Talking cts-v supercharger

Just wondering/dreaming, would the Cadillac cts-v blower fit on other engines? Trucks, older gen camaro etc?

hello newbie! Most questions can be answered with the search button. Just like this one

https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...ort-heads.html

Port shape needs to be rectangular (Ls3). these heads have 2.16" intake valves and need minimum of 4" bore.
The height of it with lid (intercooler top) is pretty tall.
Then there is how does one spin the supercharger pulley as you need CTS-V accessories or a custom pulley.

All of this is being addressed in the thread above.

The older Fbody will have issue with fitting the blower under the hood. The TVS blowers are too tall & require very intrusive modification. A few people have done it but it requires trimming to the windshield & removal of the windshield wipers etc... Not to mention hood fitment issues as well. You can however squeeze in a smaller PD blower ie: Maggy 112 built specifically for the LS1 config. I think Hawks Third Gen still offers the kit.

Hello and welcome to the forum. As stated earlier a search will "sometimes" turn up what your looking for but not always and even then it may be a long read to find the answer. My understanding is the entire cts-v serpentine system including wp, pullies, brackets and such needs to be used to keep the alignment in order for the supercharger. G.L. with your search.

I figured it wouldn't be as easy as just bolt ing it on. I saw there were used ones for sale and was just dreaming of horsepower.

Yeah me too! Id love to throw one on my 6.2 denali but Im not going through all that conversion crap. By that time I could have just bought a used Whiple or Maggie and been light years ahead in the labor and research dept.
