West Coast Corvette Performance is
fast becoming known as THE place to go for your C5 supercharger
purchases and installations. WCC has modified and improved upon the
standard available systems with amazing results.
This custom system is exclusive to West Coast Corvette. It was designed
and refined, by us, for improved performance, reliability and
simplicity. The Vortech S Trim or SC Trim head unit is used in
conjunction with our custom made intercooler, bracket assembly and duct
work.
Our exclusive bracket assembly is a departure from other
designs. It is rigidly mounted at FIVE points to assure the
supercharger will not move about under the high loads it is subjected
to. Our bracket plates are CNC machined from 5/8" 6061 aluminum and
then broached on both sides to assure absolute flatness. This is
crucial for accurate belt alignment. All our pulley spacers are also
CNC machined and the pulley alignment is actually double checked with a
laser aligner. A NEW tensioner is mounted next to the crankshaft pulley
in a reverse fashion with a smooth 3", double bearing pulley. This
pulls the belt around the crankshaft pulley by over 180 degrees and
routes it straight up to the supercharger via dual idler pullies. The
new sliding idler increases belt wrap on the blower pulley almost to
the point where the belt touches itself on the other side. This allows
for the most belt wrap possible. Ours is the only system that increases
belt contact area on the blower pulley AND the crankshaft pulley. The
belt is considerably shorter with our system and there are no long runs
of unguided belt to eliminate unwanted belt "whip". The extra wrap on
the crankshaft and blower pulleys all but eliminate belt slippage.(We
also offer a full set of 8 rib pulleys for higher horsepower
applications, if desired)
Total tubing length from supercharger to intercooler is
kept to a minimum and is increased to 3" diameter. The intercooler
outlet is 3 1/2" as is the powdercoated, mandrel bent tubing connecting
the intercooler to the throttle body.
Our exclusive molded inlet duct allows us to draw the
intake air over the top of the radiator WITHOUT laying the radiator
down at a steep angle. This greatly improves cooling and intercooler
efficiency. A custom aluminum one piece shroud seals in the air filter
and intercooler, while showing off the powdercoated tubing, silicone
couplers and polished stainless steel clamps. The entire area under the
shroud, in front of the radiator, is enclosed with aluminum panels to
ensure that the air stream is forced through the radiator and
intercooler, rather than escaping around the sides. NO CUTTING OR
MODIFYING of the factory shrouds, upper or lower radiator supports is
necessary. This system is much easier to install than previous designs.
A NEW LARGER air filter allows cool, unrestricted air to enter the supercharger.
The air dam is mounted on custom brackets that angle it forward in
order to "scoop" up the air as the car moves forward, ensuring more air
is forced through the radiator and intercooler. This is very important
at speed!
Stainless "T Band" clamps and bright silicone couplers
ensure a clean professional look. All our brackets and spacers are
professionally "show" polished as is the supercharger itself. This is
one system that looks as good as it performs!
Our system also allows you to retain the factory dual cooling fans and brake ducts.
The system is very complete and NOW INCLUDES 60# injectors, upgraded fuel pump, and upgraded billet blowoff valve (BOV)
* Larger superchargers such as the T Trim or YSI Trim head units are available for large CID forged engines.
** Silicone couplers are available in a variety of colors upon request
Package price including installation and tuning $8695.00
