All about the LT2 in the 2020 C8 Corvette
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2019
- The 2020 C8 Corvette will debut with the LT2 engine. It sounds familiar right? Well, it is because it's still based off of the 5th generation small block V8 family as the LT1, LT4, LT5 and truck versions. In this case, the LT2 is derived from the LT1....but what are the differences?

Lose the orange font and woman singing in background. Otherwise great footage
Ivana Notyers thx
lmao
Background music is the most annoying feature in YT videos. Seems they just don‘t want us to listen to what they have to say.
Yes, fix the orange font with grey shadow background! Did you even review your video? That crap looks blurry on a white background.
Also lose the obnxious hi-lo music background noise. Go with a simple bass track.
Other than those two things, I enjoyed your video. Good work but you gotta fix those issues going forward.
You can hardly hear it
You have to know that the ZO6 is coming, and it’s going to be a monster .
Totally agree! The sky is the limit and she will always be a great bang for the buck. Ah...no pun intended. Z06 ZR1 maybe a Zora or a mild hybrid/motor combo.
Dohc TT
This could crush the industry in all types of ways. That's the most exciting part about this c8. From the little sport compacts to the high and mighty supercars. We're looking at insanely inflated prices on brand new cars. GM listened and delivered big time. I hope this does damage on the streets and hopefully other manufacturers will reciprocate. Shame on Toyota, and shame on Ford. Shame on Chrysler/Dodge out of all.
Just wait until the ZR1! It'll roast that Z06!
Can’t wait for the zr1
Wow those are easily the best OEM exhaust manifolds I have ever seen on a "normal" production car. Fucking sick! GM is killing the game with this one.
With a price tag under 100k i think GM will kill competition
This video kind of made me nostalgic for the days I was an engineer for GM Powertrain. 10 years ago I was doing Lube and Vent testing on the Gen 5 prototypes, and I never would have imagined it was going to lead up to this.
Right on man cool. Thanks for your hard work bringing us the next gen of dominate small blocks. 🤘
@@ChuckBeefOG I really can't take much (if any) credit. All I did was run some tests and report the results to the engineers designing the components.
Do you know what a liar is, SR ?
@@dareisnogod5711 Yes, I know what a liar is. I also know what a hater is.
Thankfully, the E99 ECM has already been cracked, so it should just be a matter of developing the tunes; can't wait!
$2000 just for the PCM crack and credits alone...crazy high but yep at least its possible
All I can say is that my C8 LT2 is an absolute dream ... I have the performance exhaust as well. Much to the chagrin of my neighbors ... Cold start will wake the dead. But oh man, when you tickle to go pedal it's a symphony.
Beautiful masterpiece
Started from 345hp (LS1) To 495hp for LT2 that's a HUGE improvement !!
yeah, my ls2 gained over 100 horsepower from cam, intake and headers. Cant wait to see what a fucking beast like this could pump out while staying NA, or even with a supercharger right there under the rear window
@@ImKittyCow people say it might be impossible to tune due to complex pcu and if u can it'll be costlllly
@@TheSprykilla i heard they already cracked the e99, why manufactures put any encryption at all is beyond me but once theyve been out a few months i cant imagine a shop charging an arm and a leg for it
@@ImKittyCow thats that fair but yeah these things will be pretty nasty then maybe not 720s speed for but 60k with 10k of mods yeav
I’m a die in the wool MOPAR lover but I have to tip my hat to Chevy on this corvette.
I too love Mopar! The Viper without a doubt would still be in production had it not been for FIAT!
The Fat Cat better shape up.
Glenn Oropeza they’re bringing the Viper back. It’s going to powered by the aluminum V8 Hemi replacement from FCA. Word is it’s coming in a few trims from base model to race model. I’m hoping it comes to life.
@Ivana Notyers There should be a comma after "Dyed".
Ivana Notyers okay spell check police I didn’t notice it!
As a Ford guy, all I can say is DAYUM!!
As a JDM guy, all i can say is DAYUM SON
As a Dodge guy all I can say is MOPAR OR DAYUM
As a Rarri guy... Good job.
@@DevilDaRebel what the fuck is a rarri???
As a Chevy guy, all l can say is *WTF!*
Well done video. The music would not have been missed. Sounds like what they play in the Chinese restaurant I like.
Robert Mizek this comment is gold
Just wait ten min
Tbh, I'd like both previous and 2020 Vettes.
Gice it a couple years & people will be creating monsters with this new design. Also the ZR1 version of the C8 probably gonna be stepping onto Hypercar territory for a fraction of the cost. Can't wait to buy mines
Mines are extremely dangerous and shouldn’t be planted near people
Adam Nelson that’s crazy, this is some snarky shit I would say. What a world.
Great info, well done
Thank you for sharing the info on the LT 2 and I think Chevrolet really knock it out of the park this time. I went and looked at the C8 over the weekend and I am very impressed and I can’t wait to drive it.
Very well done!
Nice video!!!
Time will tell. But twin turbo set up will make this car super fun.
I've heard that the C8 Z06 Corvette will come out next year with a V8 4.2 litre twin turbo engine which will produce more power than the Stingray.
I can't wait for the recalls and bugs. I'd hold off on purchases. Who wants there new C8 in December anyways?
You bet, and more frequent visits to the gas station and tire store. Many new friends. Thanks for this fine report. Love the exhaust headers. Finally something that looks good and perhaps functions without after market. Who will be first to chrome these babies?
It will be super fun in stock form too.
@@s.reynolds3415 yea that new tranny and oil sump system is what im looking at lol
New subber. Very informative and interesting information.
Good info love the motor, Thanks!
The cut always are awesome
Interesting and nice video. Many thanks.
This is best corvette ever in my opinion ! Worth ever penny!
Nice vid
Good video explaining the engine.
LT2 exhaust manifold looks sweet; form follows function
“Mounted Mid-Engine”. Great quote. Lol
Informative bro informative
Nice video 🙂
Love the intake manifold design.
It's innovative & enhanced.. l like it !!
Well done sir. I'm a Vette owner occasionally.
Very interesting !
2:41 A High Rise intake manifold makes more torque and less HP. Short runner intake always makes more HP at higher RPM but less torque, this is why trucks have long runner intakes because they need all the bottom end torque as much as they can get.
Man, this engine with a roots style blower will be incredible.
Like!Ah that plastic engine cover is really rad!!
@B is for Build This is the perfect engine for your shenanigans!!!!
lmao
The picture looks like the exhaust manifold would work great for a turbo set up in other cars
Set of heads, decent cam and a blower is going to be nasty on this. 👏🏻
Would make any performance vehicle nasty
Those items an a free flowing exhaust.
Just plain sick
The LT2 is a game changer. The present and the future for the LT2 is such a engineering marvel.
Nice and wait for other models with more Power... ;-D
Looks like it would make a great powerboat motor.
No doubt!
The intake reminds me of the late gen truck manifolds with the long open runners and very tall overall clearance. I'm surprised the stock unit stayed 87mm, since 90mm and bigger has been seen in previous LS/LT engines. Did the LT1 come factory with 1.8 rockers or is that new?
I love that GM even tried to encrypt an ECU. Come on, guys. Car guys seem to have nothing but time, and theres a huge overlap between the hacker community and car enthusiasts. That encryption is at worst an annoyance.
Yup Nothing is uncrackable
love that you mention there's an overlap. im a cs major and am a car guy to the bone. guess im not alone lol
I'm waiting for the first guy to do an 8-1 exhaust system. The firing order of the GM V8s end up making it sound pretty exotic when the exhaust is done in that configuration..
I like it, going to be an awesome car.
i plan on buying this engine and putting it in my 86 Monte Carlo
Stick the headers out the hood
It’s all about the cam and dynamic compression
So different cam, Intake manifold, and stock headers.. Nice..
@lenny 034 Yea, but I believe the LT1 in the GrandSport had that already.. It’s nothing really new..
Were you expecting something else? A pretty decent little bump from the LT1. Bigger power bumps than the LS2 gave over the LS1 back in the day.
@Chuck Beef No.. I love the car and everything about it..
Camaro_LT1 Oh. The double period thing.. had me thinking you were being sarcastic. Lol you’re right its looking to be a pretty great car.
Those coil packs are gonna be a gigantic PITA to change out!
Coils are one of the most reliable parts though.
Why would you need to change out coil packs? Hell I never had an issue with any of mine on the LS motors and thats after going over 200k miles in some of them.
The engine is fine, a nice piece of engineering. With that said its going to be a PITA to work on because of its location.
timing belt 👎
It's cool that it is a direct port injected motor since all LS engines after 2015 were
Good bye Toyota Zupra.. Nice knowing ya.. 😅😅😅
You think it is better then Toyota???? You can buy a 1999 Corvett for
$3000.00 Supra 1999 for $80.000????
Except...the new Supra is a rebadged BMW. Why don’t you give us some price information on 1999 BMW’s.
Giancarlo Cesari that shows how overpriced they are
my stage 3 (downpipe and injectors tune only old EJ motor) 2015 Sti w eurothane driveline mounts and springs/big rubber will out run and outhandle a new zupra w my kids in tha back lol. And its nothing near what my old Evo could do.. New cars hype machine. Kids need to get off the supra titty new one and the old 90s one that was same as a Lexus SC300 lol
@@carlocesari1 Who said anything about previous generation Supra? I'm talking about the new Supra.. With the BMW engine, and interior as well. The new Corvette is faster, nicer, and overall a better package..
All I can think of saying is"wow" and totally awesome dude LoL I'm Peter from Hamilton Ontario Canada and 47 years old and always wanted a Vette but can never afford one but it doesn't matter now because I'm a stroke and cardiac arrest survivor and can't drive anymore especially a new Vette
@Matthew Gerhardt thank you sir you as well
Thanks for the info!
But is the transmission really any different from existing dual clutches? Even the 8L90 shifts "inhumanly" fast.
prettiest production small block
the throttle body is now facing the other way towards the ring gear,, but on others its facing the accessory drives,, am i correct,, or not
The engine is excellent 💎💥🚀🏁
The LT2 is just a slightly modified dry sump LT1 with a cam, headers, and intake manifold. It uses the same internals, same throttle body, same fuel system, and still isn't dual injected for carbon buildup.
Ya the only problem with the dual injection set up is that it is patented technology. Right now Ford is being sued for stealing that tech. In time they will release that tech. but for now just dump some fuel system cleaner in every other oil change.
@@samduran5180 Lexus, Nissan, Porsche, VW, Toyota, Acura, and Subaru all use dual injection so Ford's lawsuit isn't because of that. It's
DirtDude117 it’s what?? Lol
@@jakebro5557 Lexus ISF and IS350 have been dual injected since 08. Nissan used due injection over seas. Porsche uses it in the 9A1 & Cayanne/Panamara. The Lambo/R8 V10 is dual injection. The EA888 overseas is dual injected in everything. Toyota even uses it in the Corolla, FRS, and Camry now. The BRZ, WRX, and Ascent are all Subaru dual injection. I believe the turbo engines non-STI all use it.
@@samduran5180 what are you talking about the zr1 had dual injectors (port & direct)
I'm keeping my C7 manual transmission for 3 pedal engagement fun when I get a C8.
Sure she slip right in....
Drive a dual clutch and you ll soon forget the manual.
I found this video informational
I like the placement of the coil packs and the exhaust, although the exhaust does look quite wide to be fitted into your average engine bay. I'm wondering when they will design an engine w/ the exhaust coming out of the top of the engine and the intake coming from the side, opposite of current configurations? This set-up would (IMHO) make a more efficient engine using some basic physics principles, like heat rises and cool drops/falls. I need to get one of those software design programs and start playing around.
it certainly makes good sense
If it was not for the near perfectly square steering wheel the C8 would be a masterpiece.
Do you pic or video, where and how, cold air gets into the engine?
this round the corvette wins
nice job chevy
Lt2 is not replacing the lt1. The lt2 is like the ls4 on front wheel drive vehicles. The bell housing bolt pattern for the transmission are different from the front location lt1, lt4, lt5 and truck engines.
Nice informative video. Good job! Any info on the flat plane crank which was rumored vs the cross plane crank which would increase RPM to 8000+? Any plans for the future development? Perhaps Z06 or ZR1?
You'll never see a flat plane crank in a 6.2 Corvette and with good reason. A 6.2 was never designed to be an ultra-high-rpm engine like a 5.2 Coyote and there's no other advantages to a flat crank. In fact, while they have an interesting snarl they also create quite a bit of annoying high-rpm vibration...ask any GT350 owner. The serious power will come with the turbocharged 5.5 DOHC engine planned for the future and don't look for it to be a flat-plane crank motor, either. Folks, this is a 3.0 second 0-60, 11-flat quarter mile, 180+mph car and handling to match with the base engine - and y'all act like it's a big disappointment for being underpowered. I'm a member of the Too-Much-Is-Just-Enough club, but sheesh.... :(
As usual, Chevy`s engine R&D team is hitting a home run with this new engine. Even though it`s quite healthy, HP-wise, even in base form, those forged internals and dry sump setup show they`re building a strong foundation for even more prodigious output.
Is the LT2 all alloy?
Hello, does the lt2 features both port and direct injection or does it have only direct injection ? If it’s the cas do you think it will have carbon build up issues like all the other direct injection engines ?
Only direct injection like the LT1.
Does anybody know if this motor comes with that worthless displacement on demand?
I have on order my c8 2LT the lt motor is going to be Real !!! I have a LS 396 in my 66 Chevelle, what a motor
Very good piece, thanks; If I may, how close is my C7 2017 Grand Sport automatic to the new Dual Clutch, what's the acronym? DCT?...sort of?...not really? completely different?....thanks
I hear from people in BGKY. That there’s a 5.5 liter version of the Blackwing LTA that’s getting dropped in for the Zora (2020’s ZR1)
The engine features the following highlight characteristics:
Twin-scroll turbochargers
Electronic wastegate control
Twin water-to-air charge coolers
Twin throttle bodies
Direct injection
Dual-independent camshaft phasing
Active Fuel Management / Cylinder Deactivation
Variable-pressure oiling system
Stop/start technology
1,000HP AWD with a 10 speed DCT.
I could be imagining things but during the picture of the engine valley, the ports for the active fuel management looked like that they had been plugged, hmmm.......
I like those numbers
495 horsepower would make for an awesome speedboat engine- which is nothing new for Corvette's engine! But now it's going to be smaller, less weight and more fuel efficient than the traditional big block Chevrolet engine!
The headers look like they're natural for speed boats too XD
Lt5 from the 90s was handbuilt by Mercury marine, who then proceeded to make an lt5 powered boat, towed by an lt5 powered Corvette. It was a funny and amazing thing to see.
Perhaps the coils are lower for maintenance purposes as well. They might be accessible from a lift.
They wanted the motor to look more pleasing through the glass canopy. They will be easily accessible under the car on a lift I'm sure.
Companies who usually race Corvettes had a definite say in the engineering of this beauty. Especially IMSA and Le Mans series. Sorry don't know which company competes with the R series Vettes.
Just what I wanted to hear I'm installing the 2 cam in my 2015 LT1 Z51 motor in my 57 Chevy sedan delivery to deleet the afm dod
How hard will it be to do maintenance....or what is estimated cost at dealers?
I hope the car performs as promised.
Engine looks great, but that instrument cluster is beyond BLAAGGGHHHH!
Yeah bland econocar digital guages
@u aint bout it analog guages would've been better
Are the return oil pumps electric?
I wouldn’t be surprised to see hybrid motors and a supercharger for the zr1 c8
Will it have the massive intake valve issue that many DI engines have? Maybe we should wait for the dual injection version.
What color choices are available for the LT2?
When they put this engine in a Skyline GTR...it's gonna be sick
Dies it have dual port and direct injection fuel systems?
So this was the original potential of the LT1 from 2014. I believe it still has cylinder deactivation with this new cam. Move of coil packs to the bottom is interesting.
It does still have the AFM.
So about 79.8hp per liter. Super cool bro
If liter correlates to physical engine size and engine weight I guess it would matter.
Penny Lane, allow me to share with you where i was going with this. Lexus LFA has a 4.8 liter V10. A V10 thats smaller than a traditional V8 AND lighter than a V6. This “4.8 liter” pumps out 560ps which works out to 116hp per liter.
Acura Integra Type R with its B18C5 engine pumps out 200ps, thats 111.11 hp per liter. Their S2000 makes 240 with its 2.2 liter, thats 109.1 hp per liter.
Are you starting to see the picture? Yes, despite having more hp per liter doesnt mean itll beat it. It just goes to show the amount of engineering that was put into those motors is nothing compared to what any big american V8s or V10s and inline 4s put out- in natural aspirated form of course.
Im saying, regardless of how big American muscle goes, the engineering on their engines is mediocre compared to other car manufacturers.
Doesn't really matter if the end result weighs the same or more, and has less torque lower in the rev range because of a lack of displacement. Forcing you to go with deeper gears in the axle to compensate for having less torque down low. Lighter than what V6? GMC had a V6 that was over 470ci, probably weighed the same as a chevrolet big block,smaller than what V8? You can have an LS block engine under the hood and have no idea if it displaces 293ci or 414ci with no descernible difference in physical engine size. You can have a V8 smaller in displacement and physical size than a 4 cylinder. I think I recall honda or nissan having a 1.6 litre V16, and Henry Ford built a car with an 18.9 liter 4 cylinder.There's no traditional sizes, it's not a very impressive feat of engineering if you have a high level of hp per ci, but to get there means the vehicle has to be saddle with extra weight on and to be made a larger size,kind of seems to defeat the purpose. If you had to choose between 2 engines, both weighed 475 lbs, both make 500 hp, but one is 300ci and the other is 400ci which would you choose? If you had any logic you would pick the 400ci. Why? It's because you would have more torque which means more hp down lower in the rpm. Which means you're not having to gear it as deep, which means you'll get better gas mileage. If it's not giving anything up to the 300 ci engine in terms of peak horsepower, engine weight, possible physical size, but makes more power down low and same power at their peaks, then what honestly does hp/ci matter? If 4.8 meant 480 lbs and 7.0 meant 700 lbs then ok, but it never did. If both weigh the same then what's the advantage in having less displacement? Better engineering? How about wasting brain power on something that has a simple solution?
2009 Honda S2000
curb weight 2,850 lbs
2.2 engine
237 hp 107.7 hp/liter
mpg 18 city/25 highway
2018 Chevrolet Corvette
curb weight 3,450 (600 lbs heavier)
6.2 engine (2.8 times more displacement)
455 hp (1.9 times the power)
mpg 16 city/25 highway
With all the differences shouldn't the Corvette be a lot worse in mpg? It's because the lack of torque in the S2000 forces the need for a 4.1 axle where the Corvette axle is either a 2.41 or a 2.73. Even Honda realized they messed up and added more displacement so the peak torque would come in about 700 rpm sooner.
@@Hakuna_My_Tatas yeah well that's just your opinion bro.
@@MrJimbo666 , hey fanboy, it's not MY opinion. It IS fact, out of 6.2 liters, this is ONLY putting out 79.8HP. Ok I'll round it up, 80hp per liter. Weak, if you ask me, bro. Big V8, Cuz Murica!!! That's why
It will be interesting to see how it competes with the European counterparts. I'm certainly interested in getting one, but I'd rather wait a bit for reviews to come out. Never thought I'd fall head over heels for a Chevy lol.. Good job GM.
When they make an LT2 6.6 litre engine for the C8 Corvette l will buy one.
4:16 I watched this entire video about how amazing this engine is just to see it smoke like a genie is about to pop out the pipe. Just kidding I want one of them !!
My only gripe. It looks like engine accessories are hard to work on without dropping the engine/ rear cradle.
Is the DCT an option or is a MT an option?
Not sure this and the Subra will be in the same price range in Japan. USA is not the only market for Toyota.
HP Tuners are able to tune the GM E99 already on the ZR1
