That’s insane Steve! Your an engine building god! I have an lt1 in my firebird and I’ve always thought it was junk but after seeing this, wow! Still going to ls swap her but maybe I’ll have to hold on to that lt1 for another project.
They came in the 94-96 Gm cars and passenger cars and some trucks,the Vettes had a different top end,I have a 96 Impala SS that came with this motor,I still have it,I have seen them make this power but guys fill the block,great motors people ditched them because of the funky distributor under the water pump deal,and the reverse cooling system, these were basically proto types for the 97 LS1s!
@@rocksgsxr750 wrong my friend u can take and run a LS1 ignition on the LT1 5.7! It also had crank sensors,I believe the LS cools the heads first too,I may be wrong on that,but the LS1 in 97 no it's not the LT1 but yes u can run the ignition it! Check out Tick Performances LT1 Camaro build,they set a record with it,not too long ago!
@Paul Wilson read what I said buddy,I said basically not exact! U cant run the LS1 ignition on a traditional sbc,only the 90s LT1s! Its been a while since I ran one of these LT1s ,but I still have one,as well as several LS2s,and a LS3,as well as the traditional sbc!Not a rookie buddy!
@Paul Wilson again you can run the ignition on a LS1 on a Lt1,end of story buddy,really who gives a damn dude,get a freaking life already,if u research u will find the only engine that can take the ls2 ignition is the LT1 okay!
It’s not like the old diesels and the new turbos don’t get the center section so hot it cooks the oil when shit down. So there’s no need for a turbo timer like set up to let it cool down. Persision turbos are far more efficient than any turbo from ten years ago or older.
Everything makes power when you add boost lol. That said Steve does a great job with anything. It's not the manufacturer or if it's Ls, LT1, SB, BB, etc. It's the people behind the build like Steve and my boy Disomma that gets great numbers out of engines. Now obviously a stock ls3 is going to make more power than your older stock gen Lt1 because of the heads but once you start adding aftermarket parts things change.
The guys above me make great points, but in an simple explanation there are LS's making a lot more power and BBC is in a category of its own. Still extremely impressive for the old LT.
@@willsilversurfinharris6239 Ohh ok, NICE! I use to hang with him at the Camaro Superfest many years ago. Back when his 94 Z28 was basically stock. I am friends with him on FB. I will ask him. 👍
I'm not a fan of Aussie Barra engines.....but I'm curious to see if you can put 150psi into one!!!! And watch your "bitch" clean it up!!!! No offensive terms intended and no offence to anyone at all Intended!!! Barra's are making pretty big power in Aussie land....2200hp +. It would nice to see you have a go!!!!
The Lt1 has more torque, sounds better imo and can take a heavier beating than ls. I feel like the amount of power the engine makes can easily pull its heavier weight in comparison to its counterpart
