I already have holes in my hood so one more won't hurt

KPE! As you know, I'm absolutely interested in the TVS1900 top-mount. In fact, I've been researching the project for many months now. I also have the MPD1 Z-Force hood, so clearance shouldn't be an issue...in fact, this project is the reason I purchased the MPD1 hood in the first place. I've also been looking into a couple 'active' interchiller designs for fighting the heat, as well as methanol injection, but can't commit to anything until I've got a plenum to play with.

Oh Justin, would you powder coat it blue to match the wicked wrap?

Not sure if this is the right SC but I did a search on Google and this image came up , granted it's a V8 but it fits under the hood . That's a Gen5 Camaro.

Hope it fits under the hood.

If i'm not mistaken the V6 actually sits higher in the engine bay, thats why some strut bars don't work with the V6. The top mount will most likely require a new hood or some hole cut to fit the TVS1900. Like I said though, KPE, you let me know when to get the hack saw out and we'll make this happen

Top mounts on V8's put the intercooler/plenum in the valley between the cylinder heads. They are 90 degrees, the V6 is 60 degrees and the cylinder heads are much closer. There is also fuel rails and injectors there.

Thanks,

KPE is going to team up with Will at Overkill Motorsports for the tuning aspect of the Supercharger kits! Should have some solid tunes from the get go, and great support!

We are also talking about re-tuning options for those with IPF tunes. Stay watching for more info.

Also...anyone near Sarasota or Tampa with an LFX Camaro???? :-)

Jason, will it fit under the hood, or will it need modifying, the hood that is?

crc91 · 07-27-2016, 10:02 PM

I'd be interested in a TVS kit. Currently looking at buying a second engine and getting it opened up, forged and stroked. If this kit comes to fruition, I'd love to see how far my forged and stroked LFX can take the TVS or the vortech kit! 500 rwhp here I come!
