niceeee! a third gen with a gen 3 forced induction motor.

right now in building an 88 gta, 2002 ls1, t56, 9" w/4.11 a radix 112 magnacharger with a 2.9 pulley, innercooled, lingenfelter cam, headers...

actually its under a "trickflow" cold air. came in a trickflow box and all said k&n weird.... but im not complaining

here's mine:

-Stock 5.3 pullout from a 2006 Silverado Z71 with 40,000 miles
-MN12 GTO 6 speed transmission
-LS1 intake and injectors
-255 LPH in-tank fuel pump
-Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator
-F-body oil pan and accessories
-Stainless Works LSX swap headers

Here's some better ones now that it's "finished".

sweet, what did it cost ya?

A little more complete than my last photo.

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

it was like 219.99 from summit?????? guess the trickflow box is made thinner than 254.99 k&n box. lol

Still a little ways away from being done but I am getting there. At least it's in there

Yay, Bradly.
How's your car doing?? Your's was one of the first I saw on here.

seriously, why is this not a sticky?

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

Well, here is the last pic of my car with the stock ls1. It now is being torn apart doing a ls1 front brake swap and a Texas Speed and Performance head and cam swap. Woohoo cant wait!!!!!!

Check post #7.

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

what heads/cam you going with?

One of my winter projects is going to be to get my LS2 fuel rail covers on the motor

I am going with PRC stage 2.5 ls6 heads and 220/220 cam. I am also going to get Hawks long tubes.

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

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.

more updated picture since last time with the slp dual int and the a/c on and working

heres one of my less than $1500 car+engine weekend project
dont mind the horrible paint in the bay the previous 305 pretty much melted after a huge n20 back fire

Here's mine....

oh my!!!! where did you get that a/c bracket????????????????????

Engine Shot


Sunny Afternoon Shot


Smoking a 4th Gen SS

That last shot is awesome.

I made it

Some really nice rides in here. I can't wait to get started on my 85 .

heres mine finished

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

How did you get a GEN IV LS2 block that still uses GEN III components? Wrong timing cover and no external knock sensors

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?

Dont paint them white. Nothing else engine related is white, it would look out of place

Anyone have close up shots of the PS line coming out of the pressure side of the pump?

Here is my entry.

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!

I have one...it doesnt fit anywhere near "perfect"
I wanted to see how it was routed.

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 tried it a few times, doesnt seem to work in any configuration.

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:

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

I'm not done yet, but here is my engine bay.

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.

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

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

Depends... I do like those headers though.

Those headers do look nice, if I ever do a turbo or two in my car i'll be going with those headers

My ugly duckling. 2000 Camaro LS1/4L60E, LS6 intake & air inlet parts from intakehoses.com and AMSOIL, Hawks 1-3/4" w/2.5" collectors headers, shaved 317 heads, Transgo shift improver kit, RevMax 3000 stall converter, 3.73 gears.

Side shot (sorry, didn't get one with it back on the ground):




Mile-high launch (5800' elevation, ~8500' DA), 2.0 60':

trailblazer ss, is BEAST btw, my father and uncle both have silver ones. ls2 powered with awd. my father pulled away from me, towing a car loaded trailer. 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

Your car is so badass!!!! betcha it surprises the hell outta people! What did you run?
