Supercharged LS1 Cerb runs at last!!

AJP70

I am not totally suprised by the higher output of the LS3. The head design is a nice one.

Are you decatted or are they on?

Mine's is a 6 litre, but same headdesign. I am hoping for the results where you were hoping for. In Australia they seem to be getting 400hp's at the wheels with this 6 litre, provided exhaust is good.

So GM's tune is rather dull I think.

Anyone want to buy my AJP lump

Thanks for the comments boys, theres still lots to do though.

I've used the original Chev engine wiring harness and ECU, it must be the only ever TVR which is OBDII compliant

Here's a couple of pics of the wiring I put together to link the TVR car loom with the Chev engine loom.



The fuse box sits in the passenger footwell, the large umbilical cord runs behind the dash to the ECU which sits where the brake master cylinder use to sit.




The ecu runs the fuel pump, high/low speed fans etc through the fuses and relays. Everything connects into the TVR loom through one plug, also in the passenger footwell. Its the plug the MBE loom use to connect to, so it was easy to link up rev counter, shift light, MIL light etc.

Thanks for the comments boys,

I recon I'm going to change my sign on name, when I first joined I was one of only a few who would take a spanner to their own car, now there's loads of like minded people out there

Supercharger fits no prob under the original bonnet, the sump is 10mm below the bottom chassis rail.





IIRC I paid £3500 for the supercharger kit, ex demo kit, 630bhp is what I've heard for mine at 12psi with a mild cam, std everything else. Its at 6psi at the moment, hoping to see the magic 500bhp with the option to go to 9psi if I don't. Wouldn't mind camming it when I fit my LS7 clutch I've got kicking around but we'll see what its like first.

Morning Don , bash plate is 2 x original spacers plus a couple of washers low, although with the flex tubes fitted the silencers will sit a bit higher now so I'll probably adjust it once the diff and prop are back in. I wanted a minimum of 100mm ground clearance, as per our Skyline. I'm more worried about hitting the carbon front splitter than knocking the exhaust that would hurt.....I think I'd cry.

Its sitting 150mm front and 160mm rear measured to the corners of the out riggers at the moment, does that sound about right??

Rich.

Thats a fantastic price you got.I was given the claimed 630bhp with the addition of intercoolers in to the package.There are some pics on the net somewhere of the set-up.I think water injection was mentioned as well.

Deal! But just so you know my Z06 is not as heavy as other Z06's! It lighter by about the weight of an LS7
