Extra tools to buy for a TVS2300 install? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

redZ28 · 08-03-2010, 07:01 AM

I've had my TVS2300 sitting in the corner of the garage for a month now. I wanted to drive my 2011 2SS A6 for a while to flush out any warranty bugs (none found) before installing the goodies.

I plan to install the supercharger myself in a couple of weeks, and was wondering what extra items I should buy to make the install easier. I have most of the following items already, but thought I should check with the experienced folks here to see what other specialty items are either needed or are just really handy.

1. cooler spark plugs
2. clamp removal tool
3. flywheel-holding tool
4. small torque wrench (in-lb)
5. large torque wrench (ft-lb)
6. tub for collecting antifreeze
7. right-angle drill
8. cheater bar
9. ramps
10. six-pack of beverage of choice

redZ28,
You have everything you are going to need to do the install plus all of the tools that are nice to have to make the job easier. As far as the cooler spark plugs go, if you have a stock car and are going to be running the normal 6 psi of boost with our tune, they are not needed. We design our systems to work with all factory equipment.

The more I think about it the more I want the Magnuson - Does Magnuson offer factory Installation

Thanks Jon. I have the 3.6" pulley, but no other modifications. Would you recommend the cooler plugs with the boost from a 3.6" pulley?

That is definitely a question I would talk to your tuner about, but I have seen plenty of guys running 3.6" pulleys with stock plugs.

You will need a torque angle gauge for the crank bolt

I just finished up the install of my E-Force and I've got to say the single most helpful tool was a cable operated hose clamp tool. There are lots of tight places where hose clamps are and that tool made it a piece of cake.

Got mine from Sears: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00947390000P

Our schedule is full, we have plenty of Authorized installers locally that we can put you with. We spend allot of time choosing who we allow to install our equipment, you can be assured of the quality.

FYI, know Hennessey has opened an install facility in So Cal as well.
