You cannot simply bolt on an Eaton M90 blower onto a L36 and make it work. Most importantly, the heads are different. The fuel injectors on a L67 are placed into the heads, while on a L36, they go into the intake manifold. While the supercharged L67 heads and the L36 normally aspirated heads were identical in 97-98, the injector bosses are not machined out to accept the injectors. In '99 and newer, the L36 heads went to a different casting, and these injector bosses no longer exist

Other differences between the L67 and L36 engine are the pistons and rods. The pistons are stronger on the L67 (but obviously not strong enough for our 370 HP engine! height is different, making the L36 have a 9.5:1 compression ratio vs. 8.5:1 on the L67. This means even if you could get the lighter rods and pistons to live under boost, you wouldn't be able to run nearly as much. The cam, crank and block are the same, but the cam gear is different to allow the cam to be installed advanced in the L67.

Thanks heaps for that! You learn new stuff everyday well i might give it a miss for the time being then - but im guessing things like 2 1/2inch cat back - growler kit - shift kit those simple things will make a NA ecotec go better...not heaps of power but a bit better than stock?

again thanks for the info!!

Go check out Forced Induction Technologies - V6 Supercharged Specialists in Australia for more info, they also sell ecotec performance parts like 1.9:1 rockers, exhausts, intakes etc

Cold air intake is also worth doing as well mate and fairly cheap.

Everything and anything you do is pretty pointless without a stable base though. Ensure all your filters, oils, plugs, leads, gaskets, cables etc are all functioning as they should before any mods. Gains can be quite surprising with a bit of maintenance!
