Default LS3 Corvette Supercharger

MTI Racing now has the Magnacharger TVS2300 for the LS3 Corvette.

The Magnuson Model TVS2300 6th Generation is a “State of the Art” supercharger. It was designed as a compact, flexible supercharger for increased power with original equipment quietness and reliability without adversely affecting fuel economy. The TVS2300 6th Generation has proven itself in a number of original equipment and aftermarket applications on a variety of engine sizes. This version has taken this versatility to the next level with new 4-lobe, high helix rotor design and a built in bypass for unparalleled performance.

System Benefits:

Power. The Magna Charger system, with its Roots design, provides substantial power increase: 150 bhp with stock LS3. High manifold pressure produced at low engine RPM provides significantly more low end and mid-range torque compared to centrifugal superchargers. Magnuson's unique intercooler design, built into the intake manifold base (patent pending), lowers charge air temperature up to 100F to increase power.

Reliability. Internal Magna Charger components are manufactured by Eaton, the world's leading OEM supercharger supplier, and ensure bulletproof reliability. Our testing confirms that this is the only supercharger system capable of 100,000 mile durability.

Drivability. Expert engine management calibration provides perfect street manners, eliminating engine-damaging detonation and maintaining excellent fuel economy and emission compliance. Fuel Economy. During low-load cruising conditions, the supercharger's internal bypass allows the rotors to spin freely, reducing parasitic drag to less than one-third of one horsepower. Fuel mileage is normally within 1/2 to 1 mpg less than stock.


Magna Charger’s new TVS2300 supercharger technology is the same used for the new ZR1 Corvette. The four-lobe rotor features a high-twist 160? helix that has improved efficiency (less power to drive), cooler discharge temperatures and is much quieter. Additional efficiency is the result of the unique bypass valve that reduces parasitic drag during normal driving.

Pricing:
Black TVS2300 $6,995
Chrome TVS2300 $8,095
We have these systems in stock and ready to ship.

his is the TVS2300 installed on a 2010 Grand Sport. This car ended up with 515rwhp.

No, the hood has to be changed for clearance.

Check out this hood...

Do you offer two different hoods? One without the front reverse scoop?

Yes. But the mail-order system advertised above comes with the handheld programmer that you can tune and modify yourself.
It makes install very simple.

Ah... I see what you mean. Good catch. I got the Red picture from the LPE site. All the SV4 hoods we've received have had the venting. But...I wonder if a non-vented version exists. I tried calling LPE, but nobody answered for now. I would guess that they are at the LSX Shootout. I'll get you an answer on Monday.

My issue with those is the inability to use a stock hood. I don't really like the clear hoods. I'm thinking that the Edelbrock supercharger may be the way to go.

Although, I'm still considering this one...

Many different hoods avalible. I just talk to somone who has a Edelbrock, He had cooling issues, he had to upgrade to a high flow radiator, added cost,We live in sunny Fla. He said the power was great! The hood is an added cost though....I myself will do a "maggie" when the funding is complete...The maggie I believe has more cooling in the supercharger,Lower inlet temps.

Yep,

It's a big purchase so I want to make sure that I have all my ducks in a row before I pull the trigger. I have likes and dislikes for each system. Some of them would probably seem trivial to most folks. I'm still in the wait and see mode at this time. I would like to hear of issues that anyone has with either system...big deciding factor for me.

A radiator upgrade with any supercharger install is a common upgrade. Don't let that drive your supercharger decision.

I couldn't help but notice what appears to be a heavily trimmed black plastic baffle in front of the heat exchanger. Maybe I'm ever so slightly off topic here but can you talk to that mod and it's benefits?

I am not sure if I would want to cut the radiator shroud like that and leave it there. The reason I say this is because the purpose of the shroud is to direct cooling air through the radiator. If the hole is there, pressurized air when the car is at speed will seek the path of least resistance, if that happens the heat from the radiator will not be removed. Just my personal opinion of course.

We were test-fitting different configurations. That picture was taken prior to making the airbox enclosure. A sealed airbox is what is you want.

Okay,
so I have the information on the different hood scoops...

The White hood is the SV4. The SV4 has the reverse scoop.

The Red hood is an SV3. No reverse scoop.

BOTH hoods can be ordered with a "window".

The EForce has an advantage with being able to use the stock hood vs the Maggie. Might not be as much of an advantage if you have to upgrade the radiator with the EForce. I don't know what a radiator upgrade costs and have heard the EForce is more expensive to buy. I have $1300 in my hood with paint. I've been running a Maggie, with stock radiator, on my LS3 vette for about a year and a half now. I'm located west of Houston, TX. It gets HOT here. I've been through two hot a$$ed summers with my Maggied LS3 and have had absolutely no heating issues. It just runs and runs hard when asked. Great power from idle on up.

Whiteshark, we'll be at the Texas Mile next week with a 1000hp Z06 running a TVS2300.

Motorhead, are you coming to Texas Mile?

This "old motorhead" won't be able to make it. The wife has some medical issues that we have to work through. I've had that event on my list for a while now. It's not that far from me, yet I've never found the time to take it in. Need to change that! You guys have fun and be safe
