Re: supercharge my 98 lesabre

Old supercharger + Car with whole bunch of wires. That'll make the EGR system happy. You'll probably set a bunch of engine trouble codes.

You'll also need to get a different crankshaft pulley and another idler arm for the second belt. At least, that's how the belts are installed on Buicks with a factory supercharged 3800s.

Beyond that, you'll likely have to move the alternater, power steering, and lord knows what else. The hood might not close.

Can the frame handle 20 more horsepower? Probably. Who knows. That's not really the point of doing it though.

There's some websites out there dedicated to racing cars with 3800-series engines... Pontiacs mostly I think.

Do front wheel drive cars have differentials?
