TVS2300 anyone?? - Lateral-g Forums

I am looking for something like this. I was leaning towards a Magnacharger TVS2300, but the drive was going to be an issue. How much power can this support and please pm me a price. Does/can Wegner do a custom drive for a Maggie system?

I will let you know. Were doing some work on ultimate power output but it is safe to say the Maggie and Harrop are both the same size and have very similar heat exchanger design, so I believe they will both make the same power BTW, we are MagnaCharger dealers also.

What I truly LOVE about the Harrop / Wegner set up is the position of the jack shaft and the fact it runs off the back side of the balancer instead of extending far forward like the maggie. It seems logical belt tension or belt wrap will not be a issue, meaning less slip, meaning more possible boost.

I am looking at doing a 450ish cubic inch or so set up and putting it on kill. I will probably play with a small shot of nitrous as a added itercooler. Wegner will be building it, but it won't happen tomorrow.

My TVS2300 arrived last week for the 2010 Camaro. Probably install it next week.

Harrop /Maggie /ZR1 if i have understood correct they all are same Eaton units. Just custom drives and inlet pieces by seller ?

But is there really anything wrong with maggie drive vs harrop? I personally like the looks of maggie unit with center tb placement over harrop and ZR1.

Crate LS3+Maggie ,lower price than crate LS7.

Correct, they are all Eaton units. Lower intake manifolds, snout/pulley/throttle arrangements are custom. Performance wise, they are the same.

I prefer the looks of the Maggie myself. The Harrop probably puts less stress on the crankshaft snout, but it has that rear pulley deal which may cause clearance issues on a car like my Chevelle that has limited firewall clearance. Also, air temps are an issue with both of these blowers, not for a strong street deal, but for a track car or high hp build they may not be ideal. I'm re-thinking selling my turbo setup.

Guess that is why the for sale thread disappeared

. Boy it sure was cool to look at and dream though. Nothing like an ultra clean turbo setup...and Nelson stuff to boot

. Guess I can take my fleabay ad down now where I was trying to whore myself out to purchase your turbo setup

But are they really? Ofcourse unit itself is a huge junk on metal wich heats up but how about building custom - as wide as possible - cooler for the water in front of the car ? I think personally at broblem is usually too small units due "must be bolt" reasons for newer cars.

Looks fantastic with the IF wheels. Keep us posted on the intall. I'm real curious what you think of the car with the added rwhp.
