If you aren’t building a “Class” car is even a minimal loss of power such a concern, whatever lid you run you’ll have adequate power in such a light car… Personally I’d keep it under a stock bonnet if that were an option.

Yeah that’s in. The guys over there come factory with them. Back in the day the ZL1 lids were cheap, like $250 as apposed to $700 odd now, so they all changed to them.

But in later years, guys have been porting the insides etc and actually found that despite the smaller brick they are actually better, but more Ugly IMO

BUT its got more clearance.

Do you lose power with this lid Cava?

if you read stuff from the states where 95% of the ctsv lids are , they are not as efficient, and I think the intercooler brick is smaller so a loss in power to some degree but depends on what else has been done to motor

 

Its a smaller brick but has better flow. The fastest LSA’s run the CTSV lid.

My spacers are Tig welded to the converter. One less thing to get wrong…

Yeah that would be ideal, but I can’t see how it would differ from using the correct spacer and having it locktite together.

Using a spacer I also don’t have to drop the box. I can just undo it, walk it back 1 inch and slip it in. Shit loads easier.

You forgot to add the most important thing you made today. Lol

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Yeah that’s. It’s a small problem nothing is broken etc. I’m actually in fact going to send the converter away to get modded as apposed to running spacers etc.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Minor hiccup. Box gotta come out. I didn’t put the spacer in for the converter. So it’s not turning the pump. FML

Top work Cava. Whats the Haltech dash like? Is it running off the factory ECU?

Yeah factory ecu. I haven’t really explored the options and set it up correctly but so far so good.

It doesn’t display everything tho. As the ecu doesn’t spit out all the relevant info.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Did you leave enough room for the hoses off the front of the lid?

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Nah I haven remind me what it was you needed.

That’s awesome work cava only four and a bit years I have a long way to get to that stage ,do you still need to tune it , and take blower off for engineering

Its got a HSV BASE tune already in it. Just needs a tweak and she will be good to go. I’ll be engineering it with the blower.

Isn’t it a fan of cold starts?

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Is that the factory LSA kit? Or an aftermarket setup?

What’s your thoughts process here?

So that goes under the ass end to protect it? Bit like a belly pan?

Great idea with the passenger seat. Now you can feel what it goes like while I drive.
