[wastedrubber]

Good stuff! Based on a quick search, it looks like one should be able to acquire all the parts for the swap for under 3k. Pretty damn inexpensive for forced induction. A cam swap to non DOD stuff is around, what, $600 for the delete kit and a cam? Very reasonable power surge.

What about a fuel pump or injectors, are they not needed?

[johnbell2]

good point... LSA or LS9 injectors and ZL1 fuel pump?

[jcmGT]

The lsa blower install covers many options ranging from full on squash dual pump, pd cam and Mongo weaponx IC HX in place of crash bar to a blower only with bap, LSA injector and Mustang IC HX mounted under the crash bar with afm still working.

Can this thread be organized in such a way to keep if from being a run-on? Would it better to have the PN etc in a xls that can be download?

From my experience, the lsa itself is same as swapping an intake and adding idle/tensioner. The cam work is same as any DoD delete. The challenge is figuring out the IC setup and CAI which much is personal preference.

yet another find today

lsaconversion.com


Would have done these instead of the welded fittings (http://lsaconversion.com/collections/lsa-conversion-kit-parts/products/lsa-supercharger-quick-connects),

[4d00rv3tt3]

these lists are a great source for reference. keep em coming. i for one would like some options for a better HX, since these are prone to heat soak. i dont think with this style blower youll ever get rid of that problem, but if it will run a little cooler than why not explore options? keep em coming guys all this talk is making me want to order more parts haha.

[bryand]

This is a great thread. Subbed for the info.

[Phil@PnP Tech]

Here is how I handled the ground stud on the passenger side...

I scoured the local U-Pull for a stud I could use in the idler bracket and came across this:

24241

Top is the stud I found and bottom is the factory LSA bolt. It's an alternator bolt off a series III 3.8L found on many fwd gm cars. Turns out it's just a bit too long so I knocked off about 6 threads and this is what I finished with:

24242

Makes for a nice mount for the ground and because it indexes on the hex, it can be twisted up and away from the exhaust.

The bolt is PN: 24507943.

[G8 GT V8]

That's pretty slick Phil...

[jcmGT]

My passenger side ground solution was to use the stud that holds the dipstick.

[glanzergtx]

This next week im hoping to finish up my how to.

[terryscott621]

look forward to seeing the "idiot proof" how to :)

Will the Holley EFI fuel rails fit on the LSA supercharger? Until I can test fit, the fuel rail was not ordered.

[Phil@PnP Tech]

I do not believe there are any aftermarket rails that fit the OEM superchargers due to the recessed injector bosses.

You do have 2 choices of OEM rails though. The LSA and LS9 rail. The LSA rail is a little taller and fuel enters the passenger side while the LS9 rail is a bit shorter and fuel enters the drivers side. It gives you a little more clearance around the coolant ports on the lid. The LS9 rail does require some slight clearancing around the bypass actuator boss. Cost should be the same. I would recommend the LS9 rail.

LSA: 12605222 or 12622235
LS9: 12602070

[hartigan85]

Finally finished my LSA install. Had problem with the Holley valve covers and flooding the supercharger with oil so I swapped back to the stock covers. The whole install took a while but i didn't want it to look just thrown together.

First I completely disassembled the blower and ported the snout and then the supercharger to match. While it was apart I cleaned and greased the needle bearings and painted the case and snout. Also installed the ADM 2.5 pulley.

24348

I used the IW balancer and metco 9.5 ring, the balancer is a work of art. My crank was keyed so I didn't have to worry about drilling and pinning it. You can aslo see where I mounted the HX pump as well. I have the pump wired to a relay which is triggered by a circuit added to the fuse box. Also added a 15amp circuit to supply 12v to the relay/pump.

24349

I used the lingenfelter idler bracket so I could use the stock 76mm lower idler and a 105mm upper idler to help with the belt wrap on the 2.5 supercharger pulley.

24350

Lots of other stuff I'm probably forgetting but here is the final product.

24351

24352

Frozen boost heat exchanger looks sick behind the GXP bumper.

24353

[matts88yj]

Very clean install! I'm sure it scoots with that 402 as well. Very nice build! Would love to know long term how you like the LSA, if you would change anything and little stuff like that.

[D00by]

Awesome build Hartigan!! What Hx from frozen boost did you go with?

[hartigan85]

Thanks a lot. I went with the type 118, It is a tight fit and I had to do a little cutting of some plastics. Not sure if you 3.5" deep one would fit. I'm sure there are better ones out there but since I also use the superchiller I have no need for anything crazy.

[-Ray-]

Got a look at the supercharger and top cover this morning. Ordered the LS9 fuel rail. Need to get the plate to drill the heads for the locator pin. Is there a coolant pump that comes with the supercharger? Seems I'm missing that piece.

[Phil@PnP Tech]

Need to get the plate to drill the heads for the locator pin.
I have the LPE tool. PM me if interested. It's pricey...

[Doug Hilliard]

I just used a punch to break off the locator tube on the blower since it locates pretty well without it anyway. On the intercooler pump, I bought the ZL1 which is a brushless motor powered pump built by the company I used to work for. It is a very nice part that flows really well. Typically it is bought separate from the supercharger since there are a hand-full of choices.

Nice build Hartigan!!! That thing has got to be crazy with the 2.5 upper and 9.5 lower! How much boost?

[-Ray-]

I saw the Bosch pump, less expensive on Lingenfelter. I'll talk to Greg. I still need a coolant tank as well.

[Doug Hilliard]

I saw the Bosch pump, less expensive on Lingenfelter. I'll talk to Greg. I still need a coolant tank as well.

The ZL1 pump flows much better that the Bosch but it is certainly more expensive; LPE did testing on several and you can see the results here (see the graph on post 1):
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=288728

I went with a Magnuson reservoir with mine but many go with the Cobalt SS as I think it is smaller and probably cheaper too but I'm pleased with the outcome on mine.

[-Ray-]

Thanks brother.

[Doug Hilliard]

Thanks brother.
Anytime Ray!

[jcmGT]

Went with ZL1 IC pump on mine. Besides the flow, I found the included mount bracket worked well. Heads up on the pigtail for it, you have to buy separate.

I have the cobalt fill but ended up with a fill tank for a '12 GT500. The tank came with my purchase of a GT500 IC rad, fits and functions well. Of coarse, it now means there is some ford DNA bolted up, yet no one has pointed out the motorcraft logo yet.

You may want to start thinking about CAI, seems every install is different there too.

here is the IC tank

LSA specific exhaust manifold gasket pn 12620947 (http://grrrr8.net/showthread.php?t=42202)

I have used 12617944 (LS3/L76) in the past without issue, on the other hand, must be a reason GM has a specific LSA PN.

[hartigan85]

Nice build Hartigan!!! That thing has got to be crazy with the 2.5 upper and 9.5 lower! How much boost?

Thanks Doug. It definitely screams peaking at 14lbs and that's on the 402 at 4300 ft in elevation. At sea level it would be 16lbs+.

[4d00rv3tt3]

Just finished ordering all my swap parts, I ended up getting the AFX IC pump from greg, it seems to be reliable and comes with the pigtail connector. any easy places to tap for power for the IC pump Id imagine anywhere key on power is avail, but i was curious where everyone was getting their power supply from? I also went with the stock LSA injectors since im running stock pullies (booo) but will be running the CTS-V pump with vaporworx and spraying methanol!! gonna take it slow and make sure thats enough injector!! keep em coming guys this thread drives me harder to want to get it done every time i read it.

[farsighted770]

very cool that all this is coming together for so many of us.

[BigV8]

On my Maggie the used a relay and got power from F37 hvac fuse using a fuse tap.

[jcmGT]

I'm on the ZL1 IC pump that has internal relay, I grabbed the signal from the unused AFM connector (key on) and power direct, with fuse, from the positive post on the driver strut tower

[Phil@PnP Tech]

Another Tip:
When running the 20944524 ZL1 brake booster hose, you will need a 19181416 booster check valve. The hose size is slightly larger than stock. This check valve plugs right into the G8 booster and accepts the larger ZL1 hose.

[Wagonbacker9]

Has anyone confirmed whether or not the LSA blower will bolt on over the DOD setup?

There has been speculation that it would go on over the 09.5 valley cover. I don't know that anyone has actually attempted it. It will NOT go on over the 08/09 cover.

[Phil@PnP Tech]

ATI LSA balancer blems back on eBay. These are super nice dampers. Save a few hundred bucks.

http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=191617232406&alt=web

I run a LPE 9.55" pulley on mine and it's about the largest pulley you can get on there without hitting a/c and trans cooler lines.

I love my apparently unblemished blemished ATI.

[Wagonbacker9]

That's about the only place. Most just connect the hose straight to the fittings and use a worm clamp. Or tap/cut out the fittings, enlarge the hole and weld on 12an bungs. They need to be offset a little for 12an, 10an works good too.
There is also 3/4" heater hose that has 90 bends on one end for decent price

Even so, I asked them previously if their kit would work for the G8 and they said you would have to change some pieces... It's more geared toward Camaro owners...

I have an L76 out of a G8 I'm swapping into my 72 Chevelle... I'm very temped to slap an LSA blower on it.

I priced this out for all new parts and I came up with a total of about $3600, not including shipping. If I wait for someone selling some take out injectors, it looks to be in the neighborhood of about $33-3400. Going with a used supercharger looks like you can get it all for in the neighborhood of $2500 +- a hundred or two...

What's the cheapest anyone has put this kit together for?? What's average cost to do this, is my math in the right ball park?

It really depends if you want just a stock LSA sc or if your even thinking of doing any upgrades might as well do it all at once. Keeping everything stock with HX, HX pump, lsa injectors etc $3k sounds about right for used but with the Stk fuel pump it could run out of fuel up top... There's going to be some moderate amount of diy work(added $ for parts) for extending harnesses, removing dowel from bottom of SC, HX system, Fuel rail connection and intake to name a few...
I purchased a used Ported SC for $1800 which wasn't cheap but also had the bearings replaced. I changed the SC oil myself, upgraded the lid to ZL1, 2.4 upper, id1000's. Also currently using a ZL1 fuel pump, generic heat exchanger with a cwa50 water pump, GForce 4.5" INTAKE with Ported LS7 TB. Have been running it for almost a year now, getting ready to install a 9.1 lower(swap upper to 2.5), tpis 102mm TB with custom 5" intake, cts-v fuel pump with kb bap activated w/hobbs switch and also removing the HX completely and installing a killerchiller which will be activated full time since I'm in FL.

I did mine for $1800, that was with a few hand me down parts from my buddy's V though. Made 514rwhp with stock pulley size with room to spare if I leaned it out a bit. I want to say when I added it up with out the hand me downs I came out around 2300 - 2500 depending on options of purchases.

This isn't factoring in anything like fuel pump or upgraded injectors. I'm using a stock V HE, pump, injectors and Lid. May be picking up his old pump setup in a month or so if I feel like screwing with making it work. :)

Hello, Sorry to revive an old thread but I had a lifter go down in my 2009 GT and since I will be doing an DOD delete I decided to go with the LSA swap as well there is a ton of good info in here but I have some questions I pray someone can help me with. First I see brackets in the list for the accessories so does that mean we are able to reuse our old ones? I have a new compressor and alternator and I got the PPV alt as well so I hate to loose them, also as for the fuel is the boost pumps the only way to go or can we upgrade the factory fuel pump? Last I never seen anything on the wiring , do we need to modify our harness or is there a kit to plug and play and do we need a CTS-V top harness and splice in to our current harness , as well do we reuse our PCM and re-flash it to work or need an CTS-v PCM as well? Thank you in advance and any help will be greatly appreciated.

1. Brackets?
2. Fuel?
3. Wiring?
4. PCM?

[STL_G8GT]

Boost a pump at least, I'd think. Otherwise, zl1 pump with regulator and splice into stock wiring or ctsv system and vaporworx boost referenced controller also spliced in.

Keep same ECM, Wiring I have no idea otherwise - probably some splicing and extending (iat and map at least). Of course you'll need a full tune by a local tuner ideally.

I think you use an lsa dampner and then just change pulleys on the accys, but dont quote me on it.

Good luck. Keep searching, there are some pretty good diy threads around.

[Doug Hilliard]

Yes, you will reuse all the accessories with the exception of the water pump which I think you have to change to the LS3. You can use a stock ZL1 balancer (I found a take-off at a local shop for $50) and it uses a separate belt so your serpentine stays driving the accessories only.

Tons of info in this thread and others if you go back to the start.. I've started gathering parts for mine.

You need a different valley cover as the DOD won't clear
pullies and brackets off an LSA motor, water pump as well as the outlet is different
blower and intake, different fuel lines
extend the harness for TB and TPS, MAP
Lower pulley either CTSV or ZL1 balancer, and pin it to the crank.. I like the ATi version so it's removeable easier if I decide to upgrade the balancer
injectors
tune

You can shop around and piece it together, or get a complete kit with new parts and refurbed blower for $5000 (which is quite a bit less than the Maggie I was looking at originally)

fuel, I am going with the Vaporworx CTSV setup since it's more or less drop in

I am going farther into it on mine... ordered PRC Stg 2.5 heads, BTR Stg 3 cam, already have LT headers and cat delete, also have a 2.5 upper pulley and plan to have the blower ported

Other things like upgrade the trunnions on the rockers or replace them (mine have over 100K on them so I will get new)
Plug the relief valve in the pan
New pushrods (possibly)

Main thing is take your time and study all the info out there

FWIW, Tooley has a new stage 3 "torque cam", makes better low end.

Can live with a little bottom end loss... 2800 stall and one of the goals was to have a good lope... driveability be damned... LOL!

Any part numbers for hoses?

Has anyone tried the Lingenfelter ZL1 intercooler tank? Or does anyone know how close the G8 inner fender is to the Camaro?

I tried to make it work... but it wasn't a great fit. It doesn't quite fit over the stud it is supposed to mount on and the bottom kicks out towards the header. The outlet fitting (supplied plastic) is just an inch or so away from the exhaust. Other's have made it work but it just wasn't a clean install and foreseen future issues with it. Roto-Fab (the maker of the tank) had issues with the lid sealing... supposedly they fixed it but people still reported it leaking. It just sits in a bad spot to pick up a lot of heat.

Good enough. I will continue looking for ideas on an intercooler tank.
