Fitting LSA blower to L77?

[Micks]

I'm surprised Che (forum sponsor) hasn't chimed in here as 99% sure he done one recently & Justin is doing the wiring ext kits for L76, L77, L98, LS3 for LSA blower upgrades.
Buggered if I can find the FB links now

CHE did my wagon. That was the one on their FB page.

Justin did my sensor extensions and standalone intercooler pump wiring.

Edit: Since then I have done 10% OD and ID1000 injectors.

Guys this is all awesome info, just what i was after. Will make it 10000% easier to price up, and begin collecting parts etc so i dont **** around the shop when the time comes. Keep it comin' boys

More than happy to share any info as the install happens. Any things in particular you want to know? The post below you by scotty82 has a lot of good info as well.
Like he said, picking up a second had blower with parts on it is a huge bonus, I got mine with 3500km on it for 3k. I am also upgrading the isolator coupling to a solid one from
Yella Terra as Brad advised me that the factory one is rubbish.

$3k is about what i expected to pay. Got offered a 2nd handie with 2.55 pulley and a harrop induction for $5500. I thought it was abit steep? but havent seen many for sale to compare etc

L77... AFM... DoD delete and cam swap. LS9 cam is a very good option.

Is the DOD delete a must? how does it interfere with the LSA blower? Also does anyone know what makes the blower clear the GTS bonnet etc but not the previous models? Do they have a bigger bonnet hump etc or is it all in the mounts?

The DOD delete is not a must for the blower just if you are going to put a cam in. Mine is already DOD delete with cam and shaved heads. I am also going a custom air intake that
Brad is going to fabricate, he did one on a Camaro and reckons it flows far better than any of the other intake options. The VF has a mild bonnet hump that will allow the blower to fit,
VE requres cutting of engine mounts to lower the whole engine and then trans also to suit. I believe alternatively you can muck around with the K_Frame??

Most informative post I've seen on here in ages. Good stuff.

Also if you read the Pontiac G8, Chevy SS and Camaro forums about LSA installations be aware about part number lists. Some of these threads are 3-4 years old.

I quoted some of these part numbers to Holden and they came up NLA (No Longer Available) and have been superseded.

Is very true that & also quite a few GM US part nos are not available on our systems in Aus.

I had to purchase the snap on fitting for the intercooler hoses from the states and then get it shipped to NY to my daughter and then shipped to me, ended up costing me over
$120 for a small plastic snap on fitting lol. Buggered if I could find it anywhere other than this one place though, and they didn't ship to OZ.

Just on buying LS spares through your local Holden dealer on avg these spares can be inflated by 200%. 3yrs ago I ordered a dod del kit from Speedinc, which I forgot to get the timing cover gasket was nearly $140 from my local stealership

That's a shame :-( There are kits sold in the USA which convert the barb to a -12 AN 90* fitting, CNC inlet/outlet plate with hoses for USD$125. Google ZL1 lid -12 hose kit.

There's loads of freight forwarding places for cases like that if anyone doesn't have a relative/friend that can do it

Nor Holden or HSV would help me with LSA blower parts, told me they cannot source them.

Where was this thread 3 months ago lol

I have a friend who is a workshop manager at a Dealership. He helped sort out parts for me.

However the parts department wanted a GTS VIN and Build number before ordering. Lucky a workmate has a 2016 GTS so I just quoted his details.

Initially I asked another dealership for parts and they weren't too keen to help out.
