Every Camaro Can Benefit From This! | LSA Blower Swap 

I haven’t gotten the car fast enough yet to tell, but yea that makes sense.. I completely forgot about the torque arm. I’ll have to get an adjustable when I put in a loop. Thanks

check your rear bushing in the trans

Everyone seems to think that pinion angle does something dramatic with these cars, it doesn't. As long as nither U-joint is at 0 degrees and it's nothing dramatic then it doesn't really matter what the pinion angle ends up at. The vibration in most of these cars is not an imbalance (well it could be but most that have the problem do not have an imbalanced DS), pinion angle or most of the other stuff people throw out. What it is is a relatively short shaft that hits it's harmonic RPM and actually flexes with that harmonic causing the vibration (there is a TSB about this for the 4th gens explaining it). Stock most of these cars had relatively low gears 2.73, 3.08, 3.23, 3.27, and some 4th gens came with 3.42's. The higher the gear the more likely you are to get into the harmonic range, which is why it became more of a problem with 4th gens. Almost all of them will vibrate by 75mph with 4.10 gears in them, and the vibration will get better 15-20mph past that (once you get back out of the harmonic). GM's solution changed depending on the years, early on it was to swap in a 1LE 3rd gen shaft, later it was to swap in a later LS style aluminum shaft (different diameter, material density... resulting in a different harmonic). Be careful with the 4th gen aluminum DS, it's proven to be the weakest of the possible solutions, quite a few people have broken them in very mild combinations.

You're absolutely correct... When I went from my steel stock driveshaft to a 3.5 aluminum.. it made a big difference in vibration... not that it was bad before. It just smoothed it out.@@mpikas

Not true... My 3rd gen sits lower than this car, and i dont have the vibrations you are refering to.

How do you do the computer/wiring for a 3rd Gen with the 4L80E?

:-(

Too bad...85's the 1st yr of the Iroc-Z. Even needing work there'd be more value in keeping that car. Sorry to hear that!

@@splash5974 i kept the original single stripe rims though.

@@noo4pass Nice! They are my fav factory style wheels... I have 3 sets! Lol Ya, im abit of a hoarder with some stuff...I still have my 1st car (85 Iroc) Bought it in '94. Its gonna be a father /son project once my boy is old enough. He's only 9 right now...Then its his!

@@noo4pass Be a cool project!

Yea exactly why I did it. My meth tank is probably going in the trunk though. I needed that space for the blower water tank.

Im really not sure, I don’t have much experience with automatics in these cars. I believe you may need to change the yoke on the trans side, but the length may be close. Search on thirdgen.org, they have a lot of good info there.

They didn't make a 86 GTA 87 was the first year of the Gta

There was no 86 GTA,just for your information

The kit is from Lsx Concepts. I have their high mount Lsa accessory drive with A/C.

I ordered the race drive from Lsx concepts. Didn’t come in yet.

Im gonna stick with the turbo cam for now. Whenever I upgrade the heads I'll do the cam. It should still make good power, its makes around 60- 70rwhp over the stock truck cam.

Yea they really are crap. The shroud is a nice piece though. I ordered a pair of 1300 cfm 12 inch Spal fans to go with that shroud.

Yea I put some touch up paint on the cut edge. I thought I had that in the video, I guess I missed it.

Mostly cost. I wasn’t expecting to buy a radiator for this swap. The hawks rad is 500, summit was 300.

Greg Laing v8

Yea v8 for sure. If you start with a 6 at the very least you’ll need to swap the front springs.

LsxMatt thanks bro, the hunt is on.

Greg Laing I have one almost complete if interested

They’re 1,328 cfm a fan.

Yea, 3rd and 4th gen driveshafts are the same as far as fitment.

Its a stock lsa zl1 blower.

Guazon757 Alvarenga same dude I wanna swap my 89 rs

It’s a 5.3 from a 2003 Silverado. Transmission is a 6 speed t-56 from a 2002 Camaro.

LsxMatt Dude you're friggin awesome thx

It's a 4th Gen driveshaft.

I just got it used from ebay. Its from a 2002 camaro.

My 92 RS was my second Camaro, my first was an 81 Z-28.

Do you still have it ( I know it 2 years already but I want to know) I’m gonna be buying one soon and would like for someone to help

Gavin Au I'm dealing with that cracked lip right now? What was your solution. I don't see a point in getting another tank if it's just going to break again

I had 4th gen ls1 accessories,

LsxMatt ok cool getting ready to do a swap myself.

Kind of sort of.. lmao. I won’t be dragging it till I upgrade the rear so I’m not really concerned. It should be alright on street tires.

First thing would be exhaust. Do headers and a cat back. The stock manifolds really choke the motor

LsxMatt. Ok.and anything else i could to im make a list and im subscribe to this channel

SLP Loudmouth 2

5.3 from a 2003 Silverado and a 6 speed manual from 2002 Camaro.

LsxMatt badass, did u upgrade any internals?

Tick Performance stage 2 turbo cam.

@@lsXmatt if I get that one and keep everything stock I should be okay right? Or I have to go into hp turner to modify
