do that ls1 conversion t07 single turbo lighter more reliable cheaper to repair sounds like a V8 lots of em doing it 200mm narrower 100mm longer can get all around donk, easy simple cams and exhaust reliable abundant power 5 year old motor a bonus
AIV and PRVR delete Whilst you got the guards off do a full AIV and PRVR delete. Grind off all the brackets that hold that crap in place too. Gives a good 5-10kg weight saving and removes some vacuum lines from the engine bay. Some great info here: http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/138229.html
I could just prime and paint. but i think with a little bit more time and effort put in I could make it look better with the dremel
just another update as I drain my bank account. New turbos have been puchased with dumps cannot wait for these puppies to arrive. hope to get the engine out this weekend and start playing around, my manual conversion arrives this week too and will start putting that in. The question raised is that I see guys with manual cars have put in cruise control with OEM parts. is it easy to hook up the manual box with the cruise control from the auto already still in place? I read I may need to change to a manual C/C computer?
Engine crane and mates are booked in for Saturday morning. So out she comes finally, will strip it down see if I can see any issues. and go from there. fingers crossed somehow its still in one piece. I have just purchased new rims off tony123 picking them up this weekend aswell and also added new intake and exhaust parts to my list. FMIC Chrome hard intake pipes Dual intake Pod adapter Highflow Turbo's Stainless dumpipes and test pipes christmas in july
It finally out!!! onwards and upwards here we got soo much done today Engine out Turbo's and exhaust manifolds removed Sump removed - The crank is in one piece!!! everything turns over fine so will rip the heads off this week and see if the top end is ok EGR Delete Carbon Canister Delete Removed a bunch of wires from a dodgy alarm install Cannot wait to start putting it back together. BIG thanks to Zxy-Beast for the engine crane hire,
This is some great progress and even greater enthusiasm. There aRe some peOple that coulD learn from this...
Looking great so far. Ejoying the read. Wheres the obligatory photo standing in the empty engine bay with beer? Seems to be a common theme round here. Looking forward to the rest of the rebuild.
I saw what you did there! Great project, mate! Lookin' forward to your progress. It's always good to hear members helping each other. Well done, zxy-beast... Arvin
