Holden 5L V8 | Harrop Low Profile Supercharger Preview

Our engineering team have developed a low profile, non-intercooled TVS2300 Supercharger for the Aussie Holden 5L V8 for improved bonnet clearance!
Here is a preview of our prototype low profile supercharger unit for the iconic Iron Lion including performance testing on our Mainline ProHub in our Holden VR test mule!

Love my harrop htv 2300 had it on my vz clubby for 6 month and only done 1300km in it..and its already making loud grinding and rattling sounds from it... amazing product i really hope you fix it under warranty

[@MindieJ]

People having a cry about the dyno figure 😂 thinking bolting a charger to an otherwise stock 5L with no supporting mods was gna make 500hp

This is excellent, very well done, awesome design. I first saw these chargers on The Skid Factory's channel. Don't worry about the negative comments, some people don't appreciate Aussie made and want boring Canadian/Mexican made LS, the rest can't afford real power upgrades for their ragged out VN SS lol. Can I ask, does this also fit under a stock VT 5L bonnet? Cheers!

Tell Joel to wind that shit up, until it throws a rod or two, then back it off half a turn. If I was going to spend Harrop blower money on a 5.0, surely, I'd have the coin, for some supporting mods to the long block. A whopping 7psi, please, I piss with more pressure.

My stock 185kw motor running 1.6l auto rotor/whipple with cutdown banana manifold with top mount 4barrel throttle body with bigger injectors headers and exhaust running 5.7psi made 255whp an 650nm@2200rpm non intercooled. Loved 12psi tho not sure what hp was at that though

@@lloydchristmas2326 Well thats ford for ya, turbo barras do very well with mods....i do agree that the hp number isnt great but the percentage is pretty normal for a supercharger, i guess the 5l probably just isnt worth supercharging....i mean a 42% increase on a low HP engine still doesnt make it a powerhouse....

[@morphreynard6764]

So you are telling me that a 5l v8 only manages to produce 210hp while my car with a 2l 4 cyls can do the same?

[@ESISTTIGER]

The difference is yours most likely makes it at the crank This makes it at the wheels which means its probably making about 250-270hp at the crank This also makes alot more torque and doesnt require short gearing to be able to get going

[@runbydemons6744]

anyone with a vz ss with a harrop 2300 what the fuel consumption like on the highway doing 100 110 and what power you making aswell as cost

[@spyer212]

The thing most of you nay sayers are missing is that its non intercooled. Theres massive amounts of power left to be had here. There just isnt enough bonnet clearance for the intercooler brick thats usually under the supercharger. 40% power increase is savage non the less. Can it be done cheaper? Yea it can. But will you have the appeal of owning a roots style supercharger? No, you wont. This is a prototype not a finished product. That pully is absolutely bloody massive whats it making harrop? 4-5 psi?

[@YouPousti]

Non intercooled? Wont that cause heating/performance issues instantly?

[@Hayden-bs3oz]

Lol...Ls makes 100 more hp with just tune. If it doesn't pull 400+rwhp chuck it in the bin boys...although I wouldn't expect miracles without an intercooler so I'm gonna guess this perticular setup doesn't even make 10psi...

[@hayden6056]

What LS makes 400 whp with just a tune? Even a vf with OTR , cat back and tune only makes 340-360. And LS1 with headers back , OTR and tunes makes 310-330. And then they still usually only go run a 13 still anyway 😂

[@shanerorko8076]

Please show me your 400rwhp LS with stock cam, heads, exhaust ect but only a tune.

[@shanerorko8076]

Yep Hayden this guy knows more than us and Harrop lolol what a joker. He probably thinks the earth is flat and 5G is dangerous too....

[@shanerorko8076]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3W9gIBjosSrirs&ab_channel=RichardHoldener here you go crusty, this is a LS 5.7l with aftermarket heads and long tube extractors with no mufflers and it only just cracks 400hp flywheel so it would be like 330rwhp through an auto. The engine in the Commodore in the video is only running 8psi (I know this due to the power increase) with E85 you could gain an extra 7psi and have no detonation. But E85 will need a new fuel tank, pump, line and injectors.

I Wouldnt thought there was enough of them boat anchers around to be worth R AND D,had a couple in the day,why dont you a setup for 351 cleveland

[@shanerorko8076]

Lol boat anchors ay. You can make 650hp fly plus on stock block and stock crank with one. The clevo blocks start bore distorting at those power levels then start blowing all the power past the rings lol. Why do all pro engine builders use 351w blocks when doing a clevo headed build? Because the clevo is rubbish apart from a good valve layout. Then you have to get 3V heads for the rubbish engines to make any decent power. Late 5l windsor style heads are even better now as you can get some that flow 500cfm and make more power than a clevo style head. Don't throw stones in glass house's.

[@shanerorko8076]

Yes agree its the torque that you feel and turns tyres!!!

[@johnheath2406]

If that motor is stock in that car I doubt if it would have a roller cam etc.225rwkw is 30+rwkw more than a stock 6.0Ls. My low km 6.0Ls dynoed 180kw at wheels stock. A chip and pipes gets you to 230rwkw. Most bang out of a stock 6.0Ls is about 260rwkw. A Ls will cost you like 50k now before installation. So 9k for something that goes that well and sounds as tough is cheap. the modified VT roller 355 version does 600kw

[@Hitman-ds1ei]

The most expensive 90hp you will ever buy

[@88racex]

So add e85, go for some supporting mods and more boost and triple that power increase. It's not brain surgery man

[@shanerorko8076]

If you want a PD power and torque curve you don't really have any other option. I'm sure on E85 you could put a much smaller pully on and get another 100hp on top so 400hp+. Problem is without the intercooler you have to limit boost. Some Edelbrock heads would help make more power as alloy heads move heat faster so you could up boost a little more on alloy heads.

[@mushy1983123]

Makes less power then a tuned ls1 🤷‍♂️

[@shanerorko8076]

About the same power actually. Its probably under 7psi due to the iron heads and port ulp run it on E85 with a blower injector or just batch fire all the injectors then you'll be able to run past 12psi. Remember 15psi is a 100% increase from stock so it'll make 400hp on E85 likely but you'll want to get some of the E85 spraying onto the rotors. Alloy heads run cooler so will add a couple of psi or a little more advance either way it's more power. Also most alloy heads will flow better so psi will drop off anyway letting you use an even smaller pulley. Edelbrock heads are 2k each so 12k for the blower 4k for the heads 3k to convert to E85. You are at just under 20k for easy 500hp potential which is LS7 teritorry.
