Most of the time a supercharger is not replacing anything. You are just adding on extra parts, like a fuel pump, larger fuel injectors, brackets, etc.
However with roots or twin screw type superchargers you actually are replacing the whole top of the manifold, since the supercharger bolts on top of their own manifold.
You don't have to replace the supercharger you will just have no performence power and bad gas milage, but you will not harm the supercharger. Same thing happen to me, year later I replaced my supercharger belt and supercharger was fine.....dont wait get it fixed dont hurt the GTP!!!!!
supercharger oil for 2002 pontaic Bonneville ssi what is it and what is the best oil to replace it with?
no :(
It might be the supercharger going bad. The supercharger has a little coupler that is located in between the supercharger nose and the main body. This coupler is located inside and once it starts to wear out it will start making a clunk sound. You can replace the coupler, replace the nose, or rebuild the whole supercharger.

The supercharger has no battery.
do not remove your supercharger belt, the engine is set up to work with supercharger. my belt broke on mine and i was told to replace it before i drive it to much
Yes, you can replace the bearing in the cone of a supercharger on a 1993 Pontiac SSEi with a 3.8L engine, but it requires disassembling the supercharger. This involves removing the supercharger from the engine, disassembling it to access the bearings, and then replacing the faulty bearing. It’s important to follow specific procedures and torque specifications during reassembly to ensure proper function. If you're not experienced with such repairs, consulting a professional or referring to a repair manual is recommended.
If your supercharger is an Eaton type supercharger and it is making noise that is an early indication that the supercharger might need a rebuild. A lot of times the noise is actually coming from a little coupler that is located in the inside of the supercharger. This coupler has 6 holes in it and over time these rounded holes will wear out and become an oval shape. Once it becomes oval shape the supercharger will start to make a rattle sound. If left untreated the rattle will lead to the bearings going bad and then the seals. You will then need to get a complete rebuilt done on the supercharger. The coupler is easy to replace. You basically have to take the supercharger noise off with the 6 bolts that holds it and then once the two ends pull a part the coupler will be sitting right there. Just slide the coupler off of the pins and replace it. Then slide the two ends together and bolt it back up. You will also need to refill the supercharger with oil.
You will need to remove the front engine cover, on your 1997 Pontiac Bonneville, in order to change the supercharger belt. Loosen the tensioner pulley to remove the belt.
To change the supercharger oil on a 1997 Oldsmobile LSS, start by locating the supercharger's oil fill plug, usually found on the side of the supercharger unit. Remove the plug and use a pump to extract the old oil from the supercharger reservoir. Once drained, replace it with the appropriate supercharger oil, ensuring it's filled to the correct level as specified in the owner's manual. Finally, reattach the fill plug securely and check for leaks.
Neglect to replace the supercharger oil.
I think if it is not leaking oil yet, you should take it apart to see if the coupler is bad. If the coupler is bad, it is just a $34.00 part and only takes around 1 hour to replace it. Now, if your supercharger is bad, the best thing to do is to source out a rebuilt one.
