Can you get a LS1 to run in reverse rotation?
 
probably right?

I would assume you mean for marine use, so check this out:

yes, it was a question asked on another board which made me curiouls. I'd like to read that but id have to be able to read above a 4th grade level. I will check iot out tonight though when i have time, thanks.

wow, what an interesting set of posts... i never would have thought about an LS1 in a boat, but why not - every other engine type/size has been 'marinized'.

LTb1ow 06-30-2008 11:08 AM

Why not get a counter rotation tranny or outdrive? I think that would be easier...

alamantia 06-30-2008 11:08 AM

if someone makes a cam, i dont see why not if you have a heat exchanger, or ONLY run itin fresh water

LTb1ow 06-30-2008 11:12 AM

Or just flush the block with fresh water after each use.

Yea forgot about the whole saltwater + different metals. But I would just get a gear swap to make it counter rotate.

or mount the prop shaft to the balancer???

some one put a turbo ls1 in a cessna plane...........it was it hot rod

Apparently this guy's S/C Cobalt SS's engine runs in reverse :rofl:

Just read the first two or 3 pages.

:| the thread's eh.. the guy made like 2 posts in 3 pages, he's not even trying to defend himself *yawn*

Frosty 07-04-2008 09:03 AM

Yeah, I was hoping it'd get better, they kept saying "epic" so I was hoping it'd take off.

His second post was pretty funny, it turned out it was a joke though lol

2 things first alloy motors parts never liked salt if you ever had to dissasemble one

second - its only the ((( old boat ))) stuff that has the motor turn backwards the stuff today the out drive does it < cheaper to make a drive than all the motor stuff -- like oil pump , most use gear to gear for the cam , cam it self the , the crank is a thing some have a special unit and some dont i believe its a firing order thing in a V8 that determins it not sure - never payed that much attension to boats -- jz

How about you get an inversed turbo encabulator with a synchronized direct phase detractor to produce the proper centripetal acceleration weighted off the tangent that you are looking for and of course you would have to worry about mass*acceleration dampening...

you forgot the flux capacitor and the continuum transfunctioner

yea, other than older marine applications the only thing I know of that uses reverse rotation are certain industrial applications.
