Couple of ?'s for QuickLS

That's why he's test fitting it so that we won't have to cut a hole in the hood. This way it's a complete SLEEPER!
 
On someone elses car it might be a complete sleeper, but not on Quick LS's.
If something that looked like that pulled up next to me, I be chasing it to get a better look.

it's $10 chrome mesh I bought off e-bay and then cut and tie-wrpped to the stock grill....
 
I know, I know I'm prob pushy and you have a life Quick but did ya make any progress?

Also when you do get ready to mod and install any chance to document what ya did with pics so when I'm ready or anybody else to get one we'll have some what a guide to follow :) I'll drive down to TX and buy ya couple of rounds :Beer

Cheers,
Eric

Nope - sorry - been on nightly conference calls dealing with pending company aquistitions....

But should be able to tackle the rest of the fitting this weekend.

Next step is to drain the rad and remove the cooling tower....
 
I'm just glad that people like Quik have what it takes to take a $40,000 car and cut holes in it, try new ideas, and well, be a guinea pig for the rest of us. Most people would turn away from a project such as a custom supercharger, I would. Also, paddle shifts from an M3, and the scoop aren't easy mods either.

I applaud you Quik, and keep up the good work.

:gr_hail:
 
Speaking of that paddle shift, I would love to know how that was done and the amount of work that is entailed (I'm sure it's no walk in the park). Did you ever put up a how to on that? As SurfjaxLS said, I give you a lot of credit for undergoing these tremendous projects you have taken on! :yourock:
 
80 HP? Wow... that would be great, but at 10.55:1, how much boost do you anticipate being able to run without needing aviation fuel to keep you from detonating? It Kinda sucks our compression is so high from this regard...

I was reading some literature from B&M and happened across a chart for compression ratio vs boost and effective output. It wasn't pretty. We're looking at an intake air charge of like 270 degrees, before compression on an average summer day. Throw the compression stroke in there and you're at like 550 degrees... I know you want to intercool it, but but do you think you will be able to take that much heat out of it? What about water injection? Water will take down a lot of heat, and it won't hurt us...

only looking at 4 - 5 psi.

yep - intercooling will be tough with the limited room to work with. the setup he is using currently is an alcohol/water injection.
 
I had to remove my cooling tower to finish test fitting the supercharger.

I guess the 03+ have a different setup but here is what mine looks like (before I pulled it off)...

- so I took a bunch of measurements and pics - then put my LS back together.

- and it started...(whew!)
- so I washed it to applogize for operating on it
- and then drove it around for 20mins - nothing blew-up and nothing fell off!
 
wow......... im glad i found this site. i thought i bought an old man car that would only be stock. but that is bad to the bone. very cool quikls
 
Bravo Zulu Quik LS... Thanks for the photos and the reporting.

Hey BDSax... welcome to the LvC... I live over on the Gulf Coast... We have a lot of Fl residents on here so you should feel right at home.

I feel a Florida LS Fest coming on!

Definitely, put it somewhere around Orlando so it is somewhat centrally located.

I think it is a great place to gather around for a tire kicking. Autocrossing is pretty big there. I will see if I can find a schedule and find a date that might work for use all.

Too bad can't do it this Saturday. GM is having a big test drive thing out at Epcot. everything from the Cobalt to the Hummers will be onsite for tiring and such.

We can convert a few GM buyers over to the FLM, particulaly the LS, products.
 
I'm gonna be gone ever weekend in April, and the first and third weekends in March, kinda sucks.
 
I'll actually be in Sarasota this weekend, Orlando the third week in March. Virginia Tech April 1-3, NC State April 8-10, prom the 16th, and grad night the 23th.

Jeez we will keep missing each other. I am in Orlando this weekend and next weekend. i think we are going to WPB either the third or 4th weekend and Sunrise on the weekend that remains.

Ahh spring is in the air. Jeez March 20th is 1st day of Spring wow... what happened to winter?
 
This will take forever to coordinate, this many conflicts with just 2 people, just think about all the Florida members we have.
 
Quick any progress on the supercharger? I been gone for a bit so I'm not sure if I missed anything
