CAMARO6 - View Single Post - 2650 Supercharger is in here - Initial Impressions and WEAPON-X Plans!

WEAPON-X · 01-15-2019, 08:20 PM

So the 2650 came in last week and we're already in the process of making our improvements on it from visual impressions and then we'll see what else we do.

For you guys that want one, I have a half dozen coming in from Edelbrock next month!

Pros:

Really well constructed unit
Impressed with intercooler size
Impressed with the attempted intercooler flow with a -12 inlet and -10 outlets
102 MM inlet for larger throttle bodies
Port Injection bungs - just need opened

Cons:

Biggest issue is the choke point for the air flow above the lid. There is VERY little room for the compressed air to make a 180° turn to go back down into the runners
Driver side intercooler outlet has to make FOUR 90° turns to get out of the coolant manifold vs. the Passenger side has to make just one big sweeping bend
Need to measure, but I think we'll have to blend the inlet to get the last MM for the NW 103 TBs
Need to open up the port injection holes

WEAPON-X Plans:

Lid Spacer to provide more artificial plenum volume over the IC brick for improved airflow down into the runners
Billet Coolant Manifold with AN fittings for rubber or braided lines and our upcoming dual HX pump setup or the larger Stewart pump setup
Snout/Supercharger porting
Port Injection Modification with our custom billet rails and brackets
Griptec Pulleys from 3.5" down to 2.5"
Custom high flow intercooler brick
Custom Carbon Forged taller lid kit for hood/cowl clearance

Giant dual pass intercooler:

Port Injection:

Lack of plenum volume:

Plenum airflow has to make a 180° turn in this small cavern.
At 15K blower RPM, it's expected to move 1500 CFM
At 18K blower RPM it's 1700 CFM
At 25K blower RPM and more free flowing inlet, Magnuson shows this rotor pack capable of moving 2500 CFM!

So, needless to say we're going to free up a little more space to help this breath more!

Cooling Manifold Adapters:

Four 90° bends to get out on the driver side:

102mm Inlet just needs a little porting
