Yes.. and yes. LS engines can handle a lot. SuperCharger + Cam + Full Exhuast can get you 600+WHP.

 

It's late already here in North America and I think many will comment in the morning. I also have a 2007 6L LS2 A6 but I'm a recreational Corvette user and I'm happy and content with the car as is. As far as boosting power goes I've seen the claims from Edelbrock and ProCharger forced induction supercharging and 550 Horsepower is easily achievable I would think that any more than that would require installing some more robust engine components. I think that the stock A6 can handle that power as well but any more and it would need to be beefed up too. Check out those web sites for details. The Edelbrock supercharger kit comes with a tuner and tunes so no need to have a tuner work on it, just a competent mechanic can do the installation. The Edelbrock kit will also give you 550HP with the stock fuel pump but higher power will require replacing the fuel pump, a major expense and a big job especially with an A6 transmission. For more details go to the Edelbrock and Pro Charger web sites. Incidentally I have fooled around with tuners with my own vag car and purchased my own Ross-Tech VAGCom to play with. There is only so much you can do with 2 Liters. I love the Corvette since there is no replacement for displacement

 

1. Absolutely YES. I have had an Edelbrock E-Force supercharger on my daily driver 2007 6.0L A6 convertible for almost six years. With 600hp at the crank and a probable 480 rwhp, it is both very fast and very drivable. It's a boulevard cruiser that can transform itself into a snarling dragon in the blink of an eye. The bottom end of LS engines (crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, etc.) are barely stressed at its not-quite-5psi boost pressure. I've read of LS engines boosted to 10psi and more that reliably produce over a thousand horsepower. Those are no longer street machines, but that's another matter.

2. The A6 transmission can and should be tuned along with the engine if a supercharger or turbocharger system is installed. The details depend very much on which forced induction (FI) system is installed. There are a few things I was told not to do, such as simply flooring the gas when in D on the freeway. That typically would force four rapid downshifts under full 600 bhp, which would qualify as abuse. Instead I was told to put it in S and paddle shift back to 2 or 3 before nailing it. I quickly learned how not to overstress it. It now has 126,000 miles and runs very well.

I would recommend you research the various types of boost systems that are available, and also the availability of shops qualified to install and tune them near you. In the hands of inexperienced and unqualified people, this upgrade could go horribly wrong in a hurry. Incidentally, the Edelbrock is the only supercharger system I know of that fits under the stock hood, which is a very serious consideration.

Good luck.

 

thank you very much guys
the car i'm interested of is alredy with some mods
borla exhaust system
supercharger don't know witch one
Pistons
cams
crank
and some more stuff that i dont know

 

Not sure how hot it gets in Isreal, but if it gets hot like in Texas heat soak can be a problem if you track or run the car very hard. An upgrade for the cooling system may be necessary. The Eldebrock roots style system will give you more power in the lower RPM range. If you go for a centrifical supercharger like Procharger the power is more on top.

 

its very very hot in il thx for the advice

 

Interesting that you live in Israel , but can't spell Israel.

 

I noticed that to thinking it was a simple typo. I also noticed that a car he's looking at already has a supercharger and mods already done to the car , but doesn't mention the horsepower it has........hmm

 

My English is not that good
buy the way I didn't but the car yet all my information on the car is from the seller and is not giving to me to much information he said that the car make on the Dyno 470rwhp

 

Short term boost, the LS2 can be pushed a little over 750HP with a centrifugal super charger.

When you start pushing over that amount for long terms boost instead (lots of long high speed runs over 150mph), then it time to bullet proof not only the motor, but the drive line too.

As for roots or centrifugal super charger, with the new TVS 2650 on the market, both with get you there, with the TVS-2650 having more HP from idle to mid range instead (about even from mid range upwards).

As for setting up the car for high speed work, you have to remember that the Vet has lift at high speed, so when you modding the car for more power for high speed runs, you want to work on the aerodynamics as well to create some down force on the car as well.


Truth be told, for where you are at, with the max speed limits being 120K (75mph), hopped up c6 will fit the bill nicely. If you where going to run the car on the autobahn, where you can average 150 to 200 mph if not caught up in traffic instead, then a Audi R8-V10 would be the better starter car to hop up instead. Great handling it already has (no lift), so this just leaves the motor for a super or turbo chargers to push the motor up to around 800hp instead.

 

If you'e serious about 900whp, then you will need to do a lot of work to the trans and engine. 900 whp is a LOT.

 

my last car was a 2007 seat leon 6 speed manual fwd with fully built engine with gtx 3076 turbo and tons of more mods, the car make on the dyno 500 whp in 36 psi so all the reason for buing amrican v8 is to make more power, not 900whp but for start i like to make650-800 whp
