ls2

G'day fellas Need some help with my build I'm doing an ls1 to ls2 engine swap and I'm stuck. My ls2 has a double row timing chain and the cam angle sensor on my timming chain cover is interfering with the chain. It's not actually the sensor that is hitting the chain it's the bulb at the...

Hey Guys! Got a really odd starting issue with the LS2 in the VE SS Thunder. Ever since I bought the car I've had this fault and now I'm actively staying to fix the bloody thing! Fault: Vehicle fails to fire on first ignition or cranks over for a exceedingly long time before firing...

Posted a thread on here a few weeks back regarding what I initially thought was just a lifter tick. After getting it to the shop it turned out to be an obliterated timing chain tensioner. Knocking noise: https://youtube.com/shorts/bdhhjY1etkA?feature=share I'll add that in addition to the...

Hi all, Does anyone know how in-depth it is to hack the LS2 in the SS to run a cable throttle? The delay in the software is driving me nuts and making precise control a real chore (perhaps there's a hidden setting/safety exacerbating the delay? I do intend to reflash the PCM in the near...

I have a 2004 vz ss ls1 6sp man, the engine has the 241 heads on it and I was wondering if the 243 heads would fit, if so what do I need and is it worth the upgrade. Car is currently making 253.5 RWKW what kind of gains would I be looking at.

Hi, I recently melted the L77 in my VF SSV, it has a walkinshaw 457 kit on it and #5 went lean, melted the piston, snapped a bit of the ring off and that was bouncing around in the chamber so the head is stuffed now too. I think I have about 3 options here: - best and most boring case I get...

Hi All, Just after a bit of clarity, will stroker kits (408 or 427) described as LS2 Stroker kits, be compatible with a VZ L76 V8 Engine? I am just wanting to make sure that I will have a few stroker options for the L76 engine. Basic searches so far seem to suggest that the LS2 kits will...

I have seen the new LSA 6.2 with 1900 supercharger for sale for $10500 - $12500. This seems like a great deal. What does everyone think?

I plan to rebuild an LS2 with a stroker kit and some performance heads/ top end. Does anyone have any suggestions on how big to stroke it to I was thinking possibly 408 or maybe bigger perhaps 427. If anyone has done this I would be interested to know what size they went and what power they...
