Will an LS6 intake fit on a LS1?
See all 18 photos Installing an LS6 intake manifold onto a ’97-00 LS1 requires little more than a typical intake manifold replacement. The process has been covered by Car Craft in the past so there’s no need to rehash it. The swap requires removing the EGR hardware and modifying the computer to ignore the MIL code.
Are LS1 and LS6 the same?
The LS1 and LS6 appear to be the same structurally, but if you pay much attention, you realize they are very distinct. The LS6 is a modified version of the LS1, intended for high performance. Among the features that you will notice include cast windows between the cylinders and different airflow intake.
How much power can a stock LS1 bottom end handle?
The stock crankshaft can handle about 900 hp and 7,000 rpm (for a limited time). A Forged Crankshaft upgrade will add strength to the bottom end. Stroker cranks will also add extra displacement.
Is LS6 intake better than LS1?
While the LS6 is a good intake, the manifold developed by FAST is even better. The engineers flipped the LS1 market on its head when it came out with the original 78mm and 90mm intakes.
How much HP does a fast 102 intake add?
Testing on a stock LS3 engine with a Big Mouth 102mm Throttle Body™ produced gains of 14+ horsepower and 11+ ft/lbs of torque at the flywheel over the stock intake. The LSXR™ 102mm Intake Manifold features a three-piece modular design that allows easy disassembly and porting.
How much horsepower can a LS6 handle?
A stock LS6 does have more power than a stock LS1. However, they can both make the same power with common upgrades. The aluminum blocks are not as strong as the iron block LQ4 and LQ9. But, they can be pushed to over 850 hp.
How many miles can an LS6 last?
These motors can easily go 200k w/ proper maintenance. I have over 60k on my ’01 and I run 4/5 HPDEs a year.
How much HP can a stock LS6 handle?
What’s the difference between LS2 and LS6 intake manifolds?
And even within the same generation of engines, there were differences between some models. For example, the LS2 intake physically fits on a LS6 engine, but the fuel rails, injectors, MAP sensor and throttle body bolt pattern are all different.
What’s the difference between the LS1 and LS6?
The LS1 was the first of the LS engine line, so improvements followed over the years, including the release of the LS6. That intake flowed more volume and eliminated the EGR valve. Naturally, owners of LS1-powered cars looking for upgrades turned to the LS6 intake as a viable option. And it’s a relatively easy swap.
What was the first LS1 corvette intake manifold made of?
The first manifold for the LS1 Corvette engine was constructed from about eight pounds of injected nylon. It was lightweight and flowed well, given the dimensional restrictions placed on the engineers when the C5 Corvette was designed. Cut open one of these intakes and you’ll find three pillars supporting the flow tubes over the base.
Can a front wheel drive LS intake be swapped?
The LS4 is the only front-wheel-drive LS engine, so its intake won’t help with any traditional north-south swaps. Other issues that need to be addressed include sensor locations, especially the MAP sensor, fuel-line plumbing and throttle bodies. The car and truck throttle bodies aren’t always the same size.
