Well, I havent shown off my ls1 yet, so here it is. It is a 1999 Ls1 with 4500 miles on it. Yes, 4,500 miles. The donor car was wrecked in 1999. Now with the ls6 intake and GTO CAI. I also have a video of it with the ls1 intake and the stock tpi intake. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlvSSjgDErI

Re: Post pics of LSX swap third gens

It's not REALLY Tech related. It could actually probably fit more closely with the appearance section. Not that I'm complaining, because I enjoy seeing others' work. I was just answering your question lol

Check post #7.

I would say seeing how things can fit is tech related in a swap forum.

Re: Post pics of LSX swap third gens

Bah, that's a baby cam. You sure you don't want something bigger? At least get the 224R or 228R those are kinda mild in my book even still.

Texas Speed has a Magic Stick 5 now I think... I want it haha

Re: Post pics of LSX swap third gens

I generally dont like coil covers but they really do make it look at home in there

if your going to spend that kinda money on a set of heads id go with a bigger camshaft. but id go and have pat g. custom spec you one.
on another note. my new ls2 motor.
How did you get a GEN IV LS2 block that still uses GEN III components? Wrong timing cover and no external knock sensors

Re: Post pics of LSX swap third gens

i wasn't sure on the covers. i was so used to the engine without them during the swap but my friends encouraged me to install them. i was thinking of leaving the valve cover part of the coil cover silver with yellow lettering and painting the rest of the cover white. is that too much white in the engine bay, opinions?

Re: Post pics of LSX swap third gens

I personally don't have a pic of the high pressure power steering hose but go buy yourself one at your local parts store for a 98-02 Camaro and it fits perfectly!

Here is a picture of the hose you need, make sure it looks like this:

The red arrow end goes on the ps pump and wraps around the back between the pump and the cylinder head, and the blue end goes to the steering box. You will most likely have a little bit of slack when using this hose and it may come into contact with the ps pulley, but most of us just zip tie the ps pressure hose to the reservoir hose to keep it away from the ps pulley. I'm pretty sure just about everyone else is using this hose unless they went with braided lines and AN fittings.

I'm running the stock 2001 Trans Am power steering pressure line. Not sure if the car had the optional PS cooler or not, but it bolted right up to my '88 steering box.

You can see the shape of the hose's metal end here:

Re: Post pics of LSX swap third gens

Why doesnt it work? It uses the same 16mm x 1.5 O-ring fitting as your stock PS pump did. Just thread it in there and bend it back slightly to clear the pulley

Should look like this

Heres an updated set from my 5.3/4L60E/M90 swap. Still need to ditch the stock overflow tank

Re: Post pics of LSX swap third gens

Here's a pic of mine.It's a 2001 LS1 with the SW headers and a BW S475. I will be running it on E85, that's why I'm not running an intercooler.

Re: Post pics of LSX swap third gens

Can you not use a power steering pump with those headers?

Re: Post pics of LSX swap third gens

I assume not by the looks of it, but his looks to be a race car anyways judging by the motor plate. Why, you're not considering TWO turbo's are you Nick? lol

I was driving my 08 civic si, which is a nice car stock. at 197hp for the little 2.0 liter 4banger it had. I didn't think he could, but her surely did!! this is why I am going to whip both of their asses when I drop my ls3 in the bird
