LSA PREP BEFORE MOUNTING ON ENGINE PT1.

[@bg147]

I appreciate how thorough you are with the prep work. The key to every job is preparation. Making a list makes sense. I had a 1968 Camaro as a kid and was dropping the motor but forgot to fill the radiator... ouch. Starting a rebuilt motor dry causes me to cringe when I think about it. I caught it in time but still... make a list while reading for bed and jot down tasks when they dawn on you.

[@Coverman66]

i do that for sure.. the little details are the ones that will bite you.. thanks Brotha BG for the tips and vieiwng..

[@freedomfighter1000]

i just upgraded my 2012 cts to 2015 cts v coupe, manual shifted, and very new to a roots style blower... and so i wanna thank you because i dont know much about the maintenance of the super charger. Really nice videos, thanks you...

[@Coverman66]

awww man anytime brotha.. thanks and good luck with that ride..

[@wyattroa]

Just gotta say these videos are great. I have a 454 sitting in my garage pulled apart right now that needs new pistons since the compression is only 7.9:1 and everything else for it. But watching your videos has made me start to think about buying a lm7 or lq4 engine, adapter plates, and getting an LSA for my 66 chevelle.

[@Coverman66]

hahaha, if we went for a rip that would put you over the hump loll thanks brotha Wyatt and if you needed any questions answered hit me up anytime.. keep me posted with your build..

[@Bossup813]

Great stuff! That chevy is going to be a terror in the streets!

[@Coverman66]

you know i want to drive that car so bad... lolol

[@pFbSpecV]

All this supercharger talk makes me wanna go this route!

[@alonzofloyd8140]

Nice Terry another good trip keep up the DIY vids.

[@Coverman66]

thanks Zo.. as Mister T said in Rocky 3... i got alot a more! lolol thanks again brotha..

[@johnbecker8768]

Very Helpful Terry. Installing one on my 2010 Camaro right now.

[@Coverman66]

nice.. keep me posted on that build brotha..

[@jonb_the_g6647]

Hello I'm a new subscriber about 5 videos in and just wanted to let you know that you are awesome man! I'm no car person by any means but will drive the wheels off...but I've recently had the craving to get my hands dirty get some tools and learn something. So with that being said I feel like I can just about do anything just off watching your videos. Very good stuff sir!!!

[@Coverman66]

thanks BH, much appreciate the compliment.. thanks

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

very informative...keep up the great work... also you look like a young Muhammad Ali..

[@Coverman66]

hahah thanks Gene..i wish i had a dime every time i heard that lol more videos to come..

[@reggiewoods937]

Hey man nice video! I currently have my lsa torn apart, changed the isolator and pulley, and drained the oil, gave it a good cleaning, now need to put back together. Do u know how much oil I need to order to fill this or about how much oil it should take before it starts to drain out the back from being completely empty?

[@Coverman66]

i go with the GM supercharger fluid one bottle.. fill it til it starts to come drip out and your done.. keep me posted on the build.. let me know if you have any questions..

[@RecklessRegal]

I would highly suggest a solid isolator while you have the snout off of the supercharger. The two piece spring loaded isolator that GM uses sounds like hell at idle and cruise. LPE makes a solid piece for under $100, it's well worth it.

[@Coverman66]

Reckless.. thanks for looking out brotha.. i got the Lingendfelter isolator... thats spring one had to go.. thanks

[@GoatGirl314]

You've been a great help, thanks!

[@Coverman66]

much appreciated.. thanks

[@Johnboston-mr9tk]

Hey Terry I caught up with lance bought my supercharger today from him thanks for the reference brother..

[@Coverman66]

Thanks Gill.. sorry for the delay brotha.. all about sharing the knowledge.. thanks again..

[@318ryder2]

Wuz up love your channel very knowledgeable on Ls I got a 2010 chevy avalanche 5.3 will the setup be simple like urs

[@Coverman66]

thanks Q.. exactly.. any questions feei free to ask aways..

[@trentdawg2832]

Do I need to replace the oil if I remove the snout. .....I bought a new gm unit and I literally put less 500mi and it already sounds like the isolator/front bearings are on their way to lunch. : ( ..... I'm curious to see what kinda isolator they put in there!!!!!....I bought it in Oct of 2020, no telling when gm built it though........arrrrrggghhhh

[@Coverman66]

you dont have to, but if the blower is completely off the car i would check it for sure..

[@roberthanna4400]

That's sweet bro!!! I'm going to put a new trans in the Regal for some reason I cannot get it to down shift with the pedal I played around with the detent cable kit from bow tie overdrive to no avail!!! I had it built back in 07 so ain't no telling what's wrong with it!!!

[@Coverman66]

what type of tranny is it?> 700 r4?

[@roberthanna4400]

coverman66 yep!! itll shift if i do it manually but not with the pedal

[@roberthanna4400]

coverman66 I have a special kit from bowtie overdrives that allows you to adapt the cable to the throttlebody. the cable that comes with the kit is adjusted by turning to nuts I moved it all the way out and all the way back in and everywhere in between and just cannot get it I also had to drop the pan and put a spring inside where the detent cable hooks up to I tried to email bowtie overdrive but have not heard back from them

[@lacboiatl]

Just subscribed. I see boost district has the kits for sale. I don't know if 3000 plus is a deal for one but cheaper than most supercharger kits I've seen for lq4 engines and the only other in this ball park is torque storm kit. I atleast with a lsa I won't need to do a tbss intake since it bolts directly to the engine

[@Coverman66]

stay tuned brotha Charles im doing on on a TBSS right now.. .

[@davisbrian2912]

Hey bro got a question i have a 1992 oldsmobile custom cruiser with a tbi 5.7 want to know your opinion about a ls swap 4.8 or 5.3 and the coast of the build if possible thanks

[@Coverman66]

4.8 and 5.3 are going for a couple hundred bucks.. the entire install should be less than 1500

[@larryjrobinson]

Great!

[@Coverman66]

thanks brotha Larry

[@Eeropolvasti]

Good job! So, you can buy these now $500-800 from ebay, just lower part, top, upper intake with intercooler is separate, another $400-500..., anyway, usual part what is wrong with these is that coupler, right?/ Those you can buy for about $20-30 from ebay. Somebody told in here, youtube, you could use AC Esther oil, #100 in a supercharger, is that true?? Anyway, this is good for any Chevrolet V8 engine, even not Cadillac or Corvette?? What engines you can put this in?? I was thinking to put one in my Infiniti FX 45, which I am boring 5 litre, with performance pistons, and cams! I should modify/ make the intake adapter, plenum...., maybe too much work?? I might do with M122, same as F150 and newer mustangs have, easier?? What do you think?? Also, they say that compression rate should be lower, like 9.5, when you put Supercharger in?? Mine is like 10.4, will be, that should work, right?? I wonder, what is compression rate in these Cadillac/ Corvette, 6.2 litre engines?? Do you know?? Thanks, youtheman =)

[@Coverman66]

whats good Eero, you can get some of the pieces cheaper but you are in the ball park.. im putting the AC delco supercharger fluid in the blower because its what cam from the factory.. sounds like you will be having a ripper.. i dont think you will have any issure installing this engine.. id try to go with a t56 6spd, but it sounds like your on the right track.. keep me posted..

[@Eeropolvasti]

Thanks, soo....., you don't think, my compression rate= new rate, which will be 10.2/1, is not an issue, if I put M122 in there, since I will have intercooler, and also methanol injection also to keep it cooler??? If you say :Yes, i will do it !!! Just keep PSI/ boost at 10 the highest, right?? Thanks, youtheman =)

[@Coverman66]

im at 9.6.1 not to far off and with the 2.55 pulley i have im a lil under 11 lbs of boost. without meth, if you go meth you will be more than fine .. thanks going to make some serious power.

[@Eeropolvasti]

Thanks, I believe / trust you , of course !!! I don't like these " engineers", who read a book, and just "compare" numbers, and say: no, you can't do it, it says so...here in a book!!" If I keep engine cool enough, with intercooler, meth injection, and low, maybe 10?? boost, I should be fine, right!!?? Let you know, how it turns out,.....could be the fastest SUV, 4 WD, in Palm Beach County, Florida,......who knows ;o)) My question is, where the "hell" can I get my PCM programmed??? Should I send it somewhere?? Because my Infiniti is 2004, I can't even get tuner/programmer for it??? That is what they are telling me...., after 2005, there is plenty is tuners available??? What do you think??? Thanks, youtheman =)

[@Eeropolvasti]

Can you put this supercharger into 1997 Trans Am, with LT1 engine on it?? Cams changed, heads ported!!! Is compression rate an issue?? Thanks, youtheman =)

[@Coverman66]

im not sure what type of charger would go on the LT1, but some company must make a kit.. i would consider a LS install with a LSA before i put a charger on a LT unless you get a smoking deal..

[@shoegod2311]

so when I install my LSA charger I'll have to have use gaskets on my charger as well as my dirty dingo conversion brackets

[@Coverman66]

the LSA gaskets are pressed on the LSA.. you could remove them and repressed them if you really need to. but if they are a lil bent out of shape i would try to straighten them out..

[@MrRyan6616]

Looking good !!!!

thanks brotha Ryan..

[@supadavee30]

just subscribed, can you make a parts list for the LSA supercharger? Thanks

[@Coverman66]

SD, thats already in the mix.. no worries brotha.

[@ButlerBuilt]

+1 on the parts list. I have my lq4 and 4l80e. Now i have to decide whether to go LSA or turbo

im a set it and forget it supercharger guy.. if you can hold off for a few i will be doing that video with the prices so you can decide which way to go brotha..

[@Coverman66]

thanks a funny story.. i have one of those digital clock that flashes the time anywhere you point it, mine was pointing on the wall.. i was shooting a video and as i was signing off a box moved the clock and flashed the time on the ceiling.. so when i look for the time, on the wall.. or should i say ceiling.. lolol and on the ceiling is where it been til this day lolol

[@juiced71]
