Dropped by the shop (Dasilva Motorsports over in Kitchener) to find my motor almost done ... BIG thanks to Manny, and Dave ... these guys are awesome to deal with, and likely one of the best shops in the GTA

Maybe....I don't think an E-force is going to get you that much on a stock engine, unless its an bigger than an LS3.

Thank you sir!
We made a bunch of changes to work with the Hydratech unit. It blends in very well.
Did the shaft side go good for you?

randy

12-13-2014, 11:41 AM

what changes did you have to make to the bracket to use the hydroboost?

Sheck44

12-14-2014, 04:37 AM

Vince ... to answer your question .. perfectly lined up, it couldn't have been easier.

Randy, Vince has this setup dialed in, they absolute bolt together system like it was all one kit

Looks nice. I can't wait to see what the dyno numbers look like.

Is this da silva in Canada? If so, I'm surprised he didn't set you up with a vortech.

Sheck44

01-21-2015, 03:38 AM

Jr, ya thats the Dasilva in Canada ... funny thing is there are 3 high end shops in the greater Toronto area. Joe Dasilva (Pickering) does Fords, his brothers shop in Scarborough and Manny Dasilva out in Kitchener.

Here is Manny's shop, he gets the vette guys coming from all over Canada and the US ... these guys are awesome !!

And underneath ... The American Racing headers fit PERFECTLY and the 1st thing i checked was ground clearance .. happily saw they did not hang any lower than the bottom of the frame rails ... Phew !!

Scheck44 what conversion plates did they use to install the motor? I have the same headers on an LSA but its going to be a 4L80. Appreciate any help. Is that a Speed tech cross member ?

Thanks

Sheck44

01-22-2015, 02:58 AM

Hey Wayne, we used the Dirty Dingo sliders with the Speedtech poly mounts on top of OEM style 350 302 engine stands, and yes that is the Speedtech torque-arm rear

Guys, thanks for the great feedback thus far ... truly appreciate the positive responses from everyone. Looks like she will get fired up later this week, or definitely the week after and then we'll see some dyno #rs :sieg:

Got some requests for the ARH header clearance pic at the box ...

So again theme here is keep it clean, so I built a custom air box/close out panel that serves both as a cold air box and a spot for the AC line bulkhead connector. All AC lines running through the fender and connections made at the panel.

Clear pic of the box before powder coat

So attempted a first start today but encountered an electrical glitch .. no spark

"Dang it ... why wont it fire ?? "

Do you have the factory harness and fusebox or an aftermarket one like AAW?

"Dang it ... why wont it fire ?? "

I had that problem when I first tried starting my LQ9. I have a PSI harness and the power wire required 12v with key on and cranking. The lead I used on the fuse panel had 12v with key on, but dropped all power when cranking. Worth a check if you're using a similar harness.

Yeah, the no 12V during crank has bite alot of asses in the past. If its a new switch you can change the feed wire at the switch terminal.

Took me a few seconds to figure out that wasn't a video.

Dyno Day Round 1
So managed 4 pulls on the dyno starting with the baseline tune. After we started to get heat soak after the 4th pull it was decided that round 2 (final) would happen the next day. So far very happy with the results. In the small room this was one of the loudest things I've ever experienced in my life ...more results later today

Max HP - 627.52
Max Torque - 686.78

Thank you everyone ... LOL , Vince that's funny, and your right .. with the closed in space it was sooooo friggin loud it sounded like a jet plane was in the room (and I've done quite a few dyno runs)

Don, I believe this is the max we can get with the pulley setup with a 'safe' tune for the LS7, and to be quite honest I'm already a little nervous with torque numbers like that. It'll be a handful for sure and I think we'll stay put at these numbers for a while :thumbsup:
