Ls Powered TVR's

[flyingdutchie]

I really do not know if this wil fit.

You could give TVR Belgium a call. They have converted a Cerbera to LHD and they may know more about the T350 possibilities.

Well the T350 LS is up and running...

Sorry for the sound quality but you can tell it's a V8.

in the early days there was also a TVR guy in the Netherlands who converted TVR's from RHD to LHD (older types) he lived in the North but moved somewhere else, I believe he also did a bit Ginetta but its to long ago, I forgot his name.

Well done Steve

How does the car fare with cooling?
Any issues with a) getting air into the engine and b) keeping things cool?

Ah, I see/hear your a better mechanic then movie maker
are you pleased so far with the installation?

[shpub]

I know it's not a candidate for the Cannes film festival... but the camera work's a lot better than the Blair Witch Project!

Yep pretty pleased. It fired up first time which is always great. Peter has to finish off the mechanicals and I need to plumb the new ECU into the Dash so that everything works correctly and tidy up the wiring. Just waiting for the connectors at the moment.

The LS runs cooler - at least that is my experience with the Cerbera. It never goes above 95 even in the hottest of days and that is with the standard rad. The cooling system is simplified and has bigger bore piping though. Some additional air ducts have been added to the T350 to improve the air flow which is pretty diabolical to be honest so I am not expecting any cooling problems.

The guy in the North of Holland was living in Leeuwarden. I think he moved to the south, but i lost track of him. He did the older TVR's and also Reliant Scimitar.

Good work. I wish my career was doing what you do rather than the desk job I do. Must be real satisfaction on your part.

[Robertjp]

sounds great, looking like it will be a snug but neat install when its done.

Currently my Tuscan speed six is v poooorly despite its rebuild last year, if its serious and not covered under my warranty i think i will be saving for this conversion instead!

yes indeed, thats him Geert van Hout, thanks, I write it down, always handy.

[Walford]

seems to be lots of talk about big BHP from LS engines, this is only achivable with good headers and exhaust system most TVR,s need major knife work to get there
Fitting an LS engine is easy, with headers a ex pipe capable of big horses is major

Not with these manifolds... Dave and I developed these specifically for TVR conversions and these are fitted to the T350. Better than the standard headers but not cheap.

The TVR conversions have achieved big bhp without getting the knife out.

Is there some kind of idiots guide to the different LS engine/power options open to us all? What are the main differences between LS3/LS6/LS7 engines? (and what about LS4/LS5, did they skip them?).

Ta.

P.S. I'm very happy with my Speed Six engine at the moment, but I like to know my options for the future.
