super charger
 

I have a 91 bonneville SE and i was wondering what super charger there is for that. And what brand.

There are no bolt on kits available that I know of, but you can always buy a centrifigul supercharger and fabricate your own mounts and oil & coolant lines and all that to make it work. A CSC setup typically costs $3k+ though. A turbo setup would probably be cheaper (maybe around $1-1.5k), but again you would have to fabricate your own stuff. Personally, I don't think it would be worth the money on that particular engine...I would sooner drop in a Supercharged 3.8 or just buy a Bonnie with a Supercharged 3.8 before I would try to get a lot of power out of that engine. Just my opinion though.

Ya ill forget about the idea. To much work im only 16

Well only being 16 is no excuse. I'm only 16 and I just tore apart my engine, put a new cam & lifters in, an underdrive crank pulley, 24lb. fuel injectors, ported my exhaust manifolds, took the whole top of a 3100 V6 (the newest generation of GM's 3.1L) and put it on my older generation 3.1L, I used the heads, intake manifolds, throttle body, and I had to convert a bunch of things to make it work. I basically had to put the whole engine together minus the crank/pistons/rods, and then on top of that customize all of the wiring, coolant lines, power steering lines, and all that to work with the new topend. It took me about 3 weeks, but that is just working on it slowly and in my spare time. All you have to do is read up on whatever you want to do a lot, so you are familiar with how it works, and then give it a shot. Money is probably a problem, but "too much work" is not an excuse. Really installing a turbo wouldn't be that much work, the biggest problem would be the computer. But, if I were in your shoes, I would just drive the car how it is and save up my cash to eventually just buy a car with more power to begin with. Just my opinion though.

yeah, I agree, age doesn't mean a damn thing. I am the only person to work on my car.. yeah i've done a few things wrong, but i've corrected them.. and i'm only 14. If I were in your shoes, i'd leave it the way it is. My bonneville in the condition she is in now, is about 3 times faster than my mom's beetle, and I have twice the power, and about twice the weight too. And mine needs a major tune up at the moment [and a new oil pan, but that's another story]. Also the 440 T4 tranny can barely handle the power you've got, let alone a blower or turbo. I suggest a real nice tune up [ search around here, you'll see a quick, free, and great methods of improving the power, you already have.
