Not a frontier/roots style but we have the centrifugal kits for ours.

Then again i wonder if it might be compatible with the 3.0 maybe just maybe they have similar LIM bolt patterns but then you'd have to worry about hood clearence ......but then you could swap that supercharger for the gen 5 m90 and make swap a 2.8 pulley voila 450+hp VQ

^ hood clearance would be an issue, also since the sc is centered...you'd prolly have contact with the TC so a custom LIM blah, blah. Also getting the belt to the sc with a motor mount in the way would be a pita.

I thought about this for a while. I think it could work if you really wanted it to. Hood clearance would probably be an issue, and you would have to fab up a collector to the lowing intake as well as add some idler pulleys and get the belt up that high...try it, be a pioneer! oh and btw, I have one if you want to buy it...I'll sell it for cheap!

You don't want that supercharger even if you could make it work. Roots style superchargers (traditional ones, not screw-type like the ones people UPGRADE to) aren't very efficient and the one on the VG33ER is an M62, which is WAY too small for a 3.0L. The M90 (i.e. Grand Prix GTP or anything else with an L67/L32 motor) is still too small in my opinion. An M112, if you must use roots type, is the best option. Very big, though.

^^^^no..

The m62 was standard on GM 3.8's it was replaced with the m90, you have some GTP's with m90's running 11 flat also keep in mind were iron block and heads and using pushrods and the heads wont flow nearly the amount of a VQ, throw a m90 on a VQ and you will make sick power guranteed, even on the high end sure it will take some hp but nearly as much as will help produce....

question is will the 3.3 LIM bolt on to the VQ?? if it will then problemm solved

or you can do as i stated before, Make a mount and run a charge pipe to the intake. It has been done with the m90 before on a car with less clearance.
