Default 2002 Buick Century 3.1 V6

I have a 2002 Buick Century Custom 3.1 sfi V6 and it has been good so far. Its very boring tho. I had a 2002 Chevy Malibu with the same engines and put a turbo on it and the engine failed in 3 weeks. I was looking to swap engines with a 3800 series 2 supercharged or 3900 V6. I want more power than the 3.1 puts out. Instead for feeling like I borrowed grandma'* old Buick.

Actually, a Century IS Grandma'* old Buick......

Simplest thing to do , is trade in the Century for a Bonny with a SC'er.....and it'* more of a chick magnet!

Agreed. Stick with the 2000+ Bonneville'*. Or find a GXP. Don't waste time or MONEY on swapping out the 3.1 for a 3800.
