ZR1 LT5 Supercharger Conversion Kit

WEAPON-X · 10-05-2018, 10:08 PM

I'll let you guys in on a lil' sumthin sumthin we're working on

as we're in the process of our 2650 blower conversion kit. Hell, the stock configuration with an intake, stock sized griptec pulley, and x pipe put down 725whp!

Stock vs some air flow changes with intake/x pipe

WeaponX850 Package on Mark’s C7 ZR1

Think about what it takes to get an LT4 to that! My ZR1 made 800whp and is the only one in the 9s at 140 MPH with this at about 17 PSI, headers, intake, ported TB etc, stock long block obviously since we don't have access to the PCM

Rest assured heads/cam/ported blower/e85/more pulley etc will put down 1000whp on these cars. One of the reasons this supercharger is so efficient is because the entire lid is full of huge intercooler bricks! And while the aftermarket S/C companies will make units that fit under the hood, that will 1 choke air flow and 2 reduce the area for the intercooler bricks, which means more heat and less power. This one runs hot as it is already and we've done some amazing things to reduce that heat, like our composite lid spacer which drops the lid temps by over 30*, which keeps that conductive heat out of the supercharger coolant.

I won't be retrofitting the GM port system since the PCM isn't unlocked and thus the spare unit is worthless until we get further along in development, but this will be offered with a couple versions of our SPI kit for a complete fuel solution.

This will take a couple of months, so hang in there, but the supercharger is reasonably priced at $6k ish and keep in mind when these blowers start coming off for larger power upgrades, they'll be even cheaper.

That being said, who's excited!!!

19+ ZR1 (LT5) - yes, TVS2650 and PFI injectors (8) along with the 8 DI injectors

Fraxum · 10-06-2018, 07:57 AM

Now this is really cool.

I did not know the ZR1 had both injectors.

So you are saying that 725 is basically a bolt-on with a 95 TB no porting and a tune with no long tubes?

Will you have a kit?

RDBill · 10-06-2018, 08:15 AM

Will it fit under our stock hoods?

No.. look at the cad drawings in the OP's post.

IneedAZ · 10-06-2018, 12:33 PM

I would think a company will start offering a little higher hood insert at some point.

I’m tryong to gain more technical knowledge of supercharged applications so pardon the (possibly) silly question.

What are PFI & DI injectors.

And I’m subscribing to this !

Thank you very much. If I’m not mistaken that PFI is one of the unique features of the LT5.

What is the difference between DI and PFI

DI is around 2000 PSI and is injected into the cylinder directly (not through intake port).

PFI is “low” pressure ~60 PSI and is injected through the intake ports. This is traditional electronic fuel injection.
