    Did a similar build on my '99 GS. Full Comp Cam kit, double roller timing chain (CR balance shaft removed- balance has to be dead-nuts), Mahle pistons- bumped compression ratio, powered metal rods (GM factory forged rods starting '00-'01), intercooler, ARP stud kits, Cometc head gaskets, slightly worked heads, headers...you'd be surprised at how torquey these 3.8L are!

She sold me a 99 Buick Park Ave ultra supercharged with 60k miles. For 500$. Yeah best deal of my life it runs great although it does have a issue with something electrical.

      I don't know the gear ratios but the 3800 V6 definitely has = some high power ignition timing, when it kicks in it's like a V8. But it doesn't steer as good lol. THE 2000 Monte SS is good. could use better braking calipers and 17" tires. The Impala is a Great four door. Two doors are a little limited.

    I know this video is a little old, but I'm getting ready to swap in a 3800 series 3 supercharged v6 from an 07 Grand Prix GT into my 01 firebird. Getting the engine for $250, with a little less than 100,000 miles. Plan to do a rebuild kit - just to be safe, 180° tstat, colder spark plugs, 3.4 inch pulley, N* throttle body, headers, cat back exhaust, and a tune. Might add the intercooler later, after seeing how things run.
    From what I've read I can use my harness, and computer - with a tune. Only problem I have to address is fitting the supercharger. Plan on using an elbow pipe to avoid cutting into the firewall.
    Wish me luck! Or any advice is appreciated.

    • @extremedrivr
      @extremedrivr 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Why 180 TStat???? You should go 160!!!! Anything hotter than that is simply too taxing on the cooling system and engine.
      Thats part of what causes engines to overheat is cooling temps being allowed to run too darn hot.
      160s are the way to go. Your engine will thank you and will last many numerous miles longer because of a 160.
      And dont anyone give me flak about this. I know what I am talking about. Hope that helps.

  • @scottr2898
    @scottr2898 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    i noticed you guys used no rtv in some important places, like the oil pan for one, just a gasket will leak. the pan bolts should also have thread sealant on them, those bolts go right into the block and oil splashes on the threads. the bottom two inches of the timing cover gasket, rtv both sides of the bottom where it would meet the pan, same for the rear cover. the timing cover bolts and the 4 long water pump bolts also need thread sealant or they can leak coolant on ya. i did all this on my 3800 and 2 years later not a drop of any fluids are to be found. i didnt hear any talk about a machine shop for the block. hope it was sent off to one, or you might have just built a 200 mile engine. or less in some cases. take the crank out and these blocks twist, bolt all new stuff in there and its rappin rodney pretty fast if its not had the crank boar align honed

    • @D0MTECH
      @D0MTECH 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm not a fan of overuse of RTV. The places that needed it got it. I did use sealant on bolts that required it such as the long water pump bolts. So far the Only leak I've had was from one of the heater coolant connections where the previous owner used too much RTV and I didn't quite get it all cleaned out.

    • @D0MTECH
      @D0MTECH 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As far as having it machined, I was rebuilding and engine that didn't yet have a problem, but had very little bearing left and was close to failure. I did very carefully inspect the block and all I did to it was a basic cylinder hone with a hand drill. I did use a re-maned crank and all new internals. So far it has made it 600 miles and is still doing fine.

    • @scottr2898
      @scottr2898 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      some make it, some dont, best of luck. 600 miles you might have a keeper. the oil pan will leak give it time. its just a thin smear on the block and pan needed, along with the pan bolts, bottom of the covers are a common oil leak, why the rtv there, once again, its just a thin smear. them rear cover bolts should have loctight on them too. they have like no tq value, and im sure you noticed they came out really easy.

    • @D0MTECH
      @D0MTECH 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I replaced the oil pan and rear cover bolts with better ones that could be torqued higher. I thought I remember the oil pan bolts being blind holes, but I'll keep an eye on them for leaks. Nothing yet tho.

    • @D0MTECH
      @D0MTECH 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Some Australian cars came with it installed like that, it was called the ecotec v6. Some Camaros/Firebirds had the 3800 series 2 NA, so you can either swap one or use the transmission from one. You also have to modify the supercharger since the inlet points towards the rear of the engine.

      This blower won't bolt upas far as I am aware. The Buick v6 family does not include the Vortec 4.3 you are talking about. There might be a Weiand blower kit or some other aftermarket brand that you will have to find as I don't know what is available for your engine.

      The 4.3 is basically a 350 V8 less 2 Cylinders. So no relation to the 3.8 Engine family. And yeah there are supercharger kits for the 4.3 but I have and will stay N/A on my 1996 4.3 S-10 SS which is making about 265 Horses with the mods I have done so far.

    a must do is check that the crank is round and not egged shaped or just flush the 4 thousand down the toilet

    Is the timing belt and chain the as the 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix ?

    • @D0MTECH
      @D0MTECH 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not sure if it was identical from the factory, but they are definitely compatible. Everywhere I checked listed the same part for the series 3 and the series 2.

      You can make it fit. Get the drivetrain out of an f-body Camaro or Firebird

    How much horse power you get out of that V6???

    • @cardesinr
      @cardesinr  7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Probably around 250 to be conservitive. A new supercharger and intake showed up in the mail, so that will be installed soon.

      Someone with the same swap and similar mods just had theirs dyno'd at 290rwhp. Once we install the genV supercharger and tune it I'm figuring it'll put me right at 300rwhp.

  • @joshualindley7971
    @joshualindley7971 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    So all I would would need generally would be the fuel rail supercharger and lower intake?

    • @D0MTECH
      @D0MTECH 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      To install a supercharger? For a top swap you would also need the supercharger pulleys/mounts and an SC crank pulley. Since the injectors go into the heads on the SC engine, you would either need heads from a supercharged engine or a modified intake with a modified rail like the kit ZZP sells. Then finally, a 2 bar MAP sensor and a PCM re-tune.

      just turbo it....

    • @frigglebiscuit7484
      @frigglebiscuit7484 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Some Guy superchargers also rob mega hp, heat the air charge up big time (can't intercool) and have crap power gains. Size the turbo right and you will woop a supercharger and get more mpg.

    • @frankglasgow
      @frankglasgow 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Compression on N/A engine I've read is too high for top swap supercharger. I'd love to just do this to my regal but I got a complete drive train for 500 with computer and harness. Tell me otherwise if I'm wrong. 97 regal going to be s/c with fresh rebuilt 4t65e-hd tranny.

    • @frigglebiscuit7484
      @frigglebiscuit7484 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Frank Glasgow the compression won't be that big of a deal.

    What’s your manifold? I’m curious if it might fit a 2.8

    • @geoffmooregm
      @geoffmooregm 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No it is a completely different engine family. The only bolt on supercharger ever made for the 60 degree V6 was the Fageol Supercharger. They are hard to find but do pop up on ebay from time to time.
      To make this specific blower work your best bet would be to modify the lower manifold of a Camaro and weld a supercharger base to it. Not even sure if it will work but its worth a look.

    Nice! But when u rebuild a motor, I don't play dance music through it, it's METALICA ALL THEY WAY! You have OCD just like me! Clean parts, well lubed camshaft, etc... Good job! You could eat off of any part of that engine! Did u forget one bolt for the waterpump??

    I want to rebuild one to make about 300 to the wheels if possible. any pointers?

    • @D0MTECH
      @D0MTECH 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      300whp is some work to achieve supercharged, turbo no problem. I've heard a lot of people say that the stock lower end is good to 600, so I don't think anything too extreme is required rebuild wise. On mine (the one in the video), I did use series 3 connecting rods and they seem much nicer than the series 2 cast ones.

    • @MkSwampy
      @MkSwampy 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Dominic Florer it'll still be a while before I do it. do you mind if I contact you when I do? I've done work on cars but it will be my first engine rebuild.

  • @bernn3330
    @bernn3330 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I got 2 questions first is this the v6 engine from a firebird 3800 and second what kind of supercharger is it want to build my own?

    • @cardesinr
      @cardesinr  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is a front wheel drive platform 3800 out of a Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. I dont think the Firebird ever came with a supercharger. I have heard the australians had a rear wheel drive 3800 supercharged so you might want to start there with your research but I dont know what you would need to complete the conversion you are asking about, sorry about that.

    • @nickalberici
      @nickalberici 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Your firebird has an L36 3800. I dont think this is an L36 exactly, but there are parts out there like this for your motor. I also have a 3800 fbody, and superchargers are hard to put on these things because of the lack of room. IMO, the best way to get more air into an fbody is a custom exhaust manifold that brings a turbo up to the front of the motor where the AC is (consider an AC delete). If you do this, you'll have a ton of room because these engines are really tucked in. If you really insist on a supercharger, there is one that will fit onto an L36, but its air intake is on the opposite side from the pulley, and i'm not sure how much fabrication that will take. Its on the L67 3800.

  • @repnatl

    Why did you decide to not go the intercooler route also while building it also what size pulley will you be running?

    • @D0MTECH
      @D0MTECH 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I will do inter cooled eventually. It's a bit trickier in a Fiero, but I have some plans for how to set it up. When I do it, I'll be making my own aluminum fuel rails and possibly my own inter cooler. Its a 3.5 pulley right now, I'm not sure what it'll end up at when I go to the gen V.

    • @repnatl
      @repnatl 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh ok didn't know this was going in a fiero i just get excited seeing the l67 being built lol yeah the gen v is the way to go.
