My bad, it's actually the LSA, which is similar to and based on the LS9...but made for the Camaro ZL1.

FWIW, from what I read, standard boost on the LS9 with 476kw is 10psi. Guessing LSA runs ~5-6psi.

Yep, I called the use of the LS9 :D

Was the obvious choice without building their own engine...

Which is good news, because the same engine appearing in the ZR1 Corvette has 476kw and 819nm (!!!) of torque. HSV pulling their usual detuning tricks methinks...

I reckon that acceleration time will be conservative...unless they have it hooked up to a shitty transmission...cause even 2 tonne luxo barges with 400kw+ are down to 4 seconds for 0-100. In any case, there is no replacement for displacement, so if you got the cash to burn it'll be a better starting point for tuning than the GTE.

inb4 Leigh loses to one on the street :P

Bring it on!! :P

Looks like it's intercooler and pulley time if that hapens!

Previous HSV autos have been sheit, and manuals are just slow for drags compared to a good auto.

Yea ZL1 has the same power as the HSV will have 580hp or whatevs

Get a real engine like the Mustang GT500 :P 440rwkw ftw!

LSA only has 1.9lt supercharger as well (same as mine) whereas the LS9 has 2.3lt supercharger, then you got the difference in heads cams etc. LS9 also has forged internals and LSA doesn't :P

see Aaron knows ;)

it was pretty bad, scratched up n shit..not something I could fix in an afternoon...but had a crack at it...

then after taking about 4 million photos I find out I need a new camera cause they are nearly all blurry... :rant:

I also advised him to invest in some black paint for them wheels... :P

#@ARTZ Are you located in the east side? Might need a polish/wax detail or whatever you want to call it as my paint is stuffed after a trip to Phillip Island.
Got these weird patches all over the car and can't wash it off for some reason...

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
