Can you add a supercharger to the stock engine of a 2002 pontiace bonneville?

Question

I have been wondering if its possible to add a supercharger to my car, and am not sure if its possible or how to do it. any and all sugesstions and opinions welcome. but please, no rude or stupid comments. thank you

It has the 3800 engine in it. If that helps clarify

Answer 1

Long answer: Sure can. In fact....the...3800 came with a supercharger from Pontiac. I'm guessing, however, that you have a 3600, since you called it "stock" (Just pop the hood, it'll say if it's a 3.6 or 3.4 right on the intake manifold.) at any rate, bolting on a supercharger is no joke, that is serious, serious work, even if it is one that was MADE for that engine. You'll need to replace the instrument cluster, computer, get a new hood (I think) new pulleys, etc. Of course, this is assuming you want it to look as pontiac intended (I'm a big fan of sleepers...you know, like "Oh, Lawl! Look at that Bonnie-Vil! Ima Smoke it!"
My car: Vrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooom
Bonneville: "Warp seven, Ensign- engage."

Me: /cry)

The short answer is: you can supercharge anything.

Answer 2

I don't suggest it. The factory supercharged engine has lower compression so that the blower doesn't overpressure the cylinders and detonate the fuel. You also need a different wiring harness, matching ECU, dash - it's a big job. I think the hood is the same, but it's still a big job. Your best bet would be to get a totaled car that was hit in the rear for parts. Also, be careful if you have traction control - some of the supercharged Pontiacs don't come with traction control, because with that much torque, you can overpower the brakes and wear them out in no time.

Answer 3

if you have the money they can supercharge anything, it should have the same engine as the 3.8 supercharged version that they have already unless your engine has a higher compression ratio and I really doubt that, just take it to a place that knows what they are doing if you decide to do it.
