I think I read a thread on this, but I did a search and could not find.
Is it possible to put a supercharger from an SS/Redline on a J-body Ecotec? I would imagine you would just need the manifold (belts etc,..), supercharger and fuel injectors, and the GM reflash for the kit they sell? NE1 try this?
DAMNIT! Sorry I thought I posted this in the boost section.
Alright. I'm gonna tell you from my experience. First off, but the kit or find somebody selling the eco kit for a j-body.
Or else you will need:
Charger
Gasket between the charger and bottom manifold
Manifold
Intake manifold gasket
Altenater(sp?) Bracket
The longer alt bolts to bolt the bracket down
Tensioner (not the one you already have)
Idler assembly
the bolts to hold the idler and tensioner to the block
belt
Upper rad hose
All the manifold bolts (the cobalt ones are too big)
the bottom bracket for the manifold and 3 bolts for that
Injectors
Spacers for the injectors (unless you have an 02 fuel rail, not too certain on this)
T-Map sensor
Plug with pigtailed wires for map sensor
Throttle body adapter plate
Brake booster hose (may not be needed, but I used it)
all the bolts to hold the adapter and throttle body
Get to the dealer and get the reflash, or hpt it
Thats all the parts I can think of right now. But......
Then you need the instuctions which I have found laying around on the org. You also need to cut a part of your block for the tensioner to clear. Then you need to make some sort of intake (filter, piping etc.) You also need to find someway to deal with your stock vaccuum line that comes off the passenger front side of the valve cover and your evap purge soleniod.
Thats all I can think of for now. I'm sure I missed something. So, in the long run, just but the kit.
damn... Oh well. thanks for info.

i know but your answer wasn't fully complete on what is different. i just mentioned what i found when i pieced the kit together. in case he did go thru with the hassle.

I dunno. I was an idiot and pieced it together, although I got a killer deal on the charger and manifold.
What did you do for your tb adapter?
