Joined the site more for my parents than myself however it is always nice to talk to the experts such as yourselves so hear goes. To this day we have a 2007 Buick Lucerne. 3.8L L26 so on so forth, for the 4th time I am currently replacing those ridiculous bypass hoses (not me personally this is my first crack at the car) Fortunately I work for a towing company we get many wrecked or totaled vehicles that we can do whatever we like with. I so happen to find out that they have the 3.8L of which I pulled a supercharger off of the series 2 engine from a 01 Riviera, however unfortunately we crushed the car before I knew of this site and realized I needed the heads LIM and such but some areas got me confuzzled.. Thought to myself, how awesome would it be to surprise the parents with a supercharger on there Lucerne? It would be a swell idea if you asked me. Fortunately I have read your Top Swap Info before posting up but I may have a few questions if I could pick your guys brains a bit? Figured it would be awesome to have something a little different than everyone else plus my parents no longer drive the Buick as often as their brand new 2016 V6 Dodge Charger. So I would like to spark a new (different) flame on to this car so each can drive one of their cars without feeling left out...
I am aware the Gen V would be more efficient but you can't beat free. My questions are more aimed toward How I would route vacuum, would the electronic throttle work with this system? Will the throttle body bolt on to the Gen III SC from the L26? Which map sensor would be recommended for this application? Would a simple ECU flash work? Can I Run a single belt with this set up like the L26 has? Will I have to change that one tooth timing? And I will be running the 36LB injectors and a custom pulley for the SC.
