3800 N/A to SC conversion

[coprunr]

my wife has a 99 Lumina LTZ w/ 3800 n/a ..wondering what all i would need to put a SC from a GTP on it

 

[GTP-1]

Take a look at Thrasher Engineering's home page. They have a lot of tech info there. You would need things like computer, heads, complete blower/intake system, pulleys(engine). But basically, i just wouldn't try it. The natural engine has weaker internals and won't hold up long under this stress. A blown 3800 already has problems with the transaxles, and it is a HD version. You don't have the HD version and it will definately go to pieces. I would guess it might last 10,000 miles. They cost about $1000-$1200 to rebuild. You can buy a complete motor and transaxle out of a wrecked car for the same or little more $$.
