[Ecotec] Disconnecting a supercharger

[Sabbath']

Yeah that's all fine and dandy (yes you are correct) but the LS1 was not in the VT when the first L67 was put into a commodore. So your question is irrelevant.

The first L67 was in a VS.

sc14 and m90 are both roots type blowers...

Well crap, I didn't realise that..whoops. I'll withdraw that comment.

You do know that running the same amount of boost on a fairly similar engine that is running a higher compression ration, will have more power.

They have the same compression ratio 8.5:1

Yeah sorry I knew I was wrong when I typed that, couldn't be bothered correcting it really.
With that said it was bloody close to the performance of the V8, plus it was slightly lighter (again not 100% sure, but can't be bothered to look it up)

So you cant be bothered to look at facts yet are happy to just spout any argument that pops into your head?

you can get overly defensive mate

Gee thats a bit rich coming from you.

 

[TI3VOM]

you can get overly defensive mate, but this has nothing to do with the type of car I have.
I really don't care whether my engine is better/crapper than another type. I don't focus on that and I don't put people down for what they have (unlike some on this forum).


Don't forget, you are comparing a Roots type supercharger to a centrifugal type supercharger and you are writing one off due to it making less kw's than the other, this proves how little minded you are being.

I'm wrong the SC14 is a roots type blower, my mistake.

Michael I'm not surprised you came in on this.

Lowered to 8.5:1 ?? The same as the 3800 (L27 derivative) in my VP. So no your argument is invalid.

I stand corrected. To be honest, I've never really bothered (or cared enough) to find out what compression a Buick V6 has, I just assumed (bad idea, I know) they would have had more compression than a motor built for a blower (L67).

Also, for the record I'm not on TI3VOM's side at all, he's clearly doing a very good job of digging a very deep hole for himself.

Compare the 1998 VS supercharged V6 vs the 1998 VS SS.

why are we comparing vs commodores? you originally quoted vt specs, and the op is talking about a vy

L67
Maximum power: 165 kW @ 5200 rpm
Maximum torque: 370 Nm @ 3200 rpm


SII V8
Maximum power: 168 kW @ 4400 rpm
Maximum torque: 395 Nm @ 3600 rpm

so the v8 still has more horses and torques.

The L67 was more powerful than the comparable (of the time) V8.

VT L67 Specs:
Maximum power: 171 kW @ 5200 RPM.
Maximum torque: 375 Nm @ 3000 RPM.

Since you wont answer the question i'll put this here incase anybody else cant be bothered researching before they make stupid statements like you do.


VT LS1 Specs:
Maximum Power: 220kw @ 5000rpm
Maximum Torque: 446Nm @ 4400rpm

What are the weights of each car?
