Centrifugal SuperCharger. It looks like a belt-driven turbo. Very rare on our cars.
http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m...e/100_4253.jpg There's what it looks like installed. I have all of the pieces, I'm just waiting for my new Camaro before I do my install. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...0831-00028.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...0828-00027.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...0828-00026.jpg Again though, finding one of these is pretty rare. I just noticed, everyone of those pictures has a breather. Arent they bad for the 3800? |
Not if you have to block off the passageway and need to vent the crankcase. If you are running the stock system then it is bad to just add a breather for no reason
|
Here, let me show you an option for your car that is literally unobtainable.
:D |
How much does the kit go for if, if, if, you can find one?
|
A CSC kit? They aren't made anymore, but if you find a Paxton Novi 1k you can have a kit made up again from Stattama (Matt told me they just don't do it anymore, but they have all of the molds to still make one). It's about $700 just for the driveshaft of the kit, plus all of the other odds and ends.
I was in the right-place at the right time, and Zipper was upgrading to a paxton 2k and sold me his 1k, and at the same time Stattama was parting out a car that had a CSC and sold me their kit for a very reasonable price. Overall though, you are looking around the cost of a turbo system if you can even find one of these. |
Alright, some more questions:
Chibi-you say superchargers arent good for out cars, do u mean motor? Could i buy a used supercharged 3800 or is that a dumb idea? -i need to get a new tranny soon, is it a must to have the HD tranny with turbo/supercharger? -also, my old Monte buddy sold his monte for a GXP and wants to race sometime at the track, what, if possible, should i do to have a chance at beating him? -and finally, cost of everything thats necessary for a turbo/sc upgrade? |

If you can grab the whole engine + transmission and just swap everything to your car, it's the best bet. Top-Swapping it is tough on the 00-02. (No Impossible, but tough) For the money of the supercharger + mods + tunings + everything else. Turbos are easier and can put out more power. It's more upfront cost, but I think it's worth it. |

Will a Turbo'd 02 Monte compete with a stock GXP in a 1/4 mile?
