m122/gt500 blower adapters available soon

[tgarlock]

Hello all,

I have placed my order with my machine shop for nine (9) m122/gt500 adapter plates and throttle body adapters. I have also ordered all the bolts and gasketing material needed. This adapter plate will allow you to bolt any stock m122, or replacement gt500 blower (2.3tvs, 2.9 whipple etc.) onto a lightning midplate (adapters are drilled of all years midplate, 99-00 and 01-04). The "kit" will include the following:

1 - m122 adapter plate made from 6061-t651 aluminum, 1", thick with o-ring gasket
8 - m10-1.5x80mm bolts to hold adapter to stock midplate
10 - 5/16-18x1.5" bolts to hold m122/gt500 blower to adapter

1 - throttle body adapter to mount lightning throttle body to gt500 elbow, 1" thick, with o-ring gasket
2- m6-1.0x55mm bolts to hold tb and adapter to gt500 elbow
2 - m6-1.0x35mm bolts to hold adapter to elbow
2 - 1/4-20x1.125" bolts to hold tb to adapter

I have also placed an order for IAC adapters that mount on the EGR port of the m122/gt500 blower

Pricing will be as follows:
$550 shipped with IAC adapter
$500 shipped without IAC adapter

I will post up pictures when all plates are received and "kits" are assembled.

Here is how the adapter plates look with no hardware shown yet:

Will the TVS off a 2013 GT500 fit? I'm guessing so as it's a cheap and popular upgrade for the 07-12 GT500 owners.

Very cool BTW!

Yes the 2013 GT500 TVS will bolt on to this plate. If you can find a take off 2013 blower, it would make a great upgrade for the Lightning.

When do you expect to have everything ready by??

No doubt. Even still Tousley will sell you one with the elbow for right over $2K which is an awesome deal. Of course then you'll probably need to do some fuel system upgrades, MAF upgrade, buy a TB for it, tune, etc and you probably will what to be built if you plan on working the blower much at all. IMO a TVS 2300 is the most desirable street blower for a L as it will be one torque SOB with good topend power.

Subscribing. Have a GT500 blower with a 2.59 pulley sitting in my garage.

I pick the adapter plates up on monday, all the bolts are assembled and bagged, only thing i am still waiting for is the IAC adapter, but you can run a remote IAC if desired.

That does look very nice. Coolant hose? I'm guessing EGR delete. Who did the CAI? I've been looking at MP's but as I stated earlier I have a GT500 blower just hanging out in my garage.:beer:

The coolant hose is not needed, just something i made because I like the look. I built the CAI from parts purchased from silicone intakes (4.5" to 4" 45 degree reducing elbow, 4" 90 degree mandrel bend aluminum, 4" straight coupler). Yes the EGR is deleted.

I like the SVT stickers on your valve covers.

I'm still down for one too, just have to wait till after Xmas.

Looks good so far. Maybe I missed it somewhere but did you port the blower while it was out? Pics?

It' will be interesting to see what kind of numbers it puts down.
