Magnuson TVS2650 Magnum DI install - 2018 Camaro SS
 

And so it begins, helping my son swap the non intercooled TVS2300 on his 2018 Camaro SS for a Magnum DI TVS2650...

With a bit of luck it will be running again by the holiday!

Awesome. Kid is learning alot doing this stuff :)

Mine will be right behind it as we intend to install it Saturday. Good that Mike is doing his first and will pass along any details along to me for my install. This is the first SS and mine the second although several vets and at least 1 Zl1 are getting finished up. Awesomeness is on its way for all of us.

Mike Jr is one smart guy, I think he's working on his engineering degree.

Best of luck to both of you with your new 2650 installs! :headbang:

Fingers are crossed twice. Should be good to go.

Do you have to change the hood to accommodate this blower?

Following. Interested to see how this turns out.

Clears the C7 Z06, Gen6 SS and Zl1 without any cutting or replacing the hood. You do have to replace the valve covers or modify the current covers. We had to widen the intercoolers to lower the stance for hood clearance.

Where we ended up yesterday - bolted down and almost ready to run, just need to finish the intercooler water system today.

He's a fanatic, his other car is a 73 Maverick passed to him from my dad 5 years ago. Did a total overhaul and just got it running this year.

Always looking to keep the younger generations interested. Did a lot for me to keep a wrench in my hand when I was young, can't say it kept me out of trouble, but it defiantly kept me out of the bigger trouble that I could have gotten into...

Tuning underway on my son's completely stock 2018 Camaro SS LT1 with Magnum DI TVS2650. Only mod on this car is the Magnum DI TVS2650 blower - running CA's (Chevron) 91 octane. Otherwise the car is stock right down to the factory paper air filter.

This is the best power pull so far, I doubt that there is any more this in stock setup, but it is a nice improvement over the TVS2300 (550 RWHP). Might try a bottle of Octane Booster to see what that will yield.

Have some work to finish in the mid-rpm range, but looking forward to some track testing!

I just don't care for the torque that it gives up for a street car. Sure at WOT above 5k rpm it definitely makes more steam, but when you are part throttle torqueing the engine through the gears I don't see an advantage here. Midrange is very important imo for a street car. If only this unit was keeping the torque up around 570 avg while still pulling 600whp.

Another thing to note is power loss from shift extension. All gears except 3-4 on a A8 drop back to around 5k rpm with a 64-6500rpm shit. So you would be dropping down to 510whp/528wtq on the gear changes. M6 cars would be even lower. I would think a 2300 making 540/550 would be just as fast. In for track times.

That blower has at least a 105mm pulley and spinning the blower at a pretty low speed. I personally want less torque on the street and more torque at the track. Hard to not spin the tires if you had equal tq/hp. I will be on the dyno in the next week so we can see what mine makes but I'm thinking it will be respectable compared to most blowers out there. I ran 9.83@141 on a 68 degree day and DA of about 500 with my 2300 and I ran 9.77@142 on a 92 degree day and over 3000 DA on less boost, less timing, less meth, slick track so I don't think the 2300 will be comparable to the 2650 at the track with the same combination like mine. We had to pull timing out down low because of track conditions being over 130 degrees. So right now I'm the only one that just took off the 2300 and put on the 2650 and went to the track. Dyno's mean nothing compared to track times. I've been out run by many on the dyno but I've put up much better numbers at the track. Dyno's are for tuning and are a valuable asset but there is nothing like seeing that time slip to prove every dyno wrong. Mike was simply showing the numbers the Camaro made up to where the fuel system said, nope that's it, no shady numbers, no BS. So all the critics will eventually see what we have to offer with the new 2650 so be prepared to get rolled.
