    Default Would it be difficult...

    ... to detach a supercharger from a wrecked VT and install it on another VT that didn't have a supercharger as factory? What would be involved in such a procedure? Thanks

    an aftermarket charger? or a factory l67 motor?

    Coz if its a factory l67 charged motor. Your best option is just swap the whole motor as the l67 is a much more suited motor for that charger. if you just swaped the charger you would be upgrading fuel lines. piping. radiator hoses i think?

    Anyway point being. swap the motor if its just a factory charged motor

    ye what sxc_sound said. i have a factory supercharged vt and the engine is actually built slightly different. so you would be doing other modifications (some big ones too i'd say) just to put the supercharger on. so either swap the engines straight over, or buy an aftermarket supercharger that can be bolted on. not only would you have to upgrade all the stuff that sxc_sound said, you'd have to put a bigger radiator on your car and possibly tune your car coz all your higher water temperatures and air levels will make your computer go spastic. so ye, ask around, i'd say talk to yella terra, about putting a supercharger on a standard commodore and they'd tell you exactly how hard it would be and what extras would have to be done
