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...

Probably oxidation

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
