Basic stuff but very well explained. Dropping knowledge.
thanks brotha Jesse.. much appreciated..
You have really got me wanting to start gathering some LSA parts
let me know 72, if i can help just reach out..
Looking great! It’s been a while since I’ve checked out the build and it looks amazing... Anyone ever tell you that you look like Mohammad Ali when he was young? Always great videos👍🏼
thanks brotha Ed.. yea i get that compliment all the time lolol
My man Mohammed Ali over here
Love it!!!! I remember watching the vid when you 1st fired it up!! Ur ride has come a long way!!! On two different occasions I was ready to throw in the towel on my projects! But after seeing your video on the wire harness and talking to you one on one I'm back in the game! LOL I can't thank you enough bro
we go waaaay back.. anything i can do to help you know how to reach me brotha.. glad to see you back in the saddle..
My turbo galant runs way better when it's cold out! So it's a true statement what the man terry said!!
Question
What type of hose should be used to plumb the heat exchanger
Thank you again. Nice clear communication in your videos!! Minion power....😊🔀
lolol thanks brotha DX.. lolol
How much water does your reservoir hold? I noticed the water in my tank was quite hot thinking maybe a bigger tank?
i think my system holds around 5 gallons.
@@Coverman66 might be the issue then, I think I only have a 5-6 liter tank which isn't even 2 gal
And the water in your system stays cool?
does the supercharger generate much heat when cruising normally and should a temp gage be in the line leaving the charger to monitor temp and what temp is considered high for the hot water exiting the charger.
Hey man would there be some way that I would be able to talk to you about a swap I want to do? I feel like you're one of the most educated people about this.
whats good Mike.. whats on your mind? thanks for the compliment.. my email addy is terrylsx@yahoo.com
Nice Tech Tip Brotha keep it up we really your input Thanks again
my appreciated as always brotha Zo.. thanks..
hey man love the vids! Im in australia fitting a lsa into a early holden commodore, when bleeding up the system does the water drain from the top lid once you take the res cap off since its lower than the lid? im just trying to work out if i need to fit the res higher than the lid?
whats good brotha Anthony.. the pump does all the work.. my reservoir is higher than the pump so the water will flow to the pump.. my pump is a pusher so the water has to always be there to push it thru the system.
Due you have to mount the resvoir at a specific height? ?.....I have a 74 nova that I wanna supercharge , seems like the lsa is the most cost effective thing too do. ....
i love the LSA, if you can find one pick it up for sure.. being the pump is a pusher, make sure the reservoir is higher than the pump.. that way the water will flow to the pump..
@@Coverman66 I just ordered a boost district kit last night.....comes with everything except fuel pump,hoses, and belt!!!
While I consider myself a racer, I would have to put the reservoir in the truck....allot of hose I see in my future.
its all good.. i was thinking about that as well..
I got a question for you Terry. I have a ctsv and I am installing some auxiliary fans and swapping out my pump. I need a good reroute plan for my hoses. They are just all over the place and they go round and round... why do I need so much hose. Is shorter reroutes better? Please help.
shorter is always better, i like to leave just a lil slack for movement hope this helps brotha PK..
dig it terry ! I wanna do something like this in the future for the tb or the cutty thatnk you as always for the info!
you know im ready to help anytime brotha Juice.. thanks
coverman66 you the man!!
hahahhaha.. thanks partner..
You have me hooked now on getting an LSA for my LS2. Dig the Pkway T-shirt. Gotta get me one of those, where did you get it?
thanks brotha Dugan.. much appreciated.. i got that shirt on the Garden state PKWY rest stop around exit 110. loll i was picking up car part and wanted a Green tea break lolol
And if I am seeing this right, ls simple lsa kit will he perfect for me. That kit has all of the pulleys I need correct?
the crank pulley is not included but pick up a used one from ebay and you're ready to rock..
Hey terry. How can i get in contact with you need some info on doin a lsa on my ls3
send me a email at terrylsx@yahoo.. we will get you right..
what's good Terry, did your engine have flat top or dish piston in it? when will you get some 1/4 mile times on the lsa setup?
they did with the valve relief in them.. im going try to hit the track pretty soon.. you will know for sure lolol
I know this is off topic but does your brakes work really well?
using the BRP set up? still on the chevelle till this day lolol love them
hello bro one question if it is connected around the cold it goes down and comes out hot on top there is problem
are you referring to the in and out on the top?
I just bought an lsa blower,should the solid isolater be tight on snout or slide freely like it does on the blower part?
there is a very lil resistance.. should be able to finger come off and on..
Ice on supercharged housing is a no no Housing shrinks impellers don’t and will shave some of the inside of the housing off and dumps the shavings into the engine. 😮
Does it matter if you use the top or bottom port as "in" or "out" for that heat exchanger, and vice versa for the LID? Ive got the same setup, just not sure which is in, and which is out on the heat exchanger and lid
it really dont matter, i like the in to be on top and the out on the bottom. i think that how stock was..
@@Coverman66 Alright thank you boss. I did it in on bottom of HX and out on top of the HX.
hello,
what if I'm used the different way of flow direction !!
- hot water out from supercharger
- to intercooler
- to reservoir tank
- again to supercharger
what about this water flow direction ?
Thanks.
i guess you could, as long as the water is as cold as possible. those two swap might not make that much of a difference unless your using ice.
@@Coverman66 thank u :)
@@Coverman66 because i saw there is to way direction .. almost of people using :
- hot water from supercharger
- to reservoir tank
- to intercooler / heat exchanger
- and the back to supercharger
Thanks for sharing
my man O.. whats good partner..
I’m good bro. Just trying to get on the road. One issue after another. I’ll get there. 😀
anything i can help with?
Can’t get rid of a P0101. Change a lot and shake it. I have one more thing to try. If that doesn’t work, I’ll reach out. Thanks. Any help is appreciated
Fixed my issue. Drove the car down to the Bronx. Bad trans fluid leak. Noticed when I was a block away. Ordered the fitting. I should be good to go by next weekend 😀
How mush would a lsa set up cost?
anywhere from 2k to 2500. at the most..
Great videos! I think it’s time to invest in a mic 🎤 increased audio quality will take your vids to another level.
True Right, the one i use is failing me.. thanks for the heads up brotha SK...
