A TVS2300 (6th Generation) won't work on your application at all. The problem is on TVS superchargers, the cylinder head port is based on LS9, L92 or LS3.
The difference between LS9 and (L92/LS3) heads is the type of material. LS9 heads were designed to handle higher boost, because they used a different type of material. Can you install an LS9 head on LS1 block? No. The bore size is smaller on LS1 as compared to L92/LS3.


I do have a complete Harrop TVS2300 with Wegner accessory drive and all the accessories for sale, but it is for an L92/LS3/LS9 port. Yes, it work in 67-69 Camaro. I switched to LS9 Supercharger setup. The Wegner accessory drive has 2 different sizes of pulley. The small pulley is designed for engines that have custom forged pistons, crank, etc. I tested mine at 15psi in 2009. While the larger pulley is designed for stock engines. 8 psi.

Magnacharger did design an LS1 TVS2300 supercharger kiit. The kit is described as a Hybrid TVS2300, but Magnacharger must have modified the kit with different ports. That kit is only 6psi.... If you pulled this from another car, then it is better to build around a fresh engine.

Good Results on the TVS2300 LS3 engine.

Definitely max'ed out on the fuel pump at that power level. It's time for a CTS-V and a PWM controller.

Very nice setup. Magnuson cars are a riot to drive.

Just a little fyi but Harrop does make the 1900 and 2300 TVS units for a cathedral port head. The only style TVS they make that doesn't work on that head design is the new FDFI style.

Josh,

I didn't look up Harrop, when I posted the reply. The poster main concern is cost, and he has 2004 GTO LS1 (pullout). The stock accessory drive won't work, so he has to get an accessory drive that will work. Wegner never developed for TVS2300, only LS3 and LS7 engines. One thing that I am glad that I did on my LS3 engine was the oil squirters, because I wanted my engine to last.

Haha, I'm a cheap SOB. A new engine would definitely be out of the question. I might start building an engine at some point in time but not now. I don't have the money to get a supercharger at the moment anyway. BUT I am trying to make sure that if the right used deal comes up I'll know what will work and what won't.
