Look on the LS1Tech.com for more Holden stuff

I've heard of them, been looking at them because they installed the Supercharged 3800 in a rear drive car. I've been trying to find someone in australia that could find me a rebuildable M90 supercharger core for me to use in my rear drive conversion on an 83 Dodge Shelby Charger. You know of any salvage yards in yoour area with one of the cars that has a supercharger still sitting on the motor because it was making noise? I could use my current supercharger and just make an elbow for the throttle body but I'd like to see if I could get a hold of a rear drive blower to prove to other people that GM did make them. Thanks Brad Zeidler

yes thats correct, they use the eaton m90 supercharger on the vs,vt and vu series.

as for a second hand one, the only place i could thnk of around here is Barsby's Spare parts

you could buy themknew off holden or eaton themselves, a good reseller is Capa Performance but as you would expect, a little pricy

if you guys need an other help just let me know, ill try my best

soo, anyone else know about turboing the olde buick??

Here's some web sites for you:

www.clubgp.com
www.3800tech.com

These are geared mostly toward the Series II engines, as opposed to the turbo 3.8L engines.

Hey, I don't think The VN engine is the series two engine, I think the Holden ecotech is the series two engine. The original buick V6 Holden used should be the late 80's FWD engine from the states but in RWD, the question I have is how strong are those engines?. Because I want to install a turbo on mine. It has been done here in Australia before but there isn't much information around on how much boost the stock engine will take before it breaks or what parts from the US engines will fit on the RWD 1988-1995? Holden engines, I guess just about everything except the crank rods and pistons are different
