Harrop 112 Super Charger

[Gen3Man]

To the team at Harrop.
Thankyou for creating such fine super chargers.

Have had my 112 charger on for just over three weeks, and I am literally blown away with the transformation it has made to my car. ( pun intended )

Installed at Autotechnique / Walkinshaw Performance in Knoxfield - Highly recommend them - Their installation and customer service is nothing less than fantastic. Not too mention the price- Outstanding $9k drive in, drive out !. Mario / Greg / Ross / Dave / Phil and others what a great team.

Not only has my power gone up from 269 to 364kw at the wheels, my fuel consumption has improved on the freeway from 15 lts/ 100 kays down to 8.5 litres to 100kays. Also an easy 11.6 at Calder two Fridays ago.
Remarkable fuel consumption considering I also have a 228/236 114 lsa Comp Cam, 3000 stally, 3.9 diff gears.
City driving fuel consumption not yet measured, as I have not been able to drive it normally to take a fair reading.

Anyways - Great Super Charger - Top Quality Product - Well done to the team at Harrop and the engineers and development team who keep creating these mighty fine products !!!

More power - Less fuel - Everyone should get one of these. !!!:)
Perfect solution to the fuel crisis. :bow:

sounds awesome mate got to be happy with that power and price :) do they have a nice whine to em ?

[Gen3Man]

Sounds absolutely brilliant - Music to my ears !
At idle you can't tell, but foot down and she sings :smilesandbanana:

[Ken]

Gen3Man ...

Thanks for the kind words and positive feedback. :)
Those results are great (pehaps even a little better than "the norm") and shows what can be achieved without spending lots on hidden costs for 'unexpected' items ... Well done to Mario & the boys for delivering what they promise - Value.

We are proud to have made products that give people the same joy we get from them.

How much do these kits sell off the shelf to the public? Here in NZ looking at 11,000 top mount S/C 15,000 installed ect. Wondering cheaper to buy off the shelf. Ken do u sometimes stock 2nd Hand kits? or have deals?

Give Robin at Torque Performance (http://www.torqueperformance.co.nz/index.php) in Auckland a call ... 09 828-7054.
We, including Torque Performance, are currently running a special on our pre-VE HH112 kits ... intercooled kits for non-intercooled prices.
GREAT VALUE !!

Ken,
Your welcome. The words are well deserved.


Mario and team are also quite impressed with the power the H112 made.
As am I . Always great when expectations are blown out of the water !
Mario has redefined the word perfect, when it comes to a perfect tune !

Just thinking of the next mod now.. hahahaha

Keep up the great work . :)
Thanks Vince

Sounds like a bloody ripper now Vince - congrats.

Kudos to Harrop and Autotechnique for their great work also.

[Evman]

9 grand drive in drive out!?! Sweet! Maybe a supercharger is close than I expected...

[Gen3Man]

Macca - Good hearing from you, and yeah she is a bloody ripper, thanks.

Evman - Don't think it, do it. :) I don't think this special is going to last forever, I'd jump on before it goes back up a few thousand.
.

[MISTRSS]

Dont know about the 112 but the 122 sound bloody awsome. Over powers the 1 7/8 & twin 3 inch. A very addictive whistle!

Cool. will do Cheers Ken.

[R8ING1]

I have to agree 100%. We had the 112 intalled by Mario and the team at Autotechnique about a week ago and I still can't get the smile off my face. Their service is next to none, we drove down from Bendigo and that same day we were on our way home. Power figures aren't as high as your's, ours being an auto with stock internals still managed to hit 310rwkw. It drives very quiet until you mash the pedal then it sounds like you are skinning a cat under the bonnet. We have even gone to Heathcote already, shift points need tweaking but still pulled 12.4 taking it real easy. Pedal was no where near the firewall hehehe. My kids are rapped to as now mum has the quickest taxi at their school.

[Gen3Man]

R8ING1, still an impressive result for an unopened engine !

A very quick 12.4 second school taxi , no excuses for getting the kids to school late !

Nice . :)

[brentonsav]

hey mate, nice result
is this on an LS1 or L76?

[Gen3Man]

LS1 - original motor - ex interceptor - Already had a hard life before I bought her, she just likes it rough .. hahaha

cheers

[brentonsav]

good numbers from ls1 mate. great work...

[Gen3Man]

good numbers from ls1 mate. great work...

Thanks, hoping new tyres and a tweak on the tune ( set it up for 17 inch wheels instead of the daily 19s ) will see it go a very low 11 or better.
As engine hit limiter on gear changes. Due to tune done on 19s
:)

[Scottl]

Hi would you or someone from Harrop be able to tell me the dimensions of the supercharger and how low it sits under a commodore bonnet.

Thanks alot guys, good results!

Scott.

[pagey]

hmm.. very interesting... ;)

so that was $9k for the intercooled set up..drive in drive out..?

What about injectors/fuel pump.. were they included or did you already have them with the cam etc..?

This is actually very tempting.. do love the SC...:bow:

Yes $9000 drive in drive out including injectors.! From Autotechnique in Knoxfield. Ask for Mario.

Already had a Walbro from my Cam install. Although I think in some cases the stock pump might be ok.

Yeah the SC is absolutely killer. Can't wipe the smile off my face.

Thanks Scott,

Its sit perfectly under the bonnet, only just touching the felt in two places.

I am sure Ken from Harrop can provide exact dimensions for you.

[michaels1v8]

9k! :drool:

If only I had a few grand more I would be there.
Maybe next year :(
Awesome stuff Harrop you should shift PLENTY of kits at that price

Scott ...
Email me via ken@harrop.com.au & I will send some dimensioned images.

[Scottl]

Thanks Ken, Just emailed you.

[R8ING1]

Yep Gen3Man is spot on, everything you need is inc. As for the fuel pump I'm still using my factory one but then I only have standard internals

do you know what % your injectors are flowing at WOT? i would have thought it would be a little to much for them at this rwkw range?

[R8ING1]

I'll have to find out but so far I haven't encountered any issues. The injectors have been upgraded to suit the s/c install but for now the pump remains the same

[pagey]

must be a decent discount for the shops.. as it seems to be less for the drive in/out price than the actual list price on the webiste.. plus injectors and tune.. seems bloody good.

Harrop have a great deal going and great relationship with Autotechnique.
And Mario from Autotechnique decided to pass the full savings on to the customer.
One could only imagine how many chargers he has bought - volume sales/purchasing - can't beat it.
Everyone wins.

[Gen3Man]

Ken - Quick question is the intercooler fluid just plain water ?
Or is there an additive ?

Please ensure that an anti-corrosion additive is present. There are also a couple of weeting agents on the market that work well ... Check out Martini - it is what I run in mine.

[ls1vt209]

What size injectors does the kit come with?

[Ken]

What size injectors does the kit come with?

LS1 = 42#
LS2/L76 = 47#
All HTV2300 kits = 63#

The 63# injectors can be shipped with any HH112 or HH122 kit for $264/set if ordered at the same time the supercharger kit is ordered.

:)

[OUTAtheBloo]

Nice result there Gen3man, you must be pleased, feel free to post up some video for us all to enjoy mate (pretty please :lol: )

Ken, any deals on the HH122 any time soon :D (I presume the 112 is too small for a 4 oh based motor)

Yeah thank you, I am very pleased. I do have a crappy video of my 11.6 run at Calder, but I am not sure how to post it, or decrease its 70 meg size for the net.

Cheers
Vince

Ken - Thanks for the quick reply, exactly what addidtive made by Martini do you recomend ?
Would I need to use it in top ups? Or only for complete refill ?

thanks again

[Ken]

No specials slated forthe immediate future.
Is the 112 too small ... depends on your expected result.
Have a chat with installers and users as moderate to reasonable gains will be found with our HH112, good to exceptional with our HH122, and mind-blowingly awesome to ballistically mad with the HTV2300 :)

I use Martini Super Kool as a top-up to a normal mix of corrosion-inhibitor.

The HTV2300 is a destroyer of all. I have this bit of kit on my VZ Clubby, the joker wants his smile back. It is evil but very good. :eyes:

Amen to that mate....can't wait to put it on my LS3 stroker and wind up the boost:bow:

What tyres were you running on your run.

Have you done anything else internaly apart from the cam?

Have you upgraded the pulley for more boost?



Cheers

Hey Trent,
Pretty much stock apart from Cam, double row timing chain, 918 Comp Valve Springs, LS2 spark leads, NGK cold running plugs, 3000 Dominator stally, 3.9s in the diff with a Harrop Sports diff cover. And usual big exhaust/extractor upgrade etc.
It is running stock boost.

I run with street legal Toyo Proxes RA1's semi slick tyres at around 17 psi seems to be the magic spot for me.

I want to run it at Calder few more times before I start tinkering more with under the bonnet.

Cheers
Vince

Sounds like a good combo well done.

Good power too.

[S2VYSS]

Is HTV2300 too big for a stock LS1?

I want to go a H122, but I'm thinking down the track that I'll want more from the setup

[HSVQUE]

The HTV is more suited to larger cubed/modified engines.. Most people who use them have a stroked ls1(with stronger internals) or a strengthened 6l.

Great Blower though :D

[S2VYSS]

I was thinking that mate

I think I might go the LS3 transplant with a fat cam and h122

[HSVQUE]

Would be a nice combo.. still with a blower or turbo you dont want to phater of a cam or you will go backwards! But there is nothing like a blower.. my next project will be blown to.. even though i love turbos.

[S2VYSS]

I want a fat cam to match a blower of course

I have been thinking about a turbo kit, but I want the sound of a blower more

Next project mate? Have you finished with this car already Rob?

Our HTV2300 is definately too big for a stock LS1.
However ... If going to an LS3 with a cam, the HTV2300 would be a good match with room to grow. It may be a little big, so perhaps try "not overdriven" to start with.
:)

[S2VYSS]

Thanks Ken

Probably end up going the h122 with a cam. What size cam would you cam that would give that fat cammed sound without losing power from the blower?

[Ken]

Although not quite mutually exclusive, a big fat cam sound and good driveability with no boost lost is contra-indicated.

A reasonable compromise would be something in the 220-230 x 225-235 x 116-114LSA.
Most installers/tuners have a "favorite" and usually experience similar results. VCM-Suite has had a lot of success with their cam range when matched up to our HH122's, and there is a wide selection of viable options from all the usual sources.
Find a blown car you like the sound of ... & ask the forum members for their feedback.
:goodjob:

[S2VYSS]

Thanks Ken

I'll chew greg and mario's ears off when I go into autotechnique again

[Leroy]

I got the VCM2 cam and it is absolutely awesome. I have no idea of the figures, I just trusted Mario as he knows how I drive. Heaps more get up and go from 2000rpm all the way to the rev limiter. Quite a stealth idle too.

I still cannot believe how much this cam has transformed my car. :)

You know what I think that at the end of the day if your going to drive a modified V8 with a blower on it, you might as well have a tough fat sound!

Mmmm cammed and blown V8 :drool:

Got one being fitted to my Super Pursuit ute in a couple of weeks. Not the HTV2300, but the Ford Racing / Roush Performance / Harrop upgrade blower for the GT500 Mustang. This head unit as a replacement for the 2.1l Eaton provides an immediate 105hp gain in the stock '07-'08 Mustang GT500.

Can't believe the amount of controversy this blower is causing for some 2.6KB twin screw fitters :lol:

Top effort to Harrop/Ford Racing/Roush Performance and Eaton Performance for designing this new blower!

I dont have the car very often at my place.
But PM me one weekend, and your welcome to pop over for a listen / or a spin if your keen...

[SilVY]

I gotta get one, quite a reasonable price!

At this price its even worth the drive or trucking it down to Autotechnique to have it done same day drive in / drive out .

The work done at Autotechnique is fantastic. You will be very happy.

Will keep you all posted, Mario is doing a few more tweaks to my car, and we shall see how much more the 112 has in her too ..
.

[WA1TNC]

with the H112 my ute pushed 316.5rwkw's with smaller tri- y's, std cats with the original 'squashed' connecter pipes and duel 2.5 exhausts.... all std internals.
i got new cats the other day and with the 'squashed' pipes deleted i think its picked up at least 7-10rwkw's and when i go back down 2 chev's performance(who are absolute legends) 4 the smaller pully and a re-tune i think it should be up around the 335-345rwkw mark........ driven everyday 2 and from work without know-one even knowing whats under the bonnet till i step on the 'go fast' pedal.
no cam, no head work, all std. if any1 was thinking about such a 'mod' i say do it! awesome product and service from harrop, you wont be disappointed. :goodjob:
