Supercharging L36

[TobyVS]

Looking at supercharging my VS L36, i already have the blower, heads, intake and fuel rail. I see a lot of people online saying different things that I still need. Would anybody be able to just give my a list of what I still need? Cheers in advance

You need everything from the front and top of the motor that is different. Pulleys, balancer, alternator, tensioner and brackets etc.

Thanks, wouldn't have thought of an alternator. Am I better off buying a OEM or close enough balancer or just spending some to get a better one?

You need the L67 balancer as it has 2 belt drives on it. Either OEM or something like the Powerbond 5% OD race spec. It's a nice piece but not cheap.

The alternator has a slightly different orientation for the stuff on the back of it to clear the L67 fuel rail.

Should be youtube clips of it being done.

Remember watching one that was backyard d.i.y of a vs ute converted to L67 in an afternoon by a bunch of gazzards....entertaining & impressed that it ran well enough to do burnout without catching on fire lol

Compression, Power stroke length, Pistons, Bore sizes, Fuel pump, Exhaust, too many things to mention,
just to name a few more items that are different between a L36 & L67

By the time you spend the $'s,
Possibly better buying an original L67.

L36 and L67 have the same bore and stroke. The L67 piston has a lot thicker crown and therefore has a shorter rod or rather the L36 has a very long rod and slapper style piston for reduced reciprocating mass.

Possibly better off, but the VS I bought has a 110,000km VY L36 swapped into it that runs well, plus I got the blower, heads, intake and rail for free. I think it’d be a shame to discard all that

You will need to get it tuned right. I wouldn't advise getting a mail order memcal tune. @Immortality can advise more in regards to what needs to be done.

One thing not mentioned is that the L67 is externally balanced.

So you can't just bung on a L67 balancer as it will throw the balance off.
