2007 Escalade....LSA blower?
2007 Escalade....LSA blower? I recently picked up a 2007 Escalade. Looking to add an LSA supercharged to this thing. I picked up a supercharger and have a CTS-V lid and heat exchanger and pump on the way. Has anyone else completed this on a 6.2 AWD truck? Did you run into any surprises along the way. I have a pretty good grasp on what I am going to need.
This will be a VERY mild setup. I don't want to get crazy. Stock 7.625" crank pulley, stock 2.95" LSA pulley. I mathed out 6.6psi on paper. That is plenty to start.
Looking at the LSSimple 6 rim belt setup. Anyone here have luck with that setup?
I am going to pick up CTS-V fuel rails and a set of LSA/LS9 fuel injectors...or something similar.
Any suggestion on fuel pump? I hear that the 2010+ Escalade had a higher volume pump for e85 use, but not sure what kind of power that could support. I am only going to run a 91-93 octane tune.
I am curious on the PCV setup, and the EVAP setup though. I have done a little research, but I really need to think about it, and compare the 2 systems.
Besides extending the MAF harness, breaking out the IAT to the supercharger lid, installation of the 3 bar map, etc, what will need to be done with the harness as far as other extensions? I haven't really gotten a good look at the locations on the Escalade yet.
Here is the new ride. It should be pretty sweet with another 100hp.

This is going to be sweet. Sorry I can't help answer your questions. Be careful with the pcv system, you don't want to get that backwards and boost your crankcase. Good luck with your build, and keep us posted.
I was looking at the CTS-V PCV sytem. The L92 has a flat valley cover, where the LSA has the nipple on the valley cover for the PCV system. Not sure what I am going to do here. I know I will need a check valve, and a catch can setup up though. I won't do the install until spring, because I want to use this vehicle for the snow and ****; I have time to research and stock pile parts!

I believe the LSA, LS3, and LS2 all use the valley cover with integrated oil separator. I would still run a catch can. I have an LSA blower going onto my LY6 for my boat and an LS2 valley cover laying around so I can check tonight. If I forget this thread just PM me.
Not much progress. I got the supercharged disassemble. I am going to do a quick clean up/port on the blower and snout, grease rotor needle bearings, and install the solid isolator.
So far, a CTS-V lid, injectors and heat exhanger/pump on the way.
For the fuel system, I am going to get an OEM 2009+ Escalade fuel pump (Flex Fuel), and the fuel flow control module. It sounds like that setup should support 550-600whp...which is a solid 100+ more than I will have.

I have access to Alldata, so I have researched the stock V system. I think I am going to get an LS3 valley cover (since the L92 is flat/no stock oil separator), then just hook it up exactly how the V is, but with a catch can in line. I would rather have the PCV hooked up rather than vented. The last car that I had that was vented was a mess. It had so much blow by, it was blowing oil all over the engine bay.
The electrical should be fairly easy. I have an IAT pigtail on the way to break out the IAT from the MAF. I think the only other wiring is extending the purge solenoid, and relocating the MAF wiring to the other side for the most part.
A couple vacuum ports on the blower will need to be blocked off. Longer vacuum hose for the brake booster is needed
Cylinder head steam tubes will need to need to be addressed since they won't fit under the blower.

I have an L92 w LSA blower in my 72. Your first concern would probably be the water pump sticking out too far for the supercharger belt spacing setups, not sure on LSX simple if it'll clear a VVT water pump. ADM makes a conversion kit for L99's which should work for an L92 exact same, first place I'd start. Otherwise you can do a regular cam and LSA FEAD. For a catch can I'm running from both valve covers T'd through a separator to the inttake, it's been catching stuff so it seems to work right.

Ok cool, yeah looks like it uses truck spacing which is why it is 6 rib instead of 8. The ADM kit is similar but comes with everything you need for adding the blower if you want to look into that as well.
I'd prefer run an 8 rib, but in a truck application like this not set on kill it's probably not worth the hassle at all of removing VVT.

That looks like the vehicle is in really good condition. Ill be following this build also. I think i have a line on a LSA blower. Will be interesting to see what kind of power it builds. Are you gonna do a pre and post dyno session?

Sho nuff. Probably not as good as your foreign doh.
Nope. I don't care enough to dyno it before hand, maybe not even after. I would have to find a deal on some time on a AWD dyno. Magnacharger says 120rwhp with their 1.9 blower on 6psi. I should be around there on the boost with the smaller truck crank pulley. I would be happy adding 100hp to it.
Not very accurate, but I did a baseline 1/4 mile pull with an app on my phone. 14.56 1/4 mile and 6.5 0-60. The app has been pretty consistent on my previous cars. I will see how it does after. Again, I know it's a shitty way to base performance gains, but it's all that I have to work with. lol

I hear you there with thats all i have. i deal with the same problem. money tree isnt in my front yard either.
I forgot that its awd.
Hope it works out for you. Ill be watching for sure. Wouldnt mind picking up the same vehicle maybe next year and would like to do the same thing. But, money comes into play as usual.

My uncle has a 2007 Escalade ESV that he is also putting an LSA blower on now because of my project. LOL.
Please post up how you do the wiring mods when you do them. I am wanting to do this on my LS powered S10 in the spring, and have started collecting parts. I was going the turbo route, but this takes up less room that I don't have.
I will keep it updated. Not much will be getting done for a while, I'm pretty much broke, lol.
I did get the rear lowering springs on. Dropped it down 3". The 2" drop spindles should be here Wednesday, I believe.
