Magnacharger's are awesome and anyone near this area would be foolish not to take a deeper look into it...

Hey Glen.... take your rig out to Cali....:D

My buddy is a dealer for Magna and I've installed a few of 'em. They make a very good product.

RE: Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L
 

I'm curious as to what their HP goals are with the Alpha....:D

RE: Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L
 

they colud make a 200hp increase with the supercharger considering its a V8, or they could make a turbocharger and get even more power

RE: Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L
 

We generally set the superchargers to make 120 MORE rwhp. My personaly 5.3L make 504 with a small cam, 8 psi, and some light bolt ons.

RE: Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L
 

nice....:D

I can't wait to see one installed... I did one on a 2000 Corvette Coupe and that fit and finish was fantastic. The only thing that caused me any trouble was trying to jumpstart it once the intercooler tank was installed...

RE: Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L
 

Looks like this is a go. We will start fitment testing 1/7/2007. I will post up progress pics and details as we move along with the project.

Thank you all for your replies!

Brian

That's clean.... looks factory...

Thanks for sharing....

When is that bad boy gonna hit the market?

Any early issues with cooling?

Any other issues?

Anticipated price?



PS... I edited some spaces in between the pictures so it doesn't scoll the screen.

RE: Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L
 

Should be pre-production units available by the first week in Feb with full production running by the end of Feb. Suggested Retail price is $6609.00. There is a site sponsor that is an Authorized Magna Charger Dealer, give them a call to place your order! http://www.gstyle4u.com/

Thanks for the edit!!

RE: Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L
 

I'm curious in the dyno numbers. Hopefully before and after.
Does the engine cover go back on.
I 2nd the clean and factory look.

RE: Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L
 

I wonder who's H3 that is from the forum........... :eek:

RE: Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L
 

Engine cover probably doesn't go back on... at least I have never seen someone cover up a maggie... that's why they offer a High Polish version.

RE: Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L
 

with some modification the cover could go back on......

RE: Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L
 

I understand not wanting to cover it up, especially if it was the polished version.
But, being able to hide it would be cool. Just thinkin of a head scratching SRT
jeep owner, or those SS trailblazers.

RE: Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L
 

Is that the intercooled version? I know the heat soak on the C5 version was pretty significant until they intro'ed the intercooled Maggie. Also, I'd be concerned on how the drive train will react to all that extra torque.

Any predictions as to how much the mileage will drop?

I am definitely interested as I upgraded my EFILive in anticipation of power mods like this but I think I'll be a bit more cautious than I was in modding my C5 since this is my daily driver.

RE: Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L
 

The "Heat Soak" you are talking about with the early C5 is not an issue anymore. The intercoolers have been upgraded and tested for well over 5 years now. The drivetrain will react just fine, the longevity of it depends on the owners right foot and maintence habits......I aways say, if you beat the $hit out of something it will eventually beat you right back. In our testing the MPG will go UP about 2-3 MPG on the higway, and stay about the same on the street. The only time it is an issue is when your right foot is burried in the GO pedal! If you are interested check with the board sponsors and they can help you out with your purchase.

RE: Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L
 

What will the H3 system retail at?

Thanks
Dom

RE: Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L
 

6600.00 is "Suggested Retail" for the silver version. This will include EVERYTHING you need to install the supercharger, I mean EVERYTHING.

RE: Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L
 

Are the installation instructions available for downloadyet?

Wheredid you locatethe reservoir for the intercooler?

I know Magna Charger offers supplemental warranty with this but how would it affect my 5/100K GM warranty?

RE: Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L
 

I am working on getting the instructions on the website, I will post them up when they are available. You can down load the Trailblazer SS instructions if you would like to get an idea of what is involved....they are very close in isntall time.

H3T supercharger
 

Good luck on your hunt, the MagnaCharger for the Alpha H3/H3T went out of production about 5+ years ago.

Not to mention this thread is more than 10 years old.

Or that this is in the archive ONLY sections.
