1990 Oldsmobile 88 from North America - Comments

"A high performance sedan"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

CV Joints don't last very long.

Rotors always find a way to get warped.

Overall, not much has gone wrong, other than the stuff you need to regularly change/replace.

General comments?

6 months after I bought the car, a buddy of mine was scrapping his 1990 Bonneville and was selling it for parts, so I got the supercharger from it and fitted it to my Delta 88, also took the wheels and seats, although the seets did not fit, now I pull up to a stop light and can smoke T-birds and Stangs. Once raced a Corvette, didn't beat him but managed to some what keep up.

Overall this car was a nice investment.

Can you explain how you did the supercharger conversion on a web site?

Because I'm thinking of doing that with my "super sleeper" four-door Delta 88.

Could you explain what all was required to do the conversion (supercharger)? If so, mail me at hotstreet13@hotmail.com

Pontiac did not supercharge the Bonneville until 1992 with the SSEi.

I was also wondering about the supercharger thing. I have a 1989 Eighty-Eight, and was thinking about trying to find a supercharger from a Bonneville, if at all possible. So, along with e-mailing this other guy here, e-mail me too.

I got a delta88 with a 3.8 I was thinking about supercharging it, where can I get 1 for cheap.

I love on friday nights a lil ol' ricer will come up to me and start reving his engine, asking me to race, I say OK, I don't rev mine, but when the light goes green I leave him sitting at the light. at the next light same guy, he ask me whats under the hood, and I say an engine. I like to let people think that I got something hooped up or sumthing, but I want to get a supercharger (just to have, not that I need it tho).

I am also interested in this, as my '90 Olds D88 is nearing 300,000 km, I'm contemplating an engine rebuild, and a supercharger would be a nice addition. It's been a while since I've seen a supercharged 3800 Series I, I'm damn sure it wouldn't take much to convert an old bonnie 'charger over, but the details would be nice - my email is TacticalVirus@hotmail.com and I would be sincerely grateful if you would explain the details.

I myself am one of the many who would like to do so... is it true that you could essentially take an entire drivetrain from a 97 on up pontiac GTP and bolt it in? I beleive it would be fairly easy... and the series II drivetrains are better anyhow.

If any one has successfully supercharged an 89 delta 88 (3800), could you write the procedure as a comment in the reviews please. I want to put a supercharger off of a 94 Bonneville on my Delta, but don't want to mess anything up. Thanx.
