well there are advantages to the top swap such as higher compression

Ok... when I took my UIM of my 2000 for the topend swap there was a LARGE dia hose coming out of it. I think it is called Evac. According to some GTP Diagrams this goes to the 3rd (closest to the firewall) vacume tree. Is there an adaptor or part I need to connect the to? Or can some one who has pics of the top swap post them.
And one tree goes to the bypass and the other to nothing or "atmosphere" correct?
Thanks

The large diameter hose is for your brake booster. You can get a brake booster hose from an L67, or I think you can just make it work.
The middle of the tree is for the vac line for the HVAC system, it's the smaller hose that's connected right next to that big one mentioned earlier.

the same hose works. i used the same one.

How rough should the motor be when you first start it before it adapts and gets use to boost?

You need a new tune. End of story. It can't "adapt" enough if you try to use the same PCM. The best way to do it is start with a L67 file and change it to work with your trans. Then tune fueling and spark as needed to keep it from blowing up.
Mine chattered a little bit as the lifters got pumped up, but even the first start on mine and ever since was perfectly smooth. Runs as good as it did when it rolled off the assembly line if not better.

I know I need a tune. I guess my problem is in the MAF... (idles when not pluged in and will die when pluged in) I'm not showing any boost (even when reved up) on the DIC and I am showing 15ish VAC on my mechanical gauge. Couldn't find any Vac. leaks either...
05-23-2009
Did you use a L67 PCM and MAP sensor?
05-23-2009
Yes, I am using a GTP file and a 67 MAP.
My digital DIC is showing no boost periord. Though my mechanical Autometer gauge is holding at 15psi VAC and after I reved up, I am hitting 20-22 VAC.
We hooked it up to an HPtuner and my MAF is still giving me a reading but, is way off. When it is connected/plugged back in it will kill the car.
About the MAF it is my old 2000 one, just put it on a 67 TB.

You probably need a new MAF. If you're getting no boost I'd look to make sure the BBV is operating properly and not stuck open.

does any one have pictures of the location of the series 3 supercharged motor???
06-06-2009
I'm pretty sure the motor is in the engine bay...
06-12-2009
can i swap my n/a for a supercharged?
06-12-2009
Yes... read page 1

So I've been reading up on this, and I'm very interested in doing it, but has anything thrown out an approx/avg cost involved in doing this? I have an 04 grand prix gt that I'd love to do a top swap on, just looking for a little better idea of the money involved before commiting to something... as all mods are based on budgets. haha

contact ed morad parts..google it...and email him asking for his top swap kit and he will hook you up

Did you really post that in the Top Swap thread?
Jesus, some people's kids.

Just tell Ed that your part of the national grand prix forum and he'll set you straight.

Ed quoted me $1100 for all the hard parts...plus shipping.
The labor would be murder if you take it to a shop though.
