What is the difference in 3800 in the SC

I was offered a fairly new 2000 Series II 3800 V6 that was a Super Charged vertion. I was told the compression ratio and many things are different and would not be able to make this work in a non SC applacation. Can this engine be made to work or I'm I waiting my time?o No: , Thanks, AL :beer .

 

Al the Comp Ratio on the supercharged version will require premium fuel-- as far as the
rest ---it should bolt right up to your FWD tranny---the only thing I could
see is you wouldnt have a BOOST reading on your dash instrumentation.

Pete, have ever heard of this swap being done? AL.

 

Al,if you go to REGAL.org and do a search I'm sure you could find one. Pete

Al - Check out www.motorswap.org - it used to be L67.com

Also check out www.gmtuners.com - he's done plenty of different swaps.

 

Actually the SC version has LOWER compression. It's the boost that causes it to need higher octane.

 

I did not know that:gp: ---I learn something new every day even at 57:laugh:

Because of the lower compression I run 87 IF I'm not going to get into it....like driving somewhere in the cold and rain. Especially if the barometer is low. Saves some gas $$$.
