ECS - Lysholm Supercharger Build Thread
 

As many of you already know, we turned to Air Power Group (Vortech/Paxton/Lysholm) to provide us with our record-breaking Paxton Novi centri-superchargers for our own supercharger kits. Working with our awesome rep over at Paxton, Jimmy Martz, he has provided us an awesome positive displacement supercharger kit, the Lysholm Twin-Screw!

I must say that I am overall impressed with the Lysholm kit. Very nice setup for all of the plastic molded components, no rough edges, etc. Comes with all brass fittings (Instead of plastic fittings) for all of the hose barbs. Also includes a really nice heat exchanger with a thick core. This exchanger reminds me of the upgraded Cobra/GT500 heat exchangers available through numerous aftermarket companies. Not like the thin core exchangers we have been used to seeing for the 5th Gen's! The MAF tube is a nice fabricated aluminum housing with the proper fixtures.

Tommy over here is installing a Lsyholm kit on a 2011 Camaro SS right now. I will keep this thread updated with build pictures and final dyno
results.

2010 Camaro SS
- Lysholm 2.3L Supercharger Kit
- ARH 1 7/8" Longtube Headers with High-Flow Cats
- Corsa Sport Axle Back
- 160* Thermostat
- NGK TR6 Spark Plugs
- Kenne Bell BAP 40Amp

Best looking PD blower setup IMO

Honestly, Tommy & I are really psyched about the heat exchanger and the air intake system. Both are definitely a huge improvement over some of the other PD systems.

matt what is the volume on that blower? doesn't the lysholm come in 3.3L? I am about to swap my 2.8 for a 3.6 KB or the Lysholm once I get good info. Any updates are appreciated.

This one is a 2.3L (2300) version. I will have to inquire with Jimmy to be honest about the 3.3L (3300). I know they do make a full kit for the 03-04 Cobras & 07-09 GT500's (Which are on a fantastic sale right now if you have a buddy with a Ford!) with the 3300 chargers. I will find this information out and get back to you.

More build pics !!

Looks impressive. I cant wait to see and hear this car run .

That looks sweet!!!

More pics !

Hopefully I will start tuning this one later today. Guys that know me personally know that I'm not a twin screw fan (flame suit on) but this one actually has me excited to get out there and tune it. :thumbsup:

Tuners, this one has the MAF set up correctly so no driving yourself crazy with incorrect MAF readings!!

I feel the ducting is made correctly, and the HP capabilities should be where they need to be. Like Matt already said, the heat exchanger is HUGE! It's just a well thought out set up. We will keep you guys informed on what we find shortly!! (good or bad!)




Doug @ ECS :)

Subscribed. Looking forward to the results. Hopefully I will be throwing a supercharger on next year sometime. Just can't decide which!

Just about final round of pics... Next post will have the dyno video & sheets :)

We're going to be dyno'ing the 3.65" pulley and the 3.25" pulley.

EXCITING!!!!

What's the rest of the story? LS3? Mods to the motor?

Interesting....
