Product Description
The intercooled ESS Tuning Corvette C7 G3 supercharger system is the culmination of over 25 years of forced induction experience. The G3 supercharger has a max capacity of 1600CFM, and is ideal for the LT1 application in power ranges of 600-950WHP. Featuring the patented, highly efficient, extremely durable and light weight ESS G3 supercharger unit. This system delivers quick boost, a very strong mid range and considerably less mechanical noise vs competing systems. It is also extremely light with the entire system weighing in at 47lbs total weight, so it is ideal for racing applications where weight balance is a major concern.
The system utilizes a billet 25mm thick 6061 T6 main bracket assembly for zero flex, a 10PK belt drive system with ATI harmonic balancer, heavy duty idler pulleys and extreme duty integrated belt tensioner system, a 3.5" front mount intercooler (FMIC) that is designed to fit without modification to the OEM front bumper. The system features an integrated high capacity Precision Turbo blow off valve. The Corvette C7 G3 supercharger system is a complete system with everything you need for correct installation besides software.
Power delivery is 100% smooth and of OEM standard when correctly calibrated. The system is virtually inaudible with the hood closed, straight cut gears is available as a no cost option if more supercharger whine is desired.
And like all ESS supercharger systems, the C7 Corvette kits are extensively tested and guaranteed for 1 year against any hardware malfunction or defect regardless of mileage. We offer a full spare part and upgrade part web shop for this system as well under our parts and maintenance section. Support is only offered on the supercharger hardware side, we refer to your tuner for any operational guidance as far as powertrain integration/calibration goes.
This system is offered as a Wholesale Direct product only, meaning it is not supplied through a dealer network and the price we offer is wholesale pricing direct to the end user. This system is for clients that have the skill set to install and arrange the calibration on their own, and it is not meant as a complete package with full operational support for people with no experience in powertrain modifications. Quality throughout the kit is absolute top notch as is the system capacity and efficiency. This is a fantastic option for the enthusiast who is looking for a rock solid foundation to build his dream setup from.
The kit can easily be upgraded to G3X spec by adding the X trim billet impeller. This impeller increases the speed capacity of the supercharger and is recommended for applications with more than ~900WHP.
This kit comes with HP Tuners RTD software delivery platform and perfectly matched software for the 125mm pulley.
