56chevywagon Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 I know this may be a stupid question, but..... will adding a Magnacharger, or any other supercharger void the factory warranty? I'm pretty sure that I know the answer, but I'd like the oppions just to be safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyinTurbo Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Magnacharger offers (for an additional charge) a warranty to replace the factory 3yr/36K mile powertrain warranty on their products. To directly answer your question, modifications to a vehicle are not supposed to 'void the warranty' on a vehicle... expect for the components you replace (Obviously, a dealer isn't going to warranty an aftermarket that you installed). In reality, it would be very difficult to prove your case to a dealership if they claim that they are not going to honor a warranty claim because they feel that a modification you have done has caused the issue. What it boils down to: You play, you pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawk Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Or get to know your service writer at the dealership, ask for him specifically every time. I just happen to be friends with mine so he just looks the other way when I would have an issue with a warranty repair. The mechanics haven’t ever said anything because they just get paid by the job/hour not to inspect vehicles for after market parts, that’s really the service writer. But if you blow a motor with a SC like the chevy thunders always did (For some reason always cylinder #7) Better unbolt everything off of the motor before they inspect it. Your warranty may just cover it, risky either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithl3 Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Guys, Maybe a little off topic, I am not so much worried about the warrenty, I just want more power. I just joined the group the other day, hoping to get some useful info out of the site along with helping you if I find anything. I am really pressing towards a procharger. They offer a little more boost for what you are paying 8-9psi. Does anyone know if this is too much with the 10:1 compression stock Also if anybody has any background on procharger I would really appreciate it. I want to make sure it is a good decision. Lemme know what you all think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Try sending an PM to SSilverado60. I seem to recall he is thinking about a centrifugal blower (forget which one) and I think has some past experince with them. You might want to drop by www.ls1tech.com and check out the "Forced Induction" and "Truck V8 Performance" forums. Lots of tech talk there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithl3 Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 I just got the truck recently, as in last week. And since I started a new job with the government I will be getting a little sign on bonus. So to answer your question, I am gonna get it when I get the bonus. I talked to procharger today, and they are testing their 6.0L air to air intercooled supercharger kit on the LQ9 motors as we speak, and should have some results in a few weeks. Talking to the personel over there they are still expecting some impressive percentage boosts of around 60%, making these bad boys we all have of upwards of 500 horse. I am sold, just waiting to here back from them Another problem is that I don't have any installation place next to me and since non of you guys have a procharger I am going to have to take a shot in the dark and try this install and system by myself. But I'll take that risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting on a supercharger shouldn't be too hard SmithI3. I changed my own flat tire once. No sweat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
