  • 6.0 factory Superchargers?

    Any of the factory set ups worth messing with? Now that my project should have plenty of room for a inter cooler I may invest in one. Tempted just to cam it for now but I am a big fan of forced induction. After all the belt issues I have seen and dealt with reguarding aftermarket stuff it makes me lean towards a more factory set up though. Anyone used any of these? I have a 04 6.0 if that matters any.

    I assume were talking ls, or the lq series

    You would need to get cathedral adapters to run an lsa style super charger. Then upgrade your fuel system. The adapters combined with the supercharger make clearance an issue in everything except a truck

    From what I have seen you spend the same amount if not more trying to run a factory style setup compared to a used aftermarket setup.

      Yeah LQ. Fuel system is no issue as I haven't built the system yet and I have a ton of overhead space and reasonable room on the sides. My biggest issue was space for a intercooler before but the compactness of the LS solved that I believe. I had never heard of cathederal adapters before. Interesting.

        With a 6.0 bore, swap to any of the LS3/LSA style heads and bolt the factory blower right on with the matching front drive.

          Swapping heads kind of puts you back down the rabbit hole and really starts adding up more than an aftermarket setup


          425 shipped in lower 48
          uses stock gaskets on head side
          uses stock gasket on blower side
          bolts supplied
          raises blower by an inch

              Not mine, just a copy paste off of ls1tech.

                  Miss my Miata, kind of!

                  Maybe I will get the mounts burned in this weekend and see what is a better option. I like the factory style and reliability though. I know belt slip was not just Miata either. I did plenty of reading on that crap while we were basically re engineering KW's kit for them. Separate drive pulley at the crank would be optimum I think. Just kicking it around at this point.
