I have been a member for a while, but havent really posted much of my progress. I swapped an 02 Ls1 with a 4l60e into my 86 Iroc. I also swapped the interior. I couldnt have dont it without the guidance I got from alot of writeups (especially TPI TERROR & ghettocruiser).

Well here is its first start

nice swap! mine will get to that point eventually. I assume those are the hawks headers?

Thanks, yes they are the hawks headers. I didn't understand the maf question, what did you want to know?

sweet swap man! The Hawks headers were able to bolt right up with no problem?

Yes, they bolted right up, but the pass header s pretty close to the frame rail and if using a4l60e the o2 on the pass will have to be relocated.

my headers hit and rattle on the passenger side from time to time.
its an annoying issue that im going to fix while i have my tranny out.

the thing that worries me about moving the O2 down the header is that, if im able to compensate the AFR with a tune. Im trying to keep the car running clean so i can pass cali smog crap!. I know i cant have L/T but im not worried about that its the sniffer. I heard of banging the crap out of the pass floor board to fit the O2. Any thought?

1quickirocz

so they dont design the headers to work directly with a 4l60e? does anybody have a pic of the pass o2 clearance issue and where it needs to be relocated to?

TJ

the headers were designed around a 6 spd car.
banging in the floor pan wont do any good on the passenger side. the o2 sensor is angled towards the transmission.
i have mine plugged and have a fitting welded in my y pipe about 3" off the collector.
its not optimal, but i dont think there is that much difference in the reading.
i still see changes when i make changes, even if its a few tenths off.
not going to blow a motor or have trouble tuning because of the location.

I was also going to relocate it to the y pipe, but I wanted the most accurate reading so I just made another bung in the same location, just on the bottom of the header, where it wouldnt hit the trans.

the only problem about this is that water will always hit the sensor making bad things happen lol. I would relocate it around 12 o clock

Pointing the O2 strait down is asking for something on the road to break it off

I positioned the o2 in the 9 o clock position. It shouldnt hit anything.

I finally got the car tuned today. It was tuned by Ryan Performance Machines (RPM) in Garner, NC. It made 378rwhp and 384rwtq uncorrected and 367rwhp and 375rwtq corrected. I am happy with the results, since its a cam only stalled auto. Well here is a video of today.
