VF HSV LSA Into Older Commodore eg>VY ss

[white lie]

Thanks mate, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. Yeah 500hp should be enough for me as I'm kind of bored with my combo. I'm hoping that the blower will help pin me in my seat more and just be more fun.

Also, would 98 octane fuel be ok with the 11:1 comp?

I don't see why not. Pretty sure LS2's are around 10.9:1 anyway, loads of those getting around running decent boost.
You'll make more power on less boost and it will behave better off boost.

Not sure why some people give the LSA shit for its 1900 blower. Its got awesome response being a lighter mass and im making 740 rwhp with mine how much more do you want.

Whats it run at the track?

No idea only got it back last few days no track here either ill have to travel to Sydney to go for a run. Its standard power though for these mods there is a few others around with the same and more.

Ok cool. Be good to see one run with that kind of power. Should shit in a low 10 with a good launch

740 rwhp in a car that weight should crack a nine

Hi All

The LSA motor is def a good option, I am currently putting one in my HX Holden, just doing the last few finishing touches before shes ready to hit the road again and at the price you can buy them for its a pretty good deal, But it def doesnt stop there, it does get quite costly and I have done all the work myself. There probably isnt as much work required to get one in to a VY but from someone that has done the conversion that $20k price tag isnt really up there.

Cheers

im a big fan also of the 4 door hq-hz holdens, seeing one with that LSA goodness is just soo awesome. Thank you for sharing.

Its an awesome motor the LSA as package overall the only thing I dont like is its pretty ugly and trying to dress it up in the older car to look ok is hard. Nothing like a a nice clean big block chev in those holder ones i reckon mind you the LSA feels like a big block chev when you drive it.

Square port Hearbeat pulley wont line up with the ls1 accessories so you would have the same dramas. Plus heartbeat is 10k and mast 4-$5k on a ls1 bottom end wouldn't be my cup of tea

Ok cool. What doesn't clear? Though it might be a killer combo

As far as I know the square port blowers only come with the ls3/ l77 etc offset which is close to the block. Older vt- vz commodores accessory drive is further off the block so you would have to use a cathedral port 2300 Maggie or similar.
Would be a killer combo on a ve but I'd be nervous with a stock bottom end

HeartBeat is available with the LS1/2 offset - it is available with all offsets including the J-body (truck) & LSA.

Hi Ken, are you saying with the right additional bits, the Heartbeat blower will fit directly onto the standard LS1 engine?
