Buick 3800 SC?

J0rn3z · April 13th, 2009, 12:53 PM

So, I have a supercharger off of a buick's 3800, Is there ANYWAY in hell i could retrofit it on my 351w?

93hatch · April 13th, 2009, 12:55 PM

my friend bought one where some guy made a big ass aluminum thing to redirect the boost into the intake, never used it, seemed like a huge pain in the ass with alot of custom fab work to make that tiny thing work

I wouldnt waste my time... Even after all the bs trying to mount it up, Im sure it would be a very inefficient blower for our motor.

thats only an M90 blower, youd need at least an M112 or m122 to be worth a damn. Plus being a fwd motor, youd have to make a 90* piece to mount a tb facing forward or 45* to face it to a side.

Sell it, go to clubgp.com they buy those things all the time or zzperformance.com he buys them and ports them

Yea, thats what i figured, thanks for the input

If one blower is too small for a 351...

I cant even imaging how much of a bitch that would be to tune with EFI.... if you do do it, i would image carb would make it a little easier, but still prob not worth all the fab worth and pains...

O_O I do have 2 of them :]]]]]]

That belt looks kinda loose!

LOL

95StangMX · April 13th, 2009, 03:11 PM

I wasnt to impressed with the HP numbers and 1/4 numbers for the amount of money and custom fab that they had to do to that car.....with that kind of money and work I was expecting 1000+ HP and a low 9 second car....We are expecting better numbers out of my 347

86er · April 13th, 2009, 04:48 PM

that car has 7.5:1 wtf, thats even too low for a s/c car, hed pick up a shit ton with a 8.5-9.0 and be done with it. The idea is cool, but the results kind of suck

That Eaton probably doesn't flow enough air to make it a worthwhile swap.

I wouldnt call it minor, its a Shit ton of Fab work. And again to me it would seem like quite a bitch to tune it properly.....

viperlocc · April 13th, 2009, 08:39 PM

from what im looking at online, all thats needed is the upper/lower intake from a 3.8 engine that was SC and the SC itself. said that no cyl head work is needed. gonna join a buick forums and start asking lol.

it would be funny to have the only SC'd 1990 lesabre in town

Flynnster · April 13th, 2009, 08:43 PM

We had a Regal GS, it was pretty awesome.
But that supercharger is made for a six cylinder so your better off selling it.

J0rn3z · April 13th, 2009, 10:04 PM

Yea I'm probably just gonna sell it if it comes up, bought a new motor today for the ssei so ill have a fairly new supercharger laying around
