Has anyone on here used this blower? Does anyone make anything like this for non-vortec heads? This one looks intercooled, but a non-intercooled one might clear a stock thirdgen hood...

 

it is a magnuson.and i think its for a 96+ vortech non ls series motor. im pretty sure.

 

I know that, I'm wondering if anyone has strapped one of these to a vortec head equipped thirdgen.

 

Do it do it do it do it

 

exactly

 

so if you get some Fastburns, that blower will fit on GEN I sbc motor and make power?


hummm.... gives me an idea... bwahhaahahahaha!!!


ok now for technical stuff. How will you hook up CAI? will stock computer handle that? what about EGR and emissions/ fuel regulator?

 

Emissions, you'd probably be screwed, yes you could make it work with the stock ECM, you'd likely need to fab a new TB housing to bolt to the back of it and bring the TB around towards the front, and fab up a CAI.

 

Prolly wouldn't clear the dist or cowl.

Make it work with stock ecm? Sure by running code from a sy-ty if he's on a '730.

Save your money and buy a centrifigul.

An aftermarket coil setup would solve the distributor, or if im not mistaken it could be bolted to an LT1 using LT4 heads with no troubles, and a different tb adapter would bring the tb around towards the front and easily clear the cowl.

 

Why spend all that money and time on a blower with really low efficiency?

Doesn't seem very logical to me.

And I dont think it will work on LT4 heads..

Im quite sure LT4 has the same port location / spacing as the Vortec design, its been discussed in the LT1 intake threads, it should be possible to use a LT4 manifold modified like the LT1's on Vortec heads.

Some people just really want the low end torque of that setup....

I didnt say it was worthwhile or something i'd do, he just asked if it could be done.

 

yeah, its different and i like the look of those kinda of blowers than centrifugal
