Ecotec V6 VT - Buick L67 -Compatible??

[paul84]

I am trying to find out if the American Buick's supercharger and manifold will bolt up to my VT's V6.
Does anyone know if the engines are the same??

Fairly sure it will all bolt up but at the back of the supercharger where the throttle body it comes out straight and will rub on the firewall this will have to be modified. That is pretty much the only difference.

Not worth it champ, to much mucking around to fit it in.

Damn!! you can import them for about half the price of buying one over the counter at holden, and if you could get around the cost of freight - you could have a lot of power for not much cash!!
However, would you mind giving me a bit of an idea of what would have to be done as I am a fitter/machinist with my own workshop, which tends to make things a bit easier!

Hi No it will not fit all supercharged injectors go in to the heads not the manifold as the NA does.

well the back of the manifold would need a slight cut n shut, if your ok with aluminium wleding you might be able to do it (JUst dontfricken warp anything) plus you will need to drill into your heads to get the injectors to sit in there rather then on the manifold.

thats my understanding of it anyway, I was looking into doing just what you are doing about 4 or so months back, ended up finding it cheaper to source everything here and simply be patient.

So far I have everything for my supercharger setup except the tune, i'm waiting on a reply from Greenfoam, so far i'm sitting well under a grand of expense, but that will blow out to around $1200 - $1300 all up once the supercharger is rebuilt.
