Id give it a try!!!

[popo8]

I know some of you have seen this on ANOTHER site.......

Its BEAUTIFUL!!!


Id swap out the Procharger for one!!!

I vant it

[SexyTransAm]

oh my that sexy

[94ta383]

Would definitely cut the cowl to fit one of those

I missed that, I did read that it says it will fit under a stock hood.....

[shadowbandit]

I remember last year the gm perfomance magazine they had a lt1 trans am with a blower on it and it really got me thinking if people make them for our cars. but a whipple helll yes i want.
EEEHHHHH EHHHHH EHHHHHH VROOM.....

[Fastbird]

I'd totally rock that over my turbo. Instatorque. That for the LT?

I do believe so... I guess this has been many years in the works to get this to work for the LTX

[Zlow28]

any more info on these? looks interesting

[popo8]

I posted the link the designer had made..... lotsa pics in the thread and some explaination....

[Chris]

Did he finally release it?

[popo8]

Says he is gonna put it on this spring....

[Zlow28]

ahh i just saw the OTHER site lol. Definately gonna consider one of these if the numbers are as impressive.

Same here. Definitely a cool looking piece

[SexyTransAm]

so when is jegs or summit goin to start selling em? lol CAUSE I WANT ONE!!!

[CamaroZGuy]

that is pure sex!

[Chris]

That roots manifold finally being released would be reason enough for me to buy another lt1 car. Any doubt in my mind about getting something newer would be cast aside. Fuck a c5, fuck a srt8 magnum, fuck an evo. Hands down would be having clayton racing build me a motor to put that on

[Fastbird]

Someone linky me to the "other site" where the info is. I want to research this some.

[SexyTransAm]

Thanks Larry. I wonder if a bigger whipple could be fit? Or if the.base plate would work with a TVS blower.......ooh the though of that.......

the only draw back i see it the 6 rib belt. personally i would have set it up the drive off a dedicated 10 rid pulley.

[Phstratton]

I had actually seen that around this time last year, but they weren't done yet, only taking pre-orders...that's sick. I wonder how much it will cost.

I think my procharger only runs a 6 or 8 rib belt..... Is there a difference in resistance with the types of blowers?

More ribs, more surface contact area, less chance of slip.

I am not sure how much difference there is between a centrifugal and the screw. But I do know we had to slow ours down because we were breaking 8 rib belts every 4 runs.

:shame: Not sure the 2.9L will support the power you are looking for. I still think you can squeeze more hp/tq out of your setup. Now, if you were gonna slap a 4.0L charger on there... :devil:

Jon

[96lt1m6]

Freakin awesome power adder! Can't wait to see price tag though............

[Chris]

Hope it will be competitive with a procharger set up on price no? Arnet they at least 6k before any additions?

[popo8]

What are you referring to the whipple or the prochargers?

Oh I know I can get more out of mine currently, but my oh my the torque.

For a procharger system. I thought they were quite expensive

Depends on which one, and intercooler or not....etc. 3-6g

[v7guy]

well just the whipple is 2500, give or take. Add in the lower intake, meth, inj, etc and I don't think it's a stretch to see it knocking on 6 or 7 as a complete kit.

[Project96]

Here is the start of his project. He made the intake baseplate out of styrofoam. Awsome to see a finished piece.

But what is it equivalent to? I mean the F1a kits are like 7g new....

[Chris]

Popo, you buy this I buy your old tired obsolete procharger? =)

Well then, we will be taking in a few months I am sure

[popo8]

Arent you gonna ask me how much I want for mine????

[Chris]

Figured youd pm me, but no point in asking currently since I don't own a lt1

[popo8]

LOL..... well lemme know when you are ready...

[Chris]

Well Lemme know what you are thinking to decide if I would even be ready

[popo8]

LOL.... ok, I still have some possibilities with my BABY BLOWER for now....

[Chris]

So...... Your saying.......

and neither am I.... lol

Well damnit Larry ! If you are not committed to this you are going to lose me and flowers and dinner wont cut it this time around!

[AChotrod]

I love that set up!!!

[v7guy]

thats the 7g question lol
only time will tell i suppose. I haven't bothered looking to see what they are capable of. If I remember right he was talking 750 at the wheels which would put it at the high end of a D1, he also said maybe 1000hp. That would be more in line with an F1/YSi.
I'm looking forward to the results either way.

[Fastbird]

Basing it off the standard Maggie kits for the LSx stuff, it's probably going to be in the area of 7-8 G's if I had to take a guess.

[CALL911]

Although it looks dead sexy, and I love seeing new things for our cars, I have not been sold on roots style blowers. Instant torque? Sure. But with most guys setups, (mine included), the last place I want all the torque is right off the bat where I need traction the most. This is to say nothing about the fact that roots style blowers are huge heat soakers that will start robbing you of ponies as soon as they get hot (which they do shortly after you start getting into the boost).

Maybe I am alone on this one, but I'll stick to my centrifugal style blower without regret.

Your always the party pooper Ben.... No one can have fun doing nothing when your around....


NAHHHH, Im just playing... good points. ANd glad your back on here posting!!!


PS- I was looking at the specs of the P1 and the D1.... not MUCH difference.... ;)

Yeah, I seemed to have been very lucky getting on here the last 24 hours where previously I couldn't from where I am.

Anyways, to comment on the P1SC vs D1SC; the P1SC is rated at a max cfm of 1200, where the D1SC has a Max cfm of 1400. That may not seem like much of a difference, but keep in mind how powerful the F1 is, and it is only 1525 cfm. That difference is even less significant compared to the cfm difference between the P1SC and the D1SC. :)

I am just making sure you still know that my D1SC is better than your weak P1SC...

Lol, now I am just playin' with you. :)

I think you are going to have a very stout setup Larry. I would think with your heads and intake combo alone, even with the P1SC, you still should be making more power at the wheels than me in the end. I am really happy to see you finding the bugs in your system and upgrading. I am hoping we can line up during the next shootout for fun. I will enjoy it as a friendly competition. Unlike some Mustang and LSX owners that I make it a point not to make the competition a friendly one...

Well, I haven't been around for months. It seems like you are on your way just fine, and have tons of time before the shootout. Knowing what a fellow die-hard LT1 guy you are, why wouldn't you race it? You are not one of those guys that drops that kind of coin, spends that kind of effort to have a beast, and then doesn't race it because he is afraid it will break or something are you?

Really its just because of the distance. For me the fun is the 1400+ drive... not the 1/4 mile...

I don't get it. You don't like racing? You wouldn't want to finally put to use the whole purpose of putting together a fully forged, stroked, blown LT1 at what is the summit of all opportunities (the LTX Shootout) in front of the friends who respect you more than anyone?

That AC... that leather interior... that 20+ mpg..... THAT is what I like about driving. Hammering on it for 1/4mile, does not do "it" for me.

[CALL911]

Okay bro, I can respect that. But why all the go fast parts if you never plan on going fast?

[QC97Z]

I believe he is. A CMM, ProEngineer/Solidworks/Audesk Inventor (Some sort of parametric 3D modeling software), and a multi-axis (I would think a 6 axis would do it) CNC mill could make fairly short work of it (if you have lots of time to spend on it). Really, what he's doing isn't all that difficult if you have the tools above (if your'e an engineer :) ) The foam modeling that he was doing just helps plan the project easier. I believe the piece he machined was not cast (billet).

I wish I had the knowledge to design and make something like that. With tools like those the mod possibilities would be endless.

All depends on its cost, and capabilities for SAID cost....

[QC97Z]

Yep, this is true. That guy's thread sparked my interest in sharpening my 3D modeling skills..so I downloaded Autodesk Inventor and am starting to design some things. I'd like to design some things for the LTX market (based off popular desires), and work with a supplier/retailer to get them going. I'd sell the R&D to them for pretty cheap, compared to how much it would cost to do the design work themselves. I just like to design stuff and see the LTX market get a bit more for options.

Example of having good tools to work with as an engineer that works at a factory: I designed a bracket, cut it on a laser, and bent it. Now I have a nice bracket for mounting my master cylinders for my hot rod to...no drilling or fitting needed...took about 30 minutes:)
