I'm sure you get this question a lot, so feel free to direct me to a web site with the information on it if such a thing exists.
I have a 1995 Grand Prix SE, 3100 Engine. It's a great car, I certainly can't fault it. I just wish it had a little more power. I was thinking about adding a turbo or supercharger to it. If I added a supercharger, I?d have to move the alternator or compressor I would assume. I don't know how this would go unless someone has made a fitting for it on the under side of the engine below the first cylinder. a turbo would be a little more real estate friendly I would think because the exhaust exits on the right side, and the intake is also on the same side (unlike mounting a supercharger on the left). Is this worth it? The engine already has 81,000 miles on it, no troubles with it, however. Runs perfectly, transmission could shift faster, but I can deal with that. I was also thinking about an all-out engine swap from say a 3800 GTP.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks :)
If it was me I would do the GTP motor swap. You would probably end up fabricating parts for the 3100 if you put anything on it. If you want more info on swapping the 3.8 S/C motor go here...

Motor swap is as extreme as i wanna get. I'd like to get around 250 out of it, any more would be a fun luxury i guess.. 8) Nitrous... hummm. i kinda wanted to have all-the-time power not track power or make-your-stock-0.008-inch-thick-exaust-manifold-cherry-red power; I can't quite see driving down to the grocery store, over to Best Buy and then to the movies with nitrous pumping all the while in my GM-made 3100... but that might be fun! :twisted:
I pulled this from the ClubGP forum on the 88-96 GP's
