need a bit of everything for the Turbo LS1 project, and ive been given the task of keeping project costs down by finding stuff “cheap”
so heres what my original plans called for
44mm wastegate
50mm bov
48# injectors
aeromotive FPR & fuel press gauge
24x12x3 ebay FMIC
lc1 wideband
Gauges - boost, oil pressure, tranny temp, engine oil temp
if anyone has similar parts to offer up that would save us a bit of money over retail, let me know, and we will see what we can work out
… I have a fuel press., Oil Press. … and a front mount for ya
someone on ka-t.org is selling all the aeromotive stuff cheap… is your motor/tranny still for sale?
BDR, what make / style are they ? condition ? price ?
my240 - 1) thanks for the lead 2)yes they are, and they are still in the car was thinking about yanking them this week so i could start setting the v6 in there
might as well add another ls1 motor to the list since it wont take tim too long to fuck something up
Ebay FMIC, not a good idea. They are a low density turbulator core which makes for weak heat transfer even at that size. A similar Garrett core is good for 900. I wouldn’t expect that one to be good for 350.
Perfect cond. … the gauges are Autometer sport comp ultralight …
The fuel is a full electronic (in car mount) …
the FMIC … is a turbo technology … its on a stang right now …
http://autometer.com/cat_gaugedetail.aspx?ref=search&gid=3121 … oil press is also a ultra light
any suggestions on an intercooler that is good for 600hp, and offers a good quality/price compromise?
i know a bunch of guys (using said ebay fmic) have reported charge temps withing 10-30* of ambient on similar setups over on ls1tech (same engine / turbo / hp level)
I Have Oil Temp and Trans. Temp Guages in a custom pod made out of sheet metal, it looks very very good, cannot tell it is hand made, holds both guages perfectly. Guages never hooked up therefore they are brand new… Autometer Ultra-Light guages… the only thing is they are the larger size guages i dont know if that matters to you or not… i believe they are 2 5/16
I have an obx intercooler 12x24x3 and a turboxs bov (not the cheap one)
I still have an SX FPR new in box I think I paid like 160 for it 2 years ago and never put it on. Make and offer.
please change LC-1 wideband to an AEM uego…PLEASE…you know this.
that or buy my LC-1 so i can go buy an AEM lol
^^^ haha … woops
i must have typed LC-1 because i was wondering what parts tom still has from the eclipse, and he had the lc-1. i definantly know that the aem uego > the lc-1
How do you come to that conclusion?
I have a new HKS SSQV BOV, new RC 750cc injectors, used Aeromotive FPR, and used OBX boost gauge if you’re interested in any of them send me a PM.
because of the experiences with mine…we installed it, and calibrated it…but it did not come with the LED it was supposed to come with, so when calibrating its a guessing game if it is ready or not. the whole calibrating thing is just a major PITA. not only that, but the software for it that comes with it is out of date, and you have to download a new version right away. on top of that, the software was giving me major problems and would not connect to the unit to adjust the changes. then once i made the changes, it would not keep them. i also could not get the sensor to log at all, no matter what formula i used it simply would not create a voltage other than the fact that it was on.
We then borrowed alex’s(somedude) AEM UEGO while his car was down to tune, and it had WAY less wires (only three vs. the LC-1’s 7), you didnt need to calibrate it, and the forumla was so simple a caveman could log with it.
what the hell is that about, my name isn’t “tony” and i haven’t broken anything in my car after working on it??
i’m usually just the “supervisor” when its getting worked on, then i can blame the mechanics
i’ve got a FMIC of a 2.3 Saab, dont know how mush it will handle, but its $50 If u want it.
