Starting LSA conversion
 
well I went ahead and pulled the trigger. Bought a nice used LSA lower unit and ordered the conversion kit from Andy a ADM. Ive also ordered a new ZL1 fuel pump, magnuson heat exchanger for the camaro, and FIC 72lb injectors. Of course the injectors are 72lb@ 3bar, so will actually be 81lb@4 bar on my car. Im keeping my cam I have now and see how wel it does. it has 0 deg of overlap and is on a 114+4 lsa, so i think it will be fine. Went ahead and ought injectors that I had room to grow into to! I forsee several pulley changes. Ill update thread as I progress.

Nice! Good luck with the build.

Congrats! A6 or M6?

LSA on the cam may be tight. I'm 112 and the idle and cold start is rough. Vacuum is low on startup and brake peddle is hard..

Good luck!

+1!

Hope my build thread helps. This one should be an easier one than mine!

I experimented on mine and will probably do a few more just for my education.

Can't wait to see this one...

all my parts are here, but im super bummed. The bearings in the snout of the blower I purchased are bad and are making noise. Hope this is an easy fix. Anyone have an idea of who to contact to get them replaced?

I thought those could be repacked with the 'blue' lube. Andy will know if that may work. Also, there is a thread on how to update the coupler etc. it may also have some info...
