Default ECS Supercharger Swap C6 --> C7

As the title states, can it be done?

I'm debating down the road when I get rid of the C6 of taking the Novi 1500 I have on it currently (2010 LS3) and transplanting it into a C7. I know anything "can" be done but is it easily done or does everything have to start from scratch from a cost standpoint?

There is only one thing that can be swapped and that is the head unit. It will need to have the dipstick and vent swapped and also the drain clocked. Unfortunately nothing else will work other then some hose clamps. Even the head unit pulley will need to be changed. If you have a later kit using a tial blow off the tial could be re used.

Sorry for the bad news. The C7 kit is vastly different but on the other hand a breeze to install compared to the C5 orC6.

The supercharger head unit would be one of the only things that you can swap over.. The brackets, intercooler, everything else is specific to C7...

However, if you are looking C7 we can always work out a deal with your C6 kit and swapping you into C7 kit. You have my cell

Hey Noferatu, you might be better off demodding the C6 and sell the supercharger outright. I would use that money towards the new C7supercharger......just an idea. By the way, Brandenton has an Outlaw Event going on this weekend. Therefore, the test and tune was canceled on the 23rd. So, I will be shooting for the 30th this time.
