Pontiac’s new G8 performance sedan has all the stuff that sedans have been missing for the last few years. With style, performance and a reasonable $30,000 price tag it was only a mater of time before this car caught on to the aftermarket. Not to forget it’s pretty quick too, running 13.7s at 104mph off the showroom floor. However, the potential for real Super Car performance is as easy as bolting on a new Magna Charger MP1900 TVS supercharger for a whopping 135hp increase in
rear wheel horsepower, lowering quarter-mile times to 12.5 at 112mph according to Magna Charger. The Magna Charger G8 supercharger is legal for installation in California carrying CARB E.O. Number D-488-14 so that means its good for anywhere.
Magna Charger’s new supercharger technology is the same used for the new LS9 Corvette. The four-lobe rotor design features a high-twist 160º helix that has improved efficiency (less power to drive), cooler discharge temperatures and is much quieter. Additional efficiency is the result of the unique bypass valve that reduces parasitic losses during normal driving. The Magna Charger also interfaces seamlessly with GM's Active Fuel Management system that cuts the engine to four cylinders at light throttle.
The Magna Charger G8 system comes complete with a new aluminum intake manifold, integral water-to-air intercooler, new fuel injectors and all necessary brackets, connectors, hardware and any needed specialized tools to be sure that this is a simple install. The supercharger has a self-contained lubrication system that is maintenance-free so this is a plug and play setup. Calibration is included with a hand held computer programmer that re-programs the factory ECU, and stores the original calibration for possible future use. The G8 just come out, but look for it to be tearing up the drag strip with this setup very soon.
All Magna Charger supercharger systems carry a Standard 3-Year Limited warranty on the supercharger system, and Magna Charger also offers an optional 36,000-mile/3 Year Powertrain Warranty.
