C7 Procharger Installation Pdf
Bolt On Kit Provides 40-45%+ More HP!Building on a 20-year history of forced induction engineering and innovation, ProCharger was the first supercharger manufacturer to design and release a highly efficient air-to-air intercooled supercharger system for the C7 Corvette Stingray. With an original bracket design and belt-drive system unique to the C7 Stingray platform, ProCharger P-1SC-1 intercooled systems and tuner kits continue to lead the industry in OEM-style fit and finish, ease of installation, and reliable performance.ProCharger C7 Corvette Stingray HO Intercooled Systems with P-1SC-1 are supplied with proven tuning calibrations and a handheld programmer set for a 40%+ power gain over stock, on 7 psi of boost and pump gas. Higher boost levels and horsepower gains of up to 50% are possible with professional custom tuning, and even higher with modified motors.
For hyper-custom racing builds, F-Series supercharger models up to the 10.5” volute (F-1X and F-2) can be installed without the need for additional brackets.Bracket System - Starting from GM engine CAD models, ProCharger created a one-piece billet design utilizing existing, robust mounting points on the LT-1 motor for maximum holding force. This system will firmly hold head units ranging in size from a P-1SC-1 up to an F-2 head unit.No relocation of any OEM parts is needed-no fluid systems are opened up, and the ABS module and lines stay in the factory location. This not only speeds up the install, but it also ensures that all factory braking, cooling, and oiling systems on the car work just as GM intended.Using a patented crank pulley design, we are able to secure a 8.125' supercharger drive pulley onto the factory harmonic balancer, without having to drop the steering rack or pin the crank.
The ProCharger crank pulley works by using a system of 'cam-locks' to securely grip the factory balancer, taking the load off the crank bolt, and ensuring years of service without worry.Combining this 8.125' crank pulley with a multi-position, fixed idler near the supercharger pulley, the system was designed for maximum belt wrap. This ensures maximum belt traction as the power levels of these systems get pushed well beyond the factory 7 psi system offering.With the best belt wrap possible, ProCharger's tensioner is unique in design in that its not only spring loaded, but also allows the customer to add as much pre-load adjustment as they want into the belt. This tensioner has already been proven to support 1300+HP when used with dedicated 8-rib belts, so handling the factory 7 psi is no stress at all.This system was designed to be the easiest Corvette supercharger system install we have ever offered (4-5 hour install time), and you can change the pulley and 8-rib belt without removing the bracket or the supercharger.Intercooler System - GM spent a great deal of time on the airflow design of this new C7, from the front fascia to the inlets for the coolers on the rear fenders.

With this in mind, ProCharger decided that an intercooler specifically designed for the C7’s horsepower and cooling needs was in order.Starting with a fresh core design, the cross flow section of the intercooler core was increased in size to eliminate pressure drop as much as possible, while retaining cooling capacity. Understanding that flexibility in the intercooler mounting would be welcomed by Corvette performance enthusiasts, ProCharger is offering intercooler systems with either Vertical Mount (standard in the 1GU212 kits) or optional Horizontal Mount (. Horizontal intercooler is not available for Corvette C7's equipped with a factory front mounted transmission cooler), both with an astounding 972 cubic inches of core volume. Both intercooler options come with only two pieces of preformed-silicone charge tubing–from the supercharger to the intercooler, and the intercooler to the throttle body.

This helps create the best airflow possible, and also eliminates any chance of rattles or vibrations caused by metal tubing. The vertical intercooler is recommended for drag racing use, and provides greatest effectiveness and coolest charge air temps. The horizontal option provides the least impact on engine operating temp, and should be utilized for road racing applications.Tuning - Tuning for full systems is included with the 7 psi stock system offering. This comes in the form of a simple-to-use hand held programmer. With long-term reliability in mind, these tunes are set up conservatively from the factory to account for fuel variations across the country.
As always, more power can be had from the base system, with professional custom tuning from your local tuning shop.Reversibility - ProCharger knows that there is always a chance that someone might eventually sell their Corvette and want to return it to stock. With that in mind, every piece of OEM plastic that would have to get trimmed is already supplied with the kit. AndQualityProCharger supercharger kits are produced from the finest materials available. All castings are poured from 'virgin' 356 aluminum alloy and heat-treated to a T-6 hardness before CNC machining. ATI's exclusive billet impellers are machined from 7075 T-6 aircraft aluminum, while the super precision bearings used in all ProCharger models are made in the USA, and are of a consistently higher quality and speed/load rating than those used by any of our competitors. In fact, ProCharger superchargers are so reliable that they are used as standard equipment by many leading boat manufacturers in the extremely demanding marine environment.Complete SystemsFuel-injected automotive and truck ProCharger Systems are generally 100% complete, with all the components needed for an attractive, OEM-quality installation.
An exception is larger fuel injectors, as some systems exclude these, especially if larger fuel injectors are only needed for upgraded boost and power levels. All hardware is of the highest quality, and fuel-injected systems include a high-flow external fuel pump as standard equipment if necessary for proper fuel delivery. Most Intercooled ProCharger kits can be installed in 8-10 hours with simple hand tools.
Carbureted systems can generally be installed in 4-6 hours. All ProCharger kits contain extremely thorough installation instructions with plenty of photos, illustrations and diagrams to help ensure a successful installation.WarrantyProCharger superchargers are absolutely the most reliable in the industry, and are backed by the industry's best warranty coverage. It is not uncommon to find ProCharger kits warrantied for 1 year at power levels which their competitors will not even warranty for 1 day.Optional P-1X High Efficiency Street/Strip Supercharger UpgradeThe ProCharger P-1X head units feature the robust, self-contained gearcase that is standard on most ProCharger models, but with a new aerodynamic compressor design that creates cooler charge air temperatures and more horsepower at the same boost level than our industry-standard P-1SC-1. This higher efficiency design was engineered to be a bolt-in replacement for P-1SC-1 equipped systems and has even greater max-power potential.These new designs are built on the same proven technology that propels the P-1SC-1 and models to near 4-digit power numbers and slightly beyond, and feature the same step-up ratio. The compressor side of the supercharger (the volute and impeller) was redesigned with greater efficiency and less parasitic engine load in mind.
