hey everyone my lil sister just got a superchared statesman and my dads not happy with the fact that its blown so i said id give it a new paint job n convert it back to n/a but i get the blower for my car :D.

just a couple questions though, i know theres alot of differences but would i get away with just changing back to n/a ecu and putting on the n/a intake manifold but weld up the injector holes or will i have to change other stuff too ??

better off swapping the whole motor to a stock ecotec. much less effort, and it wont be a total slug

probably easier to just buy an N/A statesman. or one thats a write off and transplant motor and everything else into the s/c one.

What hakhawk said above is spot on :thumbsup:

And to explain why.... well the stock ecotec has a CR of 9.4:1 while the supercharged version only has 8.4:1 which is very blower friendly but crap for a n/a application.
