ONE OF A KIND S10.SUPERCHARGED 3800 PONTIAC V6

Thanks everyone for all your support

[@thebigv8644]

Man, back in the day I was really into 3.8 performance. There are some guys that built some killer SC 3.8 grand prixs. Certainly not the norm, very cool!

[@Nicksperformanceauto]

Thanks buddy for your support ya they are good motors we going to see just how good this one is

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

I’m currently swapping a SC 3.8 into my s10 as well!

[@Nicksperformanceauto]

ya there pretty cool when u get done with it very fun to drive and play with Thanks buddy for watching and all the support

[@SGray44444]

Should have come in the 90s s10. It would have been the perfect engine. The stock transmissions even bolted up.

[@Saabspeedmaniac2k6]

The 3.8 supercharged engine in the 90's/early 2000's was a great reliable sleeper motor! A few bolt ons and what you assumed was grandma's car is leaving you in the dust. Won't break any records these days but I think it's a perfect combo for your ride! It definitely won't be slow and all you have to do is keep up maintenance on it and it will run forever

[@Saabspeedmaniac2k6]

Oh and I forgot to mention, the supercharger has an oil change procedure that uses its own special oil. It doesn't get lubricated from the engine

[@Nicksperformanceauto]

ya I know They are really tough engines going to try the get the max out of this one Thanks buddy for watching and for all your support

[@deanfarr3249]

Well the series 1 tuned port was like the most reliable flawless motor that just went forever and ever very strong. The GM cars that were made in late 80s early 90s had the series 1. The later built GM cars with the series 2 series 3 and supercharged were ok but still good motors too but they had some common problems like with the manifolds and head gaskets and what not. I prefer the series 1 out of all of them though.

[@howieewalt1322]

My guess would be a GTP. Not a mechanic, just a car lover. Sick build brotha! Edit: I knew it. Been on the prowl for a nice example of a GTP!

[@Nicksperformanceauto]

Thanks buddy for your support

[@BruceDuncan-h3b]

I am amazed at how smart you guys are. I had a 1982 S - 10 2.8 ltr. carburated and I switched it to a 1988 4.3 ltr. throttle body injected and I thought I was doing o.k. You guys had to rig up LS Coils and move the engine to a front to back and hook up the computer wiring. Good power thumbs up

[@Nicksperformanceauto]

Thanks buddy for the support ya we modded a lot of things to make it work but we got it truck runs good to

[@get_fishical1963]

Had a buddy in high school with a 3.8 Aurora I think it was. Literally got it from his grandma bone stock, and could pull damn near everybody hahaha. Great build man. Always wondered why these engines weren’t available in s10 and blazers

[@Nicksperformanceauto]

Thanks buddy for all the support I don’t know why they didn’t put them in s10 ether

[@ronbrock6153]

The motor may have come from a Pontiac but it is a Buick 3800 V6 used in almost every GM division except Caddy and maybe GMC.

Those 3.8 Buicks first came straight in the 60s cars they used those same V6s on newer front wheel drive cars they just put them sideways but those are originally straight mounted engines, I was thinking of putting one of those in mi Oldsmobile Cutlass because it's the same block I just swap all the carburetor stuff onto it or run it EFI like this one.. I could even use the clutch fan on that using the old style water pump from the old '70s 3.8...

[@Nicksperformanceauto]

Ya u could do that them some really tough motors Thanks buddy for watching and for all your support

Sorry to hear about your mom.. I found out after the funeral or I would have been there😢

[@Nicksperformanceauto]

Thanks ya it was a sad time

[@oceanz4me]

Didn't hear any blower wine so I guess the coating on the rotors is gone so I guess that with that stock pulley on it that only makes 6pound at best means that 8 pound is wishful thinking to say it nicely (with a cam it would be less). And I'd be checking plugs or leads or something cause that thing is not running on all 6 cylinders. Apart from that, yes, it's different.

[@Nicksperformanceauto]

Well appreciate everything buddy I sure look into that I want to Thank u for watching and for all your support

You're not gonna hear much blower whine with those zoomiies, but I assure you it's whining!

[@Nicksperformanceauto]

@@SupraBdub Thanks buddy again buddy I really do appreciate you

[@Kincentc]

No whine because the zoomies will deafen you. The rotors have plenty of coating left. I can assure you it makes 8psi. Datalog shows it. It's hitting on all 6. It just sounds funny because you're only hearing 3 cylinders from one side of the truck.

[@joshuaknudsen8339]

Is this the engine that can bolt right in place of the 2.8l

[@Nicksperformanceauto]

This motor was in a Pontiac, Grand Prix side ways had to buy a adapter to bolt it to a powerglide transmission for it to go in the truck straight

[@masterj92]

Hey man, i just found your channel and the way you got the monte carlo moving is crazy. Can i message you and pick your brain for some ideas

[@Nicksperformanceauto]

Talk to me

[@masterj92]

@Nicksperformanceauto I have a 1987 MCSS with a lq9 6.0. It has the stock intake and internals, longtube headers, ls7 lifters, 862 heads, and 228/230 cam with a lobe separation of 112. I also have a 4l60e with a 2800 stall and the rearend has posi with 3.73 gears. I drive it to car shows and weekend drives as well as the track to race it. The fastest time I ran was a 13.2 but I'm looking to get it down to the 11s. I plan to get a higher stall, 3200-3500, and possibly 4.10 gears and a retune. Would that be enough, or would a power adder like nitrous be needed to accomplish my goal?

[@Nicksperformanceauto]

@@masterj92 the 410 and more stall would help but u can put some nitrous on what u got and make it run and u can spray 200 on that combination that u already have and it want hurt the motor and get it a lot faster

[@ItsDaJax]

I've been leaning towards a 3.8 build, since the 4.3 has basically zero aftermarket. For a 80s Caprice I'm tracking down. Somebody said they have a good aftermarket, hopefully enough for a 3-500hp n/a build.

[@Nicksperformanceauto]

There very good motors we going to try to get 500 out of ours after we change the pulleys and the gear in the rearend.Thanks buddy for watching the channel and all your support

[@aidan7102]

500 with a 3.8 is basically impossible will end up costing more than a turbo kit from zzp to make 500 with the stock supercharger

[@ItsDaJax]

@@aidan7102 I could be wrong, but isn't the same s/c used on the Supercoupes? I imagine lack of intercooling is a shortcoming for them, as extra hp loss, on top of the parasitic losses.

[@aidan7102]

@@ItsDaJax tbh i have no idea what a supercoupe was up until a few minutes ago never really looked into series 1 motors or all of the crazy things pontiac used to do in late 80s-90s. have read about a few of them wish i was alive back then but yea the biggest loss these engines have is the fact theyre not intercooled. stock is a 3.8 inch pulley, i think if you put on a zzp stage 2.5 i/c your able to drop down to a 3-3.2 inch not to sure im not yet at that point.

[@aidan7102]

@@ItsDaJaxpoint is that youll end up doing alot more and spending about the same amount of money to get to 500 hp. sc needs expensive intercooler that gets sandwiched between sc and lim, smaller pulleys, 8 rib aftermarket balancer, cam, built valvetrain, ported heads, bigger t/b, headers, a good tune, e85 or you can go with a diy turbo kit and a cam, tune, and e85 and be making 5-700 hp. best thing about his setup tho is hes not limited by the transmission being made of glass

I've been tossing around the idea of 3.8 swapping a S10 for about a year, I would have personally used a NA short block and use a ZZP top swap and used a S10 2.2 4l60e & TC with a Corvette servo and transgo shift kit.

[@Nicksperformanceauto]

Ya that would be cool too.Good combination.Thanks buddy for watching and all your support

[@daegan7293]

I’m wanting to add a supercharger to my na 3.8 is the zzp top swap a good option , what should I also add while I’m there

[@daegan7293]

Series 2 btw

[@zackarymorrow6484]

@@daegan7293 I've heard good things about the top swap, personally I would piece it together and save a few bucks but the ease of just ordering the parts is nice. I would also recommend getting a intercooler for the supercharger to help lower IAT's, a cam, or if you don't want to open the motor up that far then maybe 1.99 rockers, better flowing headers, and some port work to the heads and supercharger. Out of everything I listed the intercooler would probably be the most important. You will need a tune of course.
