New power plant Option

What is the serpentine belt width, (number of grooves)that is driving all of the ancillary's?

[gafernandez]

not sure why you are asking this but it is .82 wide 6 rib

I ask as I have an ls with an 8 rib serpentine and I have spent a lot of time trying to eliminate belt slip, it struck me you are running more stuff off one (smaller as it turns out) belt than me.

I have aircon running on a separate belt,an electric water pump, electric power steering and am curious as to whether your set up works without any slip.

This is the same setup as the factory system so it is proven. If you send me a picture of your serpentine system i may be able to figure out why it slips

Superb bit of design and engineering. Really nicely planned and executed.

In two weeks we start installing the next Rossion and right behind that is a Noble

Looks really good! Just ned to see how long the gearbox holds up now.

Transmission should be fine it currently being used in 850 HP drag cars. It is a well proven transmission but no one knows until it has some track time on it

In that case time to start making some more power out of the LS!

I think a set of Kinsler ITBs would look lovely under there. You could even do an airbox that links in to the rear opening.

You are right and they would actually fit

Looks a really neat installation.

The box is rated to 850bhp and clearly fits!

impressive installation

What a beautiful installation, congratulations.

[gafernandez]

thank you all but it was a team effort with lots of colorization between myself and Mike Pernia from Proxses tuning, Mike being the engineering end of the engine and exhaust "he is the magician on spacial concepts and lS motors". I was more the accessory drives and Manufacturing.

Translation he would have the nightmares and i would figure out the details on how to build it

He would say i think it will fit and i would have to figure out how to make it fit.

the stock box is on cars making 850 WHP

Loved watching this progress, very impressed with the level of finish. First class job, well done

Yes but how much torque are they making? I bet your stock engine is probably making a similar peak torque amount and over a much wider RPM band.
