giving a list of parts that you will need and a possible need for a cowl hood. I think it could be done rather cheap and would give great gains for the money. I think if you get hp tuners and change all the timing and fuel tables over to stock GTP tables, it would run fine with the higher compression. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Would it come with a throttle body that bolts to that supercharger? That could be a minor setback making an adapter plate to mount our throttle body/MAF to that supercharger.

[teal99camaro]

well its an electronic throttle and the TB should bolt on there no problem!! thats whats great about the 99+ f bodies the tb and go anywhere
