Im setup for dyno tuning on Dec 19th but Im hoping to get the car dialed in as best I can before that. I am going to be getting HP Tuners Pro and i just got a Dynojet Wideband2. I need a small amount of advice on a couple things, heres the setup Im running:
00 Ls1 Trans Am ws6 w/ T-56
LS6 intake
60# siemens deka injectors
stock pump(i think I need to upgrade this)
Masterpower T70(front mounted, intercooled)
Tial 38mm WG(5.8psi spring)
Steed Speed Inline BOV
eBay hot piping
Stock MAF and MAP(I need some info on SD and 2 bar MAP also)
Ls6 oil pump
Double roller timing chain


Being as Im just running about 6psi on stock internals, I figured the MAF and MAP will be fine for now but Im more worried about the fuel pump running out. I just need to figure out this stuff prior to my tuning date so I can get a base tune on it and work out all the little kinks that can arise from a build liek this. Thanks!

BTW, if you think something needs to be added/changed can you give me an idea of where to buy the part :-)

You need a pump and while you are in there you should do two.

I plan on going SD with my tune my build should be done within a few weeks.

Do you have pics of your drain in the plan yet? I would like to see placement of this.

No pics but I had the front of the oil pan tapped. I can get a pic when Im off work. I think Im going to run a single walbro 255 for now, I dont plan on going crazy with boost anytime soon.

Are you running a catch can or pcv system?

Did you cut your wastegate dump? mine was only a like 1/2" hole so i cut it and capped it off.

its getting capped off, running open WG. Im going to be running a breather on the driver side valve cover and an evacuation system to the exhaust for the forward most pcv port on the passenger side. The other ports are getting capped off.

what kind of valvesprings you have ? what kind of pushrods ?

what kind of motor ? ls1 ? lq9 ? lq4?

what heads ? 317 ? 243? 241 ?

you plan on using meth ?

you will defiantly need a fuel pump. and i would seriously consider the double pump option. i went with a single racetronix with a hotwire kit and will be pulling it out for a dual setup. boost is very addictive

XtremeDime

LS1. All internals are stock. Heads are stock. Not planning on using meth until my motor can handle more boost, being in alaska i dont have to worry about IAT lol. Im only going to be running about 6psi to start with. Going to place an order to TSP for their hotwire kit with a Walbro 255. Also need to pick up some gauges :p

Look at nasty here too he has a hotwire kit for alot cheaper and the pumps.

even at 6psi i think you are going to see some valve float. i would upgrade the valvesprings to patriots, but if you do that, you will have to upgrade the pushrods too.

Should I do valve springs and pushrods?

XtremeDime

iTrader: (16)

Lol answered my question. Are the yellow ls6 springs ok? What pushrods would you pair them with?

MUSTANGBRKR02

iTrader: (91)

I say yes. You will eventually.

think about 317 heads. they lower the compression a little bit.

XtremeDime

If someone has some ls6 yellows and 7.4" hardened push rods please let me know, I guess im in the market. Even though Ive never done them before...lol

elias_799

just get patriot duals and be done with it. they are not too expensive

XtremeDime

iTrader: (16)

Well the thing is, I was going to do a higher boost build next winter so Id rather wait on that.

you can reuse the springs in you next build

Might wanna rethink that setup. The exhaust evac system is neat but it's completely useless if you're also going to vent to atmosphere via breather filters. You'd maintain zero vacuum and you'd be drawing unmetered air into the crankcase.

XtremeDime

What would you suggest? Another member on here did a full write up and had great success with it. I suppose I could run 1 port off each valve cover to the exhaust which would create a constant vacuum in the crank case. Is that better?
