VVT ls1,ls2? 427 maybe?

**BANDITO** · 08-16-2010, 06:17 PM

Just wondering what all would you need to add vvt to an Ls7 or any other ls short block.

**c5z28** · 08-16-2010, 07:33 PM

Another cam
Or electronically controlled valves so you would eliminate the need for a cam

**TA98** · 08-20-2010, 07:53 PM

Why would you want too?

Well In the High performance mag. There was articles about Mastmotorsports making vvt engines that had about the same hp as non vvt. So i thought about mpg.

**TA98** · 08-23-2010, 01:41 PM

If you want mpg buy a geo metro. I bought one so I don't have to dd the trans am and I love the 42 mpg I get.

**BANDITO** · 08-23-2010, 04:34 PM

Yeah....but I like driving my car haha

**BANDITO** · 09-17-2010, 09:48 AM

Ok so I was serious...I've been looking for a 427(4.125) with vvt. I was thinking to get a forged short block ls7 or lsx, Mast 13 deg ls3 heads, mast m-90 controller, and an ls9 or E-force R2300. I thought maybe Mast motor sports can sell me a vvt kit with cam. Yes? no? I just want ideas... opinions

**shady milkman** · 09-17-2010, 11:44 AM

it is dumb ..mind you the tuning involved would be immense....dont add vtt to your car....seriously ... it didnt come with it so dont muck it up

why not use the ls7 heads..as they are 12 degree and extremely good heads.and probably cheaper than mast's ls3 heads...i dont know why you have such a love affair with mast..but there are better deals to be had.

id do the math..becuase i bet the amount of money you spend on a vtt unit will be more than the amount of money you would save with the "increased mileage"

Well guys I got quoted 17,400.00 for an lsx forged about600 hp with ECM vvt and harness I guess ill try it. I'll do my ls1 for my friends b day next

**c5z28** · 09-27-2010, 08:22 PM

You are 21 and your going to drop almost 18 grand in a motor? You have any job openings where you work? Consider me there!

that is a lot of money...too much if you ask me

**BANDITO** · 09-28-2010, 06:37 PM

I have a little more than half right now...But I'm still considering my options. Wouldn't a speed shop cost about the same to build me a turnkey and install it and tune it and every thing? I can just get this engine and drop it my self since the ecm is already tuned to the engine.

**TmaxicanA** · 09-28-2010, 06:59 PM

yes VVT can make the same HP as non VVT....but where is all the power at? 5,500-6,500?

id rather have power form 500-7,000 or whatever your redline may be.

although it is a neat idear lol. you would be the only one ive ever heard of

**TerribleTed** · 10-01-2010, 11:24 AM

Dude,,why not save that cash,,,and the case your well paying job or stocks are earning,,and buy a new car,,like that new bad azz vette,,with 600 HP and the drive train and extras to plant it on the ground,,
I mean dang your luck to be able to spend 18 k on a motor,,why not just get that new vette,,,and style like never before,,

Lol 18k is a long way from 112k.

**BANDITO** · 10-02-2010, 06:37 AM

haha ZR1 yeah i can prolly afford the payments.Not sure if my credit will go that far. The ls9 crate without ecm is like 14,k and the whole swap thing is just complicated I would have to get adapters or swap out the ecm and wiring harness. For 18k comes withdrive by wire ecm sensors and a 635 horse DD. I'm still shopping and i wanna keep my car TA's look the best to me, kind of my dream car.

**wheeliE-maxx** · 10-02-2010, 07:21 PM

ls9 won't fit in the stock engine mounting height for sure

**BANDITO** · 10-03-2010, 06:47 AM

Hightech wrote about putting it in a 4th gen camaro they had to use the ls3 harness and a different fuel system. They also lowered the mounts for hood clearance. I am going to sell one of my properties haha 25k
