Got the ****ers to work finally.

Heres the only problems:

Tach: Its not calibrated for a v8
Fuel.....i think its computer controlled, cant get it to work so aftermarket is the best bet!

Pita, a wiring headache, but well worth it now!

 

how is the tach not calibrated for a v8, the ls1 is a v8

anyways nice work now lets see some pictures!

 

Probably out of a v6 Camaro

 

its not. I guess from what ive been told by the ls1 owners is its setup for a 4cyl

And no its not a v6 cluster, right out of my buddies wrecked 98 z28.

Looks like it's comming along nicely.....

how are you going to go about recalibrating the tach?

 

Tach interface box from dakota digital. If your goign with lt1 guages, then this shouldnt be an issue, but it is on the ls1 guages. Nice to see me pegging 7k lol.

 

very nice.....A++ for the effort.

can't wait to see it all together....good luck!

 

nice work so far! What's your plans for the HVAC?

 

what are you going to do about the gap at the windshield? Weird that a LS1 tach is wired for a 4 cyl.....hmmm...maybe I have hopes for my car? lol

 

The LS1 isn't thought of as a v8, more of 2 4 bangers. Remember it isn't a single coil and a dissy, it isn't even waste spark, it's CNP (Coil Near Plug). So there is no way to just tap into the coil's ground wire to get the tach signal. Well there is, but keepin it simple: LS1's are so advanced that their computers can not only detect knock but in WHICH cylinder and control that cylinders timing! This is one reason why they accept mods so well. Another is the fact that they have a great exhaust and so whatever kind of air/fuel you can get into it, it'll eat up and make the big ponies. Hence the whole larger intake lift and duration to make power on the LS1. But anyways, this is cool that you got it to work. I hope you've got pictures .
edit: Just went to website, so scratch the need for pictures. Looks awesome!

 

Cutting the 4th gen dashpad to match, but that will be this week, among moding the 4th gen headlight swtich panel.

 

Go bye bye. heater core been gone for several yrs now. Ac delete in the works......

 

I just noticed that you had the Mr Mikes seats and the red interior, do you have flame red or carmine? I'd actually like to see a nice leather seat replacement that goes with the carmine interior.

 

Its flame red, and those were the first, the ones he has posted at his site are pics of mine lol.

 

No HVAC, that's crazy talk. Seriously, it looks great.

 

Sunny so cal is the best place!:hail:
