Thread: LS9 Corevette Engine, Supercharged

Have you ever seen this suspension by Bose? This vid is amazing.

I think this video may explain the Corvette's Magenetic Selective Ride Control, but I haven't been able to watch it yet. Videos no go on the work PC. I believe it's been an option on Corvettes for a while.

Holy Cow!! Now that is awesome.

I hadnt realized the technology had made it to that many vehicles already. I bet its pricey as all get out, but I wish it would make it to the aftermarket areas..

I found a picture of the rotors. 4 lobes it would seem.

wow! that coating looks better than whats in the M90's

Definitely so. But I also think they use a different process even on the Gen 5's than they did on the Gen 3's. Farnsworth seems to have the contacts there and perhaps would like to do a write up or something on it, maybe something we can put in the how to section as an informational piece.

Im thinkin rotor swap........

Farnsworth, you better keep us updated on all that. Its too bad you dont know how to or know someone that could update our rotors with the newer coating. Id venture to say that there is some money to be made there.

Do you have any information on what the Gen V rotor coating is?

When I went to the Topeka Nationals this year, Everytime they took the blower off those cars, they sprayed it down with what I could swear was some type of lubricant. Like WD-40, but wasnt that.

I would think that anything fluid but not compressible would seal the gaps between the rotors and everything else, thats why our Sc'ers are more efficient as they age because of the carbon in the case?

I would agree with you on that point, but what they were using was still really fluid and didnt stay in place. It wasnt a cleaner as best I can tell either because they never wiped the rotors down. In fact spraying the rotors down with whatever they were using seemed to be among the last steps they did with the supercharger.

did it look like what the funny car guys spray in the blower before lift off? was it in a rattle can?

I dont believe so on both counts. They had the blower completely off the car and doing all this. I have some pics somewhere because it really tweaked my curiosity. I'll see if I can get them uploaded.

Lets see if this helps any.
