Bob's S13 LS1 Drift Build Well at the last drift event (Midnight Madness) at Gateway Raceway in 2013, my SR decided to give up from what I suspect to be a spun rod bearing. I ran this SR for 3 years and never gave me many problems.. But instead of rebuilding I decided to make the switch over to a new platform for the 2014 season.. My SR setup was your basic GT2871.64 setup, made great power and absolutely loved it, in a way I am sad to see it go.. http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...69392754_n.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps5d2abe46.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...psdb8327aa.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps400ac6ad.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...01065359_n.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps14257eac.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...31648446_n.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...97151141_n.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps321f93b1.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps5c36db38.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps76532e67.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...psbd902455.jpg So I pulled the SR and began my part out http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps901f3897.jpg I picked up my F Body LS from a good friend, and is already built, but I decided to freshen up a few things before the season starts. http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps9ee88fd0.jpg Engine Specs.

Then I dropped off my headers Gateway Powder coating to be Ceramic Coated and they look great!! (not sure why they look silver in these pics) http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...psz9f4mped.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...pslk1i21jp.jpg Also picked some some MLS Gaskets as well.. http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...psy9713ema.jpg My Wiring Specialties Harness also showed up http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps10871c20.jpg New plugs are wires http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...psrcs48tqa.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...pse01ea497.jpg |
Steam vent routed to upper rad hose. http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps4400c8ae.jpg I bought the adapter from Jagsthatrun.com http://jagsthatrun.com/Pages/Parts_Cooling_LSI-tee.html K&N Filter and Earls fitting in today for my Fuel pressure gauge https://i803.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2194a26c.jpg and the finished intake setup https://i803.photobucket.com/albums/...psc4dba521.jpg and the Sikky corvette fuel filter/regulator kit with the new fitting in place https://i803.photobucket.com/albums/...ps263dee93.jpg Fuel rail http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...psa56e483c.jpg Since I have to unbolt the steering shaft to install the driver's side header, I figured I would replace that bushing as well. Picked up from Forced Fab. http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps2b4618c4.jpg and all done.. http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps39199a62.jpg So I got the sikky fuel kit all hooked up and also put on the new fresh plate welded diff and here's where I finished the day.. http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps24552793.jpg The next day -Both headers are bolted on (PITA) -Wiring Harness is all hooked up -Driveshaft on -fluids filled -Clutch MC connected -connected the P/S I just need to finished up wiring up my electric fans, drop in the radiator, clean everything up and fire her up. http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps3f808dc2.jpg |
very cool! from a fellow St. Louisan/Ls swapper |
Woo! More 240s on here FTW |
another one.... lol, the LS wont dissappoint, until your diff breaks, then you're sad, but then you get happy again when you put another diff in. |
Be careful with those fittings you have on the fuel rail and the regulator, several people had their cars burn down when they popped off. There is a revised version of them with a metal threaded retainer instead of the shitty plastic one. Old Shitty design http://www.pro-touring.com/attachmen...9&d=1363890891 New car won't catch on fire design http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/w...psdae0751d.jpg |
Changing your License plate..lol? or Could just change the meaning to lol i have a v8...or another v8 lol |

You should be able to use the regulator you have currently. Here is a link to the fitting part numbers. They will be the RUSSELL PUSH-ON EFI FITTINGS (SCREW IN END CAP) ones. http://www.russellperformance.com/mc...fuel-efi.shtml |

Well I received the new fuel fittings and put everything together and it fired on the first try. Start up video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEv3JLc916 Fixed a small coolant leak, wired up my E-fans, put on my y-pipe and went for a long drive. http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps429174ba.jpg It is awesome, the MS4 Cam is sooo aggressive, its crazy. Running straight pipe is way too loud for the street, so I had a vibrant muffler welded on, and its much better. http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps6d54f6aa.jpg https://i803.photobucket.com/albums/...psa108b2ed.jpg https://i803.photobucket.com/albums/...ps74f9b6a1.jpg and I am registered for the first DriftSTL event this year on April 6th https://i803.photobucket.com/albums/...pse7c05d82.png Went out and took some pics with some buddies this Friday.. 8 - 6 - 4 http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps189a2d53.jpg and yesterday I finally put on the modded knuckles I also finally put on some PBM Tie rod spacers to help with the extra tie rod length Ill need http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps647d1ba3.jpg I also picked up some High Angle Tension rods http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps06216d40.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...psf5330624.jpg got angle? http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...pse63f6ffd.jpg Im going in for alignment tomorrow, but I can already tell how awesome these knuckles are going to be.. cant wait for April 6th |
any reason you didnt flip the rail around instead of looping all that extra fuel line behind the engine? |

The first event with the LS went awesome. It ran great and I had a blast. The power was instant and the knuckles were worth every penny.. a few pics I found.. http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps7a8ca5fe.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...psfbd059d8.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps4a8ee905.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...pse5bd6e96.jpg http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps79a838af.jpg There is a small event next week and another on June 8th. |
