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

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...

    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
