In 2000, ProCharger managed an industry first by offering the first gear driven centrifugal supercharger with self-contained oiling. [18] It is credited with being the first to offer a supercharger system for Corvettes with LS engines, and in 2010 was the first to introduce supercharger systems for the Ford Raptor and 3.7L V6 Mustang.

GM also took lessons learned from producing a completely aluminum engine and applied them to the new LS series of engines. The LT5 was available on the following vehicles: 1990-1995 Chevrolet Corvette C4 ZR-1 equipped with 6-speed manual transmission (Production: 6,939). Although the LT5 was never used in another production GM vehicle, it did ...
The 4.8L and the 5.3L are smaller truck versions of the LS1 and were designed to replace the 305 and the 350 in trucks. The 4.8L and 5.3L engines share the same Gen III LS-series engine block and heads (upper end) and therefore, most parts interchange freely between these engines and other variants in the LS family.
Distancing the supercharger from the engine via a mounting bracket greatly reduces heat transfer from the engine to the supercharger during operation. By comparison, a twin screw or roots blower which is nested in the center (valley) of the engine, will absorb heat (heat soak) during operation due to thermal transfer from the engine block and ...
The new engine is a supercharged version of GM's LS3, the 6.2-liter V8 that comes standard with the Camaro SS. Since it is only the Phase I Yenko, it is expected that Phase II and Phase III Yenkos are coming which will have a Z06-sourced LS7 427 in³ engine and possibly even an LS9.
Also in 1878, Scottish engineer Dugald Clerk designed the first supercharger which was used with an engine. [16] This supercharger was used with a two-stroke gas engine. [17] Gottlieb Daimler received a German patent for supercharging an internal combustion engine in 1885. [18] Louis Renault patented a centrifugal supercharger in France in 1902 ...
The Z06 uses a tuned version of the standard LS1 engine (designated the LS6), with a higher power output of 385 hp (390 PS; 287 kW), later bumped to 405 hp (411 PS; 302 kW) starting in 2002. Although its total output was less than that of the previous late model ZR-1, the Z06 was much lighter, and could out-perform the ZR-1 in every category ...
This engine is a modified version of Holden's supercharged V6 with upgraded air intake and exhaust to boost power from the standard 171 kW (232 PS; 229 hp). Due to the popularity and superior performance of Ford's standard I6 engine, let alone the turbocharged variant, this model was removed from the line-up after the VY series.
