Scratch one Trans Am LT1
 
Buddy of mine has a trans am with a LT1 motor. The cars got pullys,exhaust and gears. his current time is 13.6. I know kill storys are everywhere but this one iam proud of. My setup is a d16a6 stock internals with 14b/hf manifold 450cc str fuel rail 255 walbro tuned to perfection by john ;D on TurboEdit. So light it up boys its a proud day in honda town for me :6 :6

This is why Trans Am's should also do HMT kits. ;)

I would never want to do one though. The header install on my buddy's LS1 was bad enough, and the LT1s are even harder... we haven't even gotten to the point of fitting a turbo in there..

Would be pretty damn sweet to do a big fat single turbo right in front of the engine... yum.

I'd pay someone $100 to run a 13.6 in a A6 crx with a 14B.

nice. i like your rex but wish it wasn't yellow

thats an older firebird and yes it is slow. But if you really want to race a fast one let me know ;)

the LT1 is a fine motor. Like most factory V8 engine the heads are a huge bottleneck

these stock times are comparable to a 14b ~10-12psi stock honda d series motor in a crx.

lt1 is a gay engine, stop trying to defend it johhny, 5.7l of pure crap. the LS1 is a good engine, but the LT1 is crap. Im sure it can be modded to be fast, it is 5.7 liters, but how often do you see a domestic that is modded right? hardly ever

you're a moron ::)

its not a gay engine. it is a great engine it power'd all the F-bodies and Vettes of the day. it is just overshadow'd by the LS series engines.

quit saying stupid ---- you have no clue about

1992 Chevrolet Corvette LT1 5.7 14.1
1993 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 5.2 13.6
1995 Chevrolet Corvette LT1 5.2 13.7
1996 Chevrolet Corvette Collectors' 4.9 13.3
1996 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport 4.7 13.3


For 1992, the L98 was dumped in favor of the new next-generation small-block V8, the LT1 (no hyphen, unlike the '70 version with the similar name). The LT1 was rated at 300 horsepower thanks to significant revisions to the cylinder heads, accessory drives, cooling system and fuel injection. But despite that healthy increase in output, it was also an even more engaging driving companion than the L98. Along with the LT1 came traction control (Acceleration Slip Regulation — ASR — in GMspeak) whose best feature was that it could be turned off.
1992 Chevrolet Corvette - It is the first year of the return of the LT1 small block in the Corvette body. Factory rated 300 horsepower. This car is a 6 speed model coupe, there were only 5487 placed in the corvettes, that includes coupes and convertibles, basically only about 25% of the Corvettes were 6 speed equipped. It is also optioned out with driver and passengers power sport black leather seats, a tinted glass roof, Delco/Bose AM/FM Cass/CD premium sound system. Electronic climate control heating/air conditioning. Heated mirror.

probably off a roll...with tires he would eat you off the line (i used to race the lt1 guys when i had a turbo d). And the lt-1 is a good motor, toss the lt4 ---- on there and get 400hp :)

245? girl tires ;)

no one acually believes this guy do they?

all 300zx turbo and twin turbo models are rated at about the same acceleration times as Lt1 F bodies.

chevy built the lt1. the people that work there are some of the dumbest fuckers youll ever meet. i talked to a lady who worked at delphi and she worked on the assmebly line. her job was to check all the spark plug wire boots. so she just took the box she was supposed to check, dump it into the good bin and ---- around the rest of the day. i would hate to see what the engine design and build team are like. cant wait until chevrolet goes under

Re: Scratch one Trans Am LT1
 
Thats what i was trying to say too, is that the LT1 motor is by no way a dog of an engine, so to bash them and say that taking pride in beating one is only equivelent to smoking a pinto is absurd.

most ignorant statement of the day.

what makes the people that work at chevy more stupid than say people who work at a honda factory?

are you saying GM engineers are stupid? GM has come out with a hundred times more innovative ideas, concepts, and realities than anyother manufacturer

gm engineers are pretty smart, gm's quality might not be the highest, but there not designed bad. just compromised in the final trim.


And they come out with cars that people buy new thinking there car looks "cool and new". Then 4 years later when the new modles have came out. your 4 year old car is now the most ugly vehicle you could find. making people think they should get a new car. This might not be true, but i also beleive that they design there electrical components to fail after a certain amount of time and other small minor things. Not enough to make the car not road worthy, but just enough to make the car undesireable to the owner. If thats true, thats some pretty damn good engineering on gm's part. Designed failure isint exactly the easyest thing.

just like everyother auto manufacturer little electrical parts like that are outsourced and made somewhere else. any lack of quality in those parts is probably due to the gook making them for 3 cents an hour.

yeah, thoes dirty gooks at delphi down the street. and in mexico, ive owned 3 gms they ride nice for the money. but the turn singnals powerwindows guages and a hand full of other random ---- go out in all of them, dates ranging from 94 to 2000

funny never have had that problem. out of 600million cars made from 94-2006 some of them had problems. interesting.

all the sensor crap on my dads truck (99 dakota) all made in japan, korea, thailand... well you get the point.

Re: Scratch one Trans Am LT1
 
Lt1s are rated at 285. Enough to put a nice hurting on the 99+ 4.6 mustangs. I don't see what is so "slow and garbage" about them. Why are you so happy that your modded 300zx beat one. Maybe on stock boost, but your car stock everything including boost would be right next to a stock 6 spd lt-1...

Re: Scratch one Trans Am LT1
 
this video always makes me laugh, not an lt1 but still up agaist a modded 300zx
http://www.n2s1.net/RacingVideos/Hav...nguerrilla.WMV

scott just come to terms that the 300 zx is a heavy pos that any gasket change is a 3 hour flat rate job

scottsi 10-14-2005 01:53 AM
Re: Scratch one Trans Am LT1
 
A lt1 is crap, come to terms with that, the Z is a heavy ass car no doubt, but the engine is strong. a rb25det is just about as strong, and in a s13 chassis it will be ------ fast. keep doubting me because its just more feul for the fire. im going to kill supercharged SS's and mustangs all day.
