LSA Supercharger conversion parts list UPDATED
I've been eyeing a thread on the g8boards where there have been numerous people doing this swap with relative ease and for extremely inexpensive. Being that I work behind a GM parts counter I decided to see what all the parts would cost new and I took some information from the g8board and compiled some of my own research and I put together a parts list with part numbers. Note that not all the parts can be purchased from a GM parts supplier or parts counter. There will be some parts that you need to purchase after market.

12606501 - Idler Bracket
11588727 - Idler Bracket bolts (x3)
12606031 - Idler Pulley
11518630 - Idler Pulley Bolts (x2)
11900254 - Idler Bracket bolt (x1)
12606032 - Idler Pulley
12606500 - Tensioner Bracket
11588749 - Tensioner Bracket Bolt (x2)

12622452 - SC Tensioner
11588753 - Tensioner Bolt (x1)
12636227 - Stock SC belt for stock pulley sizes
22879421 - ZL1 Heat Exchanger
19180613 - LSA Intake manifold gaskets
12612467 - IC insulator
11588718 - Supercharger bolts (x10)
12622235 - Fuel Rail
12598646 - LSA Injectors (x8)
22912576 - LSA fuel line adapter ($33)
Bosch IC pump 92.50 on Amazon
IC pump harness w/ relay from Magnuson $45
The above parts list is almost everything you will need to complete the kit and our employee pricing has all of the above priced at a tab of $3392.80 not including the Bosch IC pump, not including the ZL1 Heat Exchanger (the gm IC pump is way too expensive so I wont even list it), and not including tax or shipping where applicable. I am at a new dealership now and can do a lot better on the price of parts.
If there is enough interest in this I can put this together as a kit and sell as a package. We are working on doing some customization to new vehicles and the owner of our dealership is working on getting on board with offering this as a kit that we can sell and install for customers.
Note All parts listed above are from a 2014 ZL1 Camaro. GM has apparently fixed the isolator problems in these from previous versions.
** All parts come with their GM warranty **
Below are prices/parts of some of the rest of the stuff you may need/want:
Magnuson Heat exchanger from the Heartbeat kit for our cars - Roughly $475ish
Some guys ran the 2012+ GT500 heat exchanger for just a couple hundred dollars.
There will be hoses/clamps needed for the IC system. wiring/connectors/solder to extend MAF and the relocate the IAT wires from the stock MAF harness over to the IAT sensor on the lid.
Some people are using a Cobalt Filler neck PN 25884797 and cap PN 15076936 to fill the IC system. I do not have the PN for the cobalt tank as I planned on designing my own trunk mounted ice box and running dual IC pumps.
The 3 bar map sensor and IAT sensor come with the lid.
You use your stock MAP sensor from your stock intake to plug the hole for the snout pressure on the blower as it will not be used in our cars (only used as a plug, no connectors are plugged into the sensor).
There will be some fab work needed to run the ZL1 heat exchanger and maybe some others. Brackets will need to be made, misc bolts needed for the brackets.
Relocating the factory heater hoses is a must. Hoses with pre-bent 90's can be purchased from napa or any gates supplier.
A crank pinning kit is required to pin the balancer (~$75). Most just drill the new holes for the kit and do not use the key way on the LSA balancer.
The coil pack brackets need to be relocated slightly. Most just drilled new holes in the brackets to move them down towards the spark plugs about 1/2".
The fuel injectors and rail as they can be found used on the ctsvforums for VERY cheap. Stock LSA injectors are 52lb if my memory serves me correctly and CTS-V/ZL1 guys are selling them for under $200 some even as low as $100 for a set. Depending on your desired power levels 60lb or even ID750's or ID1000's may be needed.
A boost-a-pump isn't required if you stay on low boost but it will help if you start to turn the boost up so the fuel pump can keep up and not lose pressure. Or you can opt out to swap in an Aeromotive 340lph pump or even a Walbro 400 or 450lph pump with slight modification to the bucket.
I researched the fuel pump module in our cars vs the ZL1 and the part numbers are exactly the same, which means they are the same pump. So there is no need to "upgrade" to a ZL1 pump, because its already in our car. ZL1 pump should be good up to 600-650ish HP with a boost-a-pump. If you add methanol injection you can take a slight load off the fuel system and have room to grow for more horsepower as it will cool IAT's and increase octane.
I may have left some things off. As I start to dive into this conversion, which may not happen for a couple of months I will update the thread. Or as others on here begin the conversion and they leave feedback I will update this post.
This is just to get everyone started and ust about 95% of everything needed for the swap. Not all swaps will be the same as some may change a thing or two here and there.
This entire swap can be done for under $4k on the including LS9 cam ($115 or cheaper if found online used) if you do all the work yourself.
As part of the kit we are thinking of offering we are considering having a spare tire well mounted Ice box for the supercharger coolant to keep IAT's VERY cool or even COLD. The tank will consist of tubing wrapped in a coil that the SC coolant will pass through. Inside the tank you will be able to fill with ice and water to chill the coolant to close to 40-45* or colder which will bring IAT's well below ambient temps. We are considering opting out of running a heat exchanger as it would not be needed for further cooling.
