Thanks Mick. And yes, getting very edgy now lol
Re: Fitting LSA blower to L77?
Just a thought, it must be a prick to change heater hoses on these FI LSA engines with the blower in place! :lol:
Re: Fitting LSA blower to L77?
That's standard GM hoses Mick. LSA hoses route off to the side around the shock tower and down to the water pump heater fittings.

Re: Fitting LSA blower to L77?
Picked her up this morning and what can I say, other than faaaark. Drives extremely nice, but anything more than half throttle and all hell breaks loose. I cannot imagine
what 500rwkw would be like, insane. Brad called it quits at 370rwkw for a few reasons, main one being I don't want the motor or box to go bang, I simply cannot afford a
new motor lol. Maybe in a year or so if I get bored we might put a smaller pulley on, change the fuel pump and up the boost, Brad reckons another 40-50 in it if I decide
to take the risk.
Re: Fitting LSA blower to L77?
Good result.
370rwkw will be safe as houses on the motor side of things. Been making around that on my LS1 for about 4 years now, hasn't missed a beat. Bigger issue will be drive shafts, diff, gearbox...
Re: Fitting LSA blower to L77?
Hey Rod great result don't get bogged down on the power the torque is all that matters...954nm & noted it develops that very quickly too!! :thumbsup: :goodjob:
You will be very happy with the V now ;)

On those numbers the A6 & final drive will be sweet on a VE compared to the earlier LS1's
