Hi all, attended the car show in Sydney today - just about every Holden there was supercharged in one form or another.

Saw an interesting setup for the LS1 from Harrop.
They have a new manifold that has a pulley and shaft that goes through the valley out to the back. From the back, this pulley drives a "backwards" supercharger using an idler tensioner. Very nice setup.

Upload

In addition, they have a water to air intercooler setup that has a core in each half of the intake manifold, pumping out to a heat exchanger at the front of the car. Nice compact way to intercool a roots blower.

Upload

What are your thoughts on such a kit? and Neil, seeing as you have done a bunch of supercharger kits, what are your thoughts on such a setup, or more specifically, do you think you could fit the cores into your intake manifold?

Todd,
That rear drive system has been around for a long time mate..:-)
As for the cooler cores,,YES,,I have tried to have some installed in the Manifold (But we have a starter in the middle of the V,,LS1 doesnt)
I'm working on another setup for cooling :-)

How much of a rise Neil? And what how much extra boost would you believe is reasonable possible with the addition?

"Power Bulge" is ok with me. No bonnet scoops or anything though, it's not a damn Holden.
