Supercharger Upgrade vs Create LSA

[OSH1360]

ok, so i have a series 2 ssv redline in auto, and lets just say i have a budget of 15k for upgrates.


have a few options:
- LSA create engine, use my bolt ons, get some extractors and HF cats a mate it up to my standard exhaust and a ECU remap
- Tekno Perfomance stage 3 upgrade (harrop FIDI1900 charger), and seeing if they can mate up the xforce extractors and cats to my standard exhaust
- Walkingshaw WP2300 supercharger package (its a bigger supercharger, but doesn't come with an exhaust)


really, at the end of the day the exercise is to fit a supercharger, not for high HP gains.



what are peoples thoughts? suggestions?

Hey OSH;
Seeing that you're in Adelaide have a look at KPM, they do a 1900 supercharger pack for under your 15k. Would suit your current mods better than the WP2300, depending on what else, heads/cam etc down the track.

LSA isn't going to fit nicely in that engine bay without some work done due to the geometry of the engine. There's a write up out there of what was required to shoe horn it into the Gen F GTS.
I'd go the Magnuson Heartbeat if I had your coin to spend. Do it right, do it proper.

Magnusson Heartbeat FTW!

Do you have a link to the writeup? Thank you.

Besides its supercharged LSA 6.2 litre V8, the GTS has different subframe mountings, different transmissions, a rear subframe borrowed the Camaro ZL1#(which is also the source of the engine) and a brake package that’s exclusive to the GTS.

I'd be fitting either a heartbeat or harrops revised set up. Both are a simple process. Fitting an LSA may turn out to be rather costly and a bit of a pain.

My ls3 vf2 got the Harrop 1900 supercharger pack from Tekno.
500kw daily drive.
The 2300 Harrop doesn't come with driveline warranty, and the LSA won't fit without major changes.
LSA GTS only pump 430 anyway.

I wound stick with the baby blower as your car is auto. Tune for a nice 350 -380 rwkw. The gearbox will thank you

If it was manual I would go the 2300 and smash the boost in

The GTS hits a similar power figure as yours with a stage 1 tune from most shops. It's like for like except for all of the other engineering upgrades to the driveline, suspension, brakes, wheels, etc.
