Started at 830ish 9 ripping into the block. About 12ish it was down to just the bare block. Two hour break picking up last minute things and a lil clean up of the block, heads and what not, it began the transformation. Took us (2) people until about 10 to get everything bolted in a wired up. Started it up for the first time and it smoked like a mother for about 20 min or so. So all that needs to be done is a tune, a vac line, and a the grooved idler so i can put on the supercharger belt. Overall its not an easy task, if it wasnt for an experience help i prob would have be lost. So consider this gt boosted, well soon enough the hard work is done!!!!!

Here are some crappy cell pics i took


From this...



Her naked



To this...

how dare you post anything with out pics, you know us around here lol, congrats i cant wait until i can get my setup!!!

awsome congrats!

heck yeah!!!! nice job buddy!

looks like lots of work, gosh what am i getting my self into, how long do you think this would have taken just one guy

Welcome to the family!

isn't it so much sexier with a blower on top?

i'm jealous of your high-compression

Maybe i'll buy some l32 pistons...

doesnt that sound like a fun project!

Andrew i would plan on at least 2 days if your going solo. pay attention to every detail and make sure everything that is matting gets cleaned well. my friend put a medium grit paper on a die grinder and with light pressure, made everything nice, smooth and shinny! oh and triple check everything and try to remember the order stuff goes in its a bitch to go back 2 steps to ahead 1....

set aside a lot of time. I did most of mine on my own, and it took a lot of time.

lol.

Well the motor is coming out for the headers/intercooler/cam install anyways so why not, eh?...

you know you wanna help Corey! :p

What would it be considered then? A top-swapped l32? or an l67 with l32 pistons? holy identity crisis batman.

don't mean to threadjack.

Looks good man, do you notice a big difference?

or just buy an L36 block. Cheaper and easier.

If you make the trip down here, i would be more than happy to help out.

nothing too major right now, im still running my tuned gt file, i do notice a lil something with the front pem

Dude, do you have the fueling adjusted for the larger injectors?

If not you might be running hella rich...

oh right, you don't have the pulleys or belt yet.

when you get those you will definitely feel it.

awsome....bolts will be nice and new/loose easy for me to take hahahahaha

no tuning what so ever was done, i know something is wrong with fueling its saying im getting 38 mpg and it said i only used 3 gallons of gas from jersey to pa it was a 2hr + drive home. i dont think it would be running rich i would think it would cut off the fueling like it did in the gt... any bad side affects of it running rich?

power loss, clogged cat and wasted fuel. better than running lean though.

fine we can trade my blower for ur f1 hood

man i cant wait for mine to be done!!! GRR i want some money!! haha The blower looks real nice!!

wait did you have the blower on at the jerseygm meet??

Good work remember to check everything twice and enjoy the new power.Chico(pops)

Nicely done.

The stock L36 injectors don't flow as much fuel as the L67 ones, so they stay open longer.

So what's happened is your injectors are flowing too much fuel because even though they are only open for the same time frame as the stock ones, the L67 ones will flow more fuel in that time.

It's like having 2 different sized holes in a bucket. They are open the same amount of time but the bigger hole is letting out more water.

You'll be using a lot of gas, get that checked out ASAP. If you know ANYBODY with a tuner in the area, get in touch with them. All that needs to be done is multiply the base fueling table by (stock/new)

I'm not much into L37 or L67 but that's great job for swap L67. I bet it is 100x easy than swap whole engine like my 3100 engine for 3800 which I doubt I might do that. Somday... who know.

lol palsut its L36! haha and swapping the engine is 1000X easier IMO than doing a top swap!

yea motor swap is prob 100 times easier then a top swap, but i think doing a top swap is more fun....
i was able to upload a 97 gtp file yesterday and while doing my tranny setting swap the laptop messed up and i didnt save, only thing that got swaped over was the gear ratio settings ... so right now my tranny is hating me. my friend is supposed to tune it tommrow night, hopefully that does happen. and no i didnt have the blower on at the last show this was all done friday night at chris's house...

One more N/A GT bites the dust and is now under pressure

haha im the next one Tbat!! you gotta be next also! haha

TBat, doth I detect allusions to not one, but TWO classic rock songs?

LOLZERS

some finished pics, still waiting on the rebuild pics...

you have leaves everywhere lol, are you waiting to tune before you hook up the SC belt ? gosh it just makes me want to get myn done even more looks really really good

You seem to be missing one key component!

Looks good, though!

shoulda painted it or something while it was off

yea and ported it all in time i guess...

Your car is probably going to knock like crazy. Not enough mods on there to run a 3.8 pulley, unless you drown it in fuel.

Nice leaf mod. Those are def setting the theme of the engine bay to Fall lol.

need some headers on there alex!

finally was able to get the pics from that day back in october.. haha here is the photo book

Is there a write up on how to do a swap? I know theres a list of parts but i dont see the how to option

Yah, usually someone who has done one before or who knows decent amount about the s/c.
I didn't see a write up on clubgp.

Here's a write up.
