CAPA are leaders of the forced induction industry in Australia - providing custom engineered solutions for high-performance vehicle enthusiasts and workshops.
Our History
CAPA Performance was one of the first companies in the early 90’s to manufacture bolt on supercharger kits for Commodores and Falcons, and quickly became known as leaders in the forced induction industry.. THE GO TO GUYS FOR ANYTHING SUPERCHARGED.
CAPA has achieved unparalleled success with its affiliation with major supercharger manufacturers in the United States, such as Vortech, Paxton, Magnuson and Edelbrock to name a few. With the vast range of products available in the market place, one of the secrets to CAPA's success has been the implementation of the correct product for the right application, ultimately creating the ultimate upgrade for your vehicle.
The question you may ask yourself is: Why should I supercharge my vehicle and what is the best supercharger? Motivation to supercharge is generally the great power gains achieved, while not compromising the vehicles overall reliability. Combine this with a predictability of both power and torque delivery, and the retention of original drive smoothness. Why would you not do it??
Why choose CAPA?
The two major differences in the supercharger products are positive displacement (eg. Eaton) and centrifugal (eg. Vortech). The positive displacement delivers boost in greater quantities down low in the rev range, whereby the centrifugal delivers its boost linearly throughout the rev range. Factors such as intercooling, size of engine, horsepower required, and boost required will affect the choice of product to be used.
As you will see on this website, a full range of associated products that compliment the forced induction process are now available in Australia. Products ranging from complete water injection kits to electronic componentry. Sections of this website have been devoted to one of Australia's most popular modified motor vehicle, the LS-1 V8 Holden Commodore. After extensive engineering and subsequently producing the LS-1 supercharged system (intercooled and non-intercooled), CAPA has now profiled a complete product range for this particular vehicle. You will also notice CAPA has now diversified into conventional performance accessories, ensuring the supply of fully engineered componentry with a guaranteed result.
Creating the future today has ensured today is certainly an exciting time for our industry and ultimately, exciting times for you, our valued customer. Get out there and enjoy!
