I know that procharger makes a kit for lt1 corvettes, but will the tpi supercharger work if i take out my AC compressor??????

92 vette lt1

Not as a direct bolt on it wouldnt. You would need to make up a new bracket umongst other things

You can make almost anything work but its all about how much time and money your willing to throw at it. Somethings require alot of custom building.

Thanks guys .

No Problem and BTW, check out off topic. There are tons of funny posts there The arcade area is fun to maybe you can beat some of the high scores :tongue:

the tpi procharger is designed to remount the alt. and if the pwr steering is the same as the lt1 or just use an l98 pump use a delete pulley for the tpi alt. relocation, I don't see how this would be so hard to pull off if one was super cheap and available or free I would try. sounds kinda fun. Aloha

My alternator is on my passenger side, and the supercharger on the driver side. Running the alternator backwards is lame. Some would say deleting AC is equally as lame, but whatever.

If you actually want to do the install, let me know and I'll give you some tech input. I've been running blowers for about 10 years now and have had a lot of time into numerous swaps.
The C4 is kind of a crappy platform for a blower due to space, but I think I've got a somewhat decent working combo.

I've actually redone things a few times since this video.
I removed the spring tensioner, running only 1 idler with re-routed belt so I get almost 300* of belt wrap on the blower pulley. (so I don't have to run crazy tension).

The vortec kit I bought is designed with a head unit that runs backwards so it can be mounted on the passenger side since all the accesories are on the drivers side.

I wish I had a reverse rotation blower and bracket. I could have plumbed the intake forward instead of the air cleaner over the headers.

Here's the rather large regular rotation blower that the owners upgraded to.

Brian, where's you're intake duct at? Looks tight in there.

Here's the ductwork

It will wind down under the headlight where the stock radiator overflow is.

MAF goes between the ducts and the air filter.

Very similar to this ProCharger setup
