is there something in the water up your way beef with ls1's & 2 , i was talking to jacko at ford fair about his mates castrol mk1 escort running rover v8 and he said he was trying to convince his mate to put an ls1 in it lol

the ls1 isnt really the best engine , after speaking to a few folk on this if your going to go ls , needs to be at least an ls2
yeah aparently jackos been given a ls1 and a supercharger kit off some one
id like friends who give away 4ks worth of engine !!
andys mk 1 is the nuts , !! deserves a proper v8 imo !!

the gen 4 ls2 variant is the 6.0 mate , 400 out the crate iirc ,
I will try and find the link, but there is some nutter out there getting 1100BHP and over 1000 ft/lb's with a twin turbo setup on a (i think) LS6

couldn't find it but THIS link has another,
nearly 1000bhp at 12psi
I suspect the kill setting is a fairly accurate name lol
Rob,
nearly 1000bhp at 12psi
The addition of an adjustable wastegate and an in-dash boost controller means the car can be set anywhere from "cruise" to "kill" at the turn of a knob.

hence why there at a premium , but you get what you pay for ,
the covers are ace , will give a super clean look to the bay ,
check out this
aps ls2 twin turbo setup , it relocates the turbos to the rear of the engine , making clearance ,
and how it looks under the bay of a gto
fuck me you could upset a few people with that eh !!!!
ok so for thge folks , who didnt go to ford fair and may be thinking what the fucks an ls2 -ls1
heres a couple pics of the cheesman motorsport escos running one
note the notch in the front panel , due to running a FAST 102 throttle body
there home build exhaust manifolds
and a pic of the underside , note the use of a modded 2wd front crossmember and standard no ps rack ,
the cm has to be modified to clearance the sump , hard to spot in the pics ,
and note the mod to stock ls sump , its had to be notched , me and daz aka cragrat and a good stare and reckon its around 60 mm to clearance the rack ,
but .........................
after a bit of research i found this
its a stock gm cast oil pan thas slimline at the front with a deeper rear section that should do away with the nessacary mods to both the sump and the rack ,
the parts of my yb are slowly coming bk together , should start assembly in a weeks time ,

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
At last beefy you are seeing sense with the V8, as they are are bullit proof and can be modded for not a lot of cash compared to a YB, its one of the reasons I want to fit one in my cab when I have the money.
