ssvette Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Does anyone know what happened with the northstar supercharger project? I hear mentions of it but no reasons why it did not complete. Thank You Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 They are working on the computer calibration. The Northstar PCM is apparently very very difficult to re-program due to a number of security features. The 93-95 OBD I calibration is ready, but the 96-current calibrations are still in work. The rest of the system I think is ready to go into production for the current model cars. XMS is producing the Northstar Supercharger project.

aurora_xtreme Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Hey Bruce....will the Supercharger be able to be mated to my 95 Olds Aurora 4.0 Northstar?? I was looking at some of the pics of the Supercharger project, and looks like my Air filter box (which is removed in the Supercharger pics) is in same location as the one that is removed for the supercharger on the Caddy Northstar. Fingers crossed--please tell me that it'll be able to fit my car also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 No one knows yet. The physical fit should be about the same. The question would be on the computer calibration. I will say there does seem to be a lot of interest in getting the supercharger to work on the 4L NS.

K2K Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 The issue isn't if it will fit. The issue is if you have the 4k dollars to buy it :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboy6998 Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Look at domestic performance they have a turbo kit going on for a northstar and for the 4.0. and they have the chip for all year models on sale too (no picture) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbuc Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 That turbo kit is ONLY for the 95-97 and 98-03 Oldsmobile Aurora. It will not work on the northstar engines in cadillacs, plus they haven't even built it yet. They are just waiting until enough people are interested which hasn't happened. It would be nice if it was built and fit into a cadillac but there has been no word from them on any such project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssvette Posted March 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Is there a time frame when the supercharger maybe available for the seville 2002 and will it be available for the SLS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acklac7 Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 can the 4T80e handle 400+ horses?...I thought I came across a post that said it was already near its maximum capacity A.J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 The supercharger project is hung up waiting on the OBD-II computer recalibration. Apparently the Cadillac code is unique in the number of software protections it has to prevent reverse engineering. Perhaps this was to protect the stabilitrak code? Anyway, the coding vendor currently on the project is the "severalth" vendor XMS has been through trying to get someone who can do the job. The last I heard from Bob, the vendor claimed to be 80% complete, but I don't have any idea what that means on the calendar. The 4T80e has torque management routines to protect itself already, so that may have helped with the favorable engineering analysis of the effect of adding the supercharger. I did not get a copy of that report though, so I can only speculate.
