I have just received a supercharger from a grand prix gtp 2001 and I want to know if I can put it on my 2003 monte carlo ss? if so what in detail do I need to do?

 

there are plenty of threads on this site and grand prix forums about it.

google is your friend

 

Did you get intake manifold ,fuel rails ect,or just supercharger ? If not you are still off to a good start.

 

You are going to need A LOT more to put that on your car.

Search threads for "Top Swap" and start reading.

 

I think you need heads too. Its pretty easy.....

 

Short answer....hell no.

Long answer. There's several things you need in order to make it work. You need idler and tensioner pullies. You also need a harmonic balancer from a supercharged engine. Fuel rails and injectors. Lower intake manifold. Throttle body. Coil packs and bracket from said engine, plus all necessary bolts. Probably a supercharged PCM or tuner to compensate for it. It's a pretty big job. Oh and you need the heads too.

Good luck tuning it too lol

But it can be done. I can also tell you its going to be more involved than you think when you start and cost a lot more.

I can say this though, the first time you get on it with the supercharger on the car you will have a big smile.

 

True story....as long as the engine you put it on doesn't crap the bed within a month.

 

www.wbodystore.com has a good list of what all is needed to do the top swap to make the supercharger work on your L36. Here it is though for convenience:

L67 Heads (Pair)
L67 Fuel Rails
L67 Fuel Injectors
L67 Pullies (2 idlers and one crank)
L67 Supercharger and throttle body (Superchargers are inspected for wear and coupler play and are waranteed for 90 days/ Boost bypass included)
L67 MAP sensor and MAP sensor bracket
L67 Lower Intake Manifold
L67 Valve Covers (pair)
L67 Coil Bracket
All necessary vacuum line, bolts, and accessories for the job

And then there are a few more things that will make your kit complete:

• Head Gaskets (2)
• Crank Bolt (stock bolt is torque to yield)
• Supercharger Gasket
• Throttle Body Gasket
• Valve Cover Gaskets
• Fuel Injector O-Rings
• Performance PCM with proper gear ratio calculated
• Head Bolts
• Lower Intake Gaskets

If I were you, I'd give yourself at least a weekend to install that onto your engine, if not a week since this will be the first time that you've done this before. The reason why you will need all of these things including the heads and balancer is because with an L36, the injectors go into the LIM, while the injectors in an L67 go straight into the heads. So, the supercharger becomes your UIM, then the L67 LIM is different, along with the fuel rails being different. The balancer is different because it supports two belts (serpentine and supercharger belts) versus the L36 balancer that only has one belt. I know I'm overlooking some things, but those are the major differences between the two engines.

Also while you're at it, I would recommend getting an Aeroforce Scan Gauge, Wideband O2 gauge, boost gauge, fuel pressure gauge, and an oil pressure gauge so that you can monitor your engine properly. Plus, since you will be doing a top swap on an L36, you'll have the 3.8" pulley on a higher compression engine (L36= 9.4:1, L67= 8.5:1) so you will need to throw on a few bolt ons in order to make sure there is no knock. I recommend getting a set of headers do a CAI of some kind, and have your PCM retuned in order to be safe. After that is when the fun starts
