You may get this question a lot, but are you sure you have a 3400? If it wasn't swapped in, it is either a 3100 or 3300.

pfyc has virtually nothing for pre 99 cars.

If its a 93 like his profile says then its definitly a 3300. 3100 weren't avalible until 1994
To answer the original question, there is basically no aftermarket for these cars. Anything you do will have to be custom.

WAI = Warm Air Intake, gives the car a cool sound and gets more air into the engine.

no that's OK since i cant get a turbo for the car i am going to do a custom front mount cold air intake. i have all of the stuff but i don't have my body kit yet. the reason i sound so stupid is because i do mini trucks and my wife wants a tuner so i figured i would do up her 93 GA. but i don't know where to start i have never owned a car so i never messed with it all my friends like/own minis.

well if your into mini's your probably used to having to fabricate it up, which with a 93, your going to need to do a lot of fabbing.

:agree:
I've pretty much had to make anything I wanted for my car. Since we have pretty much the same car check out my car domain for some ideas to get you going.

OK i have another question what all years did Pontiac make the 3.3L 3300 v6 in. and what all cars did they come in. i also would like to know what is the diff between a gt and a SE in my car. also has anyone here custom built a turbo kit for their GA i want to build one but kinda need a Lil push in that direction i have never dealt with a turbo i don't know how one works. if anyone can help me with any of these questions thanks.

To answer your questions the best way possible, I am going to simply refer you to the engine specific forum for the 3300.

As far as the difference between SE and GT, I will refer you to a specific thread.

There won't be too much about custom 3300 turbo setups, but it can always be found. You may have to broaden your search.

If you desire a cold air intake, use a cone filter in the fender instead. The piping/bending required for a front-mount setup are too convoluted to be effective. Plus those "interfooler" filters look pretty lame.
To be quite honest, it won't be much of a tuner car... there isn't much aftermarket support for your year/engine. The aftermarket bodykits available for the 92-95 look rather gawdy too (especially when they don't fit well) but that's your call.
ok well can i supercharge or turbo this car if so where can i get it. also is the engine in this car a good one.
Neither are available... you would have fabricate your own including fuel mods and a method to tune. The 3300 is a cousin to the 3800. While the engine is fairly strong and durable, the 3 speed auto it is coupled to is the weak point.
Im not sure about the engine but you can get a supercharger a Andysautosport.com its $5000.
Nope. As with most other things on that site, the applications are completely wrong.

Yes.

It was available in 92 and 93 Grand Am's. There were no other Pontiac applications of the 3300. It is a powertrain borrowed from Buick, which is found in several Buick models.
In terms of performance, there is zero difference between a 3300-equipped SE and GT. (both SE and GT could have the FE2 suspension with the 3300 too, FE3 was reserved for the Quad 4 HO GT's only)
Yes, I've seen a couple old pics of someone that made their own turbo setup on their 3300 GA. It isn't just a matter of putting one on, so if that really interests you, there is lots of research to do first.

Cause if you do mini trucks, you shouldn't have a prob fabbing something up.
but, if you want something to just bolt together, yea, go buy a honda.

I made my car a second faster, so they can be made faster. Swap the tranny out for a 4 speed and gain close to another second. You can turbo ANY car basically, you just have to go custom. Knowing your car is a one off with mods others dont have that were CUSTOM made by you is all you need. Who cares if it's faster. My GA is still slow, but the comments and looks I get (From non-Honda boys, that is)is all I need. If I wanna go fast, I hop in the Vibe and beat Hondas all day.
Remember, 'Moded Hondas are like pimples....every teenager has one.' Be different. :)
