Wegner LS3 TVS2300 900hp
 

Item Location (City/State): ok

Price:18,500

Description:

This is the engine that started it all for the Wegner TVS2300 blower kits. I asked Casey to develop a front drive system for the TVS2300 and this monster was the result. 914hp @ 6400rpm and 870tq @ 4400rpm. That was also done on 1 3/4" headers and stock sized LS3 throttle body. It now has a Nick Williams DBW102mm throttle body so with that and larger headers there is probably more power left in this beast. Also installed on the engine is a set of one off billet valve covers I had Casey make to mimic the 2300 case. Everyone that has seen them thought they were made by Magnuson. Only thing not included is coils or plug wires. Engine is brand new, has dyno time only on it. Over $23k was spent on this monster. Asking $18,500, may take partial trade on LS3 or LS7, but prefer to sell outright. Here are the specs:

- LS3 balanced & blueprinted aluminum block (4.080” bore and 4.00” stroke -
418 cid) with Callies CompStar 4.00” cranks and 6.125” CompStar rods and Diamond

This would cost over 26k today from Wegner. Awesome deal Mike!!

Thanks, hope someone else agrees and buys it.

How many pounds of boost?

Whats the duty cycle on the injectors?

14 psi. I don't have any specs on the injectors.

Mike, it looks like it has stock head bolts in the pic. I have a guy that is interested---but before I send him your way, just want to confirm that the parts list that says ARP Head/Main studs is correct. Perhaps this is an old pic. Please let me know---thank bro.

Thomson Automotive has done lot of testing on the headers and throttle body. Bigger headers won't increase the power, and the stock 90 mm throttle body is fine for LS3 418. I will be using Ultimate Headers 1 3/4" headers on mine, but Thomson Automotive tests their engines with stock corvette exhaust manifolds. I asked Brian about porting the tub, but it doesn't increase the power. Thomson Automotive rebuilt my engine, but the biggest increase was change to LS9 heads (same as Hellfire) and Cam. Mikels never tested mine at 15 psi, but it is in the plans. Hellfire uses a 90 mm throttle body. This is a great price for the engine.

Good luck with the sale

Yes it does have the ARP bolts installed. I just double checked.

Engine is out of the car, still needs a final cleaning. There is a few spots on a couple pulleys where the anodizing is bad. I will have those parts re-anodized before shipping engine to its new owner. Price dropped to $18k shipped.

what electronics did you run on this Mike? I assume its set up with 58?

Yes it is 58x. Wegner had their own setup for the dyno and don't remember what they used, so no harness or computer has been purchased for it yet.

Thanks Mike, Most likely the Holley set up.

When was the last time it was run and is that mud I see on the pan? Did it get stored outside at any point? I know its pretty humid in your area. Just worried about corrosion on the cylinder walls.

Here is a video of it being run at Wegner Automotive. The ECU could be Pantera EFI 882, because Lance Nist mentioned that Wegner used their components. You can use a GMPP harness as well. Jeff

It was last run in 2011, and its been sealed the entire time inside my shop. Never been outside. The anodizing issues came from an ex employee who did not protect the engine while either welding or grinding in the engine compartment. Had no idea it was like that until it was removed from the car. I plan to borescope it this weekend for another guy, but I don't think there will be any issues. If there is I would stand behind it and take of it if anything out of ordinary was found.

Mike,

I am interested in it. pm'd you.

PLEASE buy this, so I'll stop thinking about it. This is a DEAL!!!

engine sold, thanks!
