learn me: LS1 and the D-1SC setup

[Bru]

What fuel system?

 

[DEEZUZ]

From what I've heard stock system but aftermarket pump.

Cons price vs power.

These kits are not cheap and produce little power for the price. You could make the same type of power on a 1000 dollar nitrous setup vs this 5000 blower kit.

Pros.

It looks cool under the hood. Boost doesn't run out. That's pretty much the only plus until you step up to a major procharger kit.

You can't run nitrous at all times on the street. I hate the comparison of FI vs nitrous. If you're doing an all out track setup, then I'd agree.

But for a true street car... Meh.

bigger injectors. stock exhaust except mufflers. and yes bigger injectors.

def sounds like someone just dropped the car off at a shop and had a kit installed. could be bad/good..

 

[boostedguy05]

Do you know what shop?

that would be the good or bad news.

 

[DEEZUZ]

exotic performance plus. used to be out of fort wayne indiana

 

[Blood on Blood]

Buy it

 

[boostedguy05]

if you can swing it, get it!

 

[boostedguy05]

trading a trusty rusty for it?

 

[boostedguy05]

are you looking at the one with the black rims? that looks nice!

i had a 99 formula with a D1SC and ati fluiddamper, long tube headers, slp dual dual exhaust, ls6 intake and 60lb injectors had a 3600 convertor in it and two fuel pumps. this was maybe 8 - 9 years ago. stock everything else. went 11.1 @ 126 and I drove it every where. that whine/whistle at idle was awesome.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Would be manual. I'm kinda comparing it to a Termi

Dis why I'm getting a blower car, nitrous is awesome when you use it, but I want it every time I get on the gas

Say that to my face!!!!

In all reality who cares what condition the motor is in. Boost the fucker till it blows then swap in an LQ4. LS shit is stupid cheap.

Yes, I haz brand new 5.3 here so motor isn't of HUGE concern but still... I don't think this car was built right

 

[boostedguy05]

is it the closed up shot part that worries you?

 

[DEEZUZ]

is it the closed up shot part that worries you?

Yesss... The fact that the owner may not have been educated on a supercharged car, fuel rating, AF ratio... All that...

He's against the wall though cause he's asking double bluebook. No 17 year old can get financed

How long has it had the blower on it??? I wouldn't worry about it at the horsepower level it's at. But If I bought it ir would straight in for a tune as soon as the car was in my possession

 

[DEEZUZ]

Not sure how long. Yup that what's happening if I buy. I'd pull a plug to check burn, but it's not a concrete answer

 

[greasy]

Sounds like you are not going to get the answers you want, you are just going to have to take the chance on buying it. LSx motors are a plenty and cheap, I would just quit being a pussy and pull the trigger.

You've been served, Alex!

That jem of a 14+ year old car is not out there for inexpensive . Buy what you like and fix what needs fixing. And enjoy the damn car!
