No, I didn't know that the General had relit the LT1 light.

But I am delighted that they have. Just spent the last half hour researching the good news… whatta machine. I am still curious how that direct injection is fired.

You've probably already read it, but here's a great article I found on the new LT1. It has a breakout schematic video of the engine… good stuff:

Guys probably gone over this but the new lt1 just a revamped ls3, probably y power rated a lil over the ls3, sexy ride for sure.
Popo did Say if not the c7 then he was scouting c6 z's? Did the ls7 bug bite u or just your love of the Vette evolve, both cars imo are amazing machines but i think with the time waiting till you get a c7 hopefully the aftermarket world will have accepted these new motors, i mean it's just out and lingenfelter is in one and many other shops dabbling can't wait to see what they got in store

Actually there is NOTHING in common between the new LT1 and the LS engines.

Revamped LS3? The LT1 is a Gen 5 engine - an entirely new engine architecture. This isn't like an LS2 compared to an LS3. This is like our LT1s from 93-97 changing over to the LS1 in 1998. Entirely new engine design, entirely new features, etc. First and foremost, the Gen5 engines are direct injected which is a huge departure from the LS series engines.

Now if you're trying to compare output, then yes I'd agree the LT1 is the gen5 equivalent engine to the LS3 just like the LT4 is the gen5 equivalent engine to the LS9.

I hope they develop an intake for this motor that enables it too accept Gen III & IV fuel rails/TB/injectors/ecu....... to simplify the swap.

Exactly only thing the gen 5 shares with the LS3 is the wrist pins. It's a completely new engine.

MEMBER @ LTXtech.com

[BLK95-Z]

Yes, DI is mainly for emissions. I think it would simplify the swap if you could run an LS fuel system.

[joelster]

DI is not just for emissions. It is for running very high compression too. The piston is compressing the air (getting very hot) and there is no fuel YET, so there is no chance for detonation to occur. The new 5.3 in the Silverado has 11-1 compression, the new 6.2 has 11.5-1.

There would be no way to install an LS fuel system in an LT1 car. No real reason to either. The LT1 runs a special injector in the cylinder head/combustion chamber, and it runs at 2175psi.

Might as well throw an opti on it too :jest:

The LT1 runs a special injector in the cylinder head/combustion chamber, and it runs at 2175psi.That was the point....whenever your ready to turn up the wick a set of those injectors is probably a couple thousand dollars. I was reading somewhere (for the life of me cant find it now!) someone was talking about the development of an intake that uses an LS style injector and fuel system to bypass the complex DI computer and fuel system. I guess the injector port would be blocked off?

[popo8]

Sure it would....but so is putting a carb on a LT1/LS1. Im not saying anything is wrong with it now ...

"I figured.... I guess his thinking is the same as mine about putting a carb on an LT1 for my race car.... but I wanted to do it for simplicity and cost effectiveness.... I think the DI is nead (lol Im 5 years old)...."


Its still apples to oranges as putting a carb on an LT1 for a disposable race car is cost effective..... LS1 shit is still not cheap....


Sooooooo back to the point, whats the problem with Direct Injection?

Sooooooo back to the point, whats the problem with Direct Injection?Actually, I said "SIMPLIFY" first in post #42 and didn't repeat anything you said besides maybe carb. This whole idea is mainly speculation from another thread, my bad.

[BLK95-Z]

I apologize for cluttering up the thread with things that don't exist....lol. I swear I read this idea somewhere in one of the 30 page threads about this new engine on tech. It was probably brought up because the computer was rumored to be un-tunable at first. Now that we know they can, this idea is probably out the window.

[Blackbird96WS6]
