s/c install on an sse
 
okay, so my friend and i are going to buy a s/c of an ssei and instal it on his sse i think is what he has. someone said you CANT put a s/c on a non-sc motor, which doesnt make shit for sence considering its the same motor, all ill really have to do it put it on, w/injectors and shit to come w/it and then get it tuned right?

Nobody has done it because when they figure out what's involved, they realize very quickly that it isn't feasible. From an economic standpoint, the proper sequence is this:

1. Sell the car and buy an SSEi.
2. Swap the entire drivetrain from an SSEi (including engine, trans, wiring harness, and PCM) into an SE
3. Try the conversion that nobody has ever done because it's not cost effective.

Now if cost effective isn't a concern, let's look at it from a labor standpoint. From simplest to most difficult:

1. Sell the car and buy an SSEi.
2. Swap the entire drivetrain from an SSEi (including engine, trans, wiring harness, and PCM) into an SE
3. Try the conversion that nobody has ever done because it's not labor effective.

As you can see from the two scenarios above, the easiest and cheapest thing to do is sell and buy the SSEi. Period.

I've definitely heard of at least one person bolting a s/c, LIM, brackets, injectors, pulleys, etc. on a L27 bonneville. So, just because it's not on the internet dosen't mean it never happened.
And there are more than a few gp guys that swapped heads, LIM, s/c, injectors, etc. onto a L36.
They aren't 'the same motor' so it's not like you can just bolt a s/c on. But it can be done.

You'll need a L67 harmonic balancer, L67 Heads, L67 injectors, L67 Lower intake, L67 Supercharger, L67 PCM programming, probably the L67 fuel rail and the misc tensioners and idlers for the supercharger belt. You will also need the GT-> GTP wiring harness adapters for boost bypass and MAP. This is not an easy swap.

well, sounds like a fun swap but hey, this kid REALLY doesnt want to go buy an SSEI, hes in love with his sse, so helll, if he supplies parts and money for it, i may as well help him to the best of my knowledge :D . ill post and update and stuff later when he gets the s/c and stuff for it. would anyone give me to their knowledge, what might i need? my guess what really:
s/c
injectors
new pully belt
ecu tuned
fuell rail
MAF(but i think its on the s/c?)
anything else i cant think of? only like MUST haves too please, and some highly recommendeds too lol

rogue stated the major items above

so does anyone know of anything else i need?

ohh and can someone enlighten me on what like L67 and engine codes are body styles code im looking at please?

L67 is a supercharged engine. Depending on year donating etc there could be more difficulties. I'd say you need to search around and learn up a bit before trying to help your friend.

There's series 1 and 2.. big differences and specifics on years and wiring.

you just to need to search around the forums....

there is differences between the 92, 93 and 94-95 L67's also Trans are also specific to certain years.... not to mention that 92-93 are pure OBD1 and 94-95 are OBD 1/2, you need to reeeealy know what your doing....there are also differences between the NA L27 and the L67 with the internals of the engine
