3800 ILGPC IC

[215laujboy]

I was interested in your IC and needed some more info about it. Can you guys point me in the right direction? Also was this the IC that was tested against ZZP's.

TT LP 3800, or Mike K. Mike K is selling them on his website now.

The MAP IC was the one tested against the ZZP one. I do beleive ZZP has an initial test pre-production LP IC that he tested privately but never published any results.

 

[Mike K]

Isn't the MAP IC the one that crashed and burned compared to the other ICs?

 

[imported_Ron Vogel]

Comperably speaking, I'd say of the Map, ZZP, and LP IC...that performance-wise, the LP will prolly end up towards the end of the pack, with ZZP out front. However, ALL 3 work very well, and will allow a much smaller pulley and some added timing. I have the LP IC, and am running a 2.8 pulley, with no head work or rockers, and stock ported Ex mani's. With this combo I have no KR, so it does something, and I have the first design core which isn't as good. LP's machining is very nice, and it's a good looking unit.

Thanks Alex.

Ron, thanks for the info..."end up towards the end of the pack" huh...

Is there a 2nd gen core in the works?

 

[imported_Ron Vogel]

I believe the 2nd gen core is what's being sold currently. I have Gen 1.

Ron, I'm almost certain that you have the Gen2 LP3000 IC. The Gen2 has a bigger heat exchanger than the Gen1's.

2.8" with 0-KR and no headwork; no rockers sounds pretty good to me.

J.E.T.
2.6" pulley with 1.x of KR

We're actually going on a Gen III core.

It will be a lot nicer than the last ones as far as machining goes. Brian is making it so that it will come out further under the snout so you can utilize that bolting point, avoiding the possibility of a vacuum leak there. The hose routing will also be a little different.

I just ordered one so Mike and I can whore his car out after nationals.

 

[alexgtp]

IM still waiting for mine. Mine was to be exchanged when these were ready. I am still going to run the one I have I want to see if I can reduce the curretn knock I am seeing..

 

[215laujboy]

When will the 3rd gen cores be available? Mike K, is WBodyStore.com your site?

 

[Mike K]

According to Brian, the new setup is about 2 weeks out.

W Body Store is mine, yes.

 

[CoolGTX]

ive been waiting 4 weeks for my gen III so far, what gives.

I hope to get this VERY SOON.

 

[Mike K]

I'm in the same line as you guys Johnny.

 

[jp98GTP]

I actually have mine already ordered, and was curious as to whether or not it's going to be a Gen 2 or 3. It's still being machined IIRC, and waiting on a few other parts before it gets sent to me. I think I was number 4 in the most recent batch of 5, and I ordered it straight from Brian.

Believe all new ic's are gen 3 now.

This is correct. The new design improves the seal against the manifold and blower and makes for easier routing of the hosing.

Awesome, so that means that's what should be on the way to me. Glad to hear it.

Why doesnt LP answer any questions anymore?

 

[Mike K]

Brian doesn't seem to peruse the forum that often anymore. If you have any question, feel free to forward them to me.
