'05 Vette build thread

[bonecrrusher]

I'm in the middle of the latest project for the SS - adding an LSA Supercharger! I will be updating this thread with the latest updates from the install.

I picked up this LSA blower for really cheap - all that it needs is a new isolator coupler.

This blower is the start of a budget build for my SS - I'll be using a mix of new/used parts.

My goal is to have an affordable supercharged cruiser.

This supercharger came off of a Camaro ZL1 - the original owner had complained about the supercharger being noisy. So GM removed the blower and replaced it - without tearing down this one.

All that was wrong with this supercharger is the isolator coupler inside of the blower.

After replacing the coupler - it will be good as new!

I also picked up a new ZL1 lid for the LSA swap for Summit Racing. I wish I had gotten it a few years ago as the price almost doubled for the swap.

I am going to break down the lid and send the coolant intake manifold out to be modified.

Once the manifold gets back - it will have two -12 AN fittings tig welded to it.

I plan on running -12 AN lines for the coolant system and get rid of the ugly GM plastic piping.

Now for some pics:
