SUNNY Z Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Take a look at this guy who is building a supercharged V12 LS for a 240. Yes, I did say V12 http://ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-hybrids/1643786-v12-ls1-build.html Joe Those pics have been circulating for a while. I wrote them off as photoshop! WOW thats truly amazing! The "baby ls" was posted here in a different section. Very cool to know that they are a bi-product of the v12!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastTnZ Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) Pretty sweet and it made the news yesterday! Another one had been put in a suburban and a p-51 plane too apparently. 525hp was thrown around for numbers that the Suburban put down. N/A though not supercharged. Can't wait til it's fired up in the 240 Edited May 7, 2013 by EastTnZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Drove the supercharged LS2 240z that is local to me owned by another member here......WOW =) Traction only an issue if you smash the gas pedal but the car is easily driven like a normal car and will pull from high gears with ease. I would love to see how she drives at a HPDE. Rags, place the order yet? Edited May 17, 2013 by EvilC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rags Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) I'm having second thoughts as my car is sub 3000 lbs. might add some weight first Also, traction is not really limited on Dave's car unless you slip the clutch. Get your foot off the clutch and she just GOES! Edited May 17, 2013 by rags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Where are the used MP1900? LMAO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dans toy Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I think people would have a more favorable opinion once they drove a supercharged car. Very predictable smooth power curve with about 100lbs added to the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Dan you are right, track control needed is your right foot. I love the on demand tq and I wasn't surprised by it like a turbo car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dans toy Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Where are the used MP1900? LMAO LS1TECH would be the first place I'd look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rags Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Cable actually has one but its for a truck accessory drive. I think he wants $3500 for it. I was thinking about it but I'd have to rethink how the ac compressor would mount and I don't want to go down that road again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shupee Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Bear in mind that if you have longer belt the 6 rib WILL NOT WORK IT WILL SLIP AT 8 lbs or more trust me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rags Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 How many degrees of belt contact do you have on the pulley? We're running over 180 degrees of contact. I think contact patch has a lot to do with belt slippage. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dans toy Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Bear in mind that if you have longer belt the 6 rib WILL NOT WORK IT WILL SLIP AT 8 lbs or more trust me!! Good point. I had to use the heavy duty tensioner and added an idler pulley directly below the alternator for the long run of the belt. There is an existing hole in the stock bracket that works perfectly. running 8 1/2 lbs. boost, 6 rib no trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shupee Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Have over 190 degrees of wrap on sc pulley my problem is actually the length of belt and yes additional idlers would have helped but I'm running the qwik ac brackets and could not utilize one. I do have the sexie Katech manual tensioner which helped but I still had slip around! 10-11 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
