Unless you are swapping the 4th gen dash in there is really no need to go through all the extra work to use the 4th gen components for minimal benefits, esp the gastank

 

yeah. everything but the dash should bolt right up.

 

You mean the Steering Column..yours has the Dash..

 

explain???

 

^^This post right here..
Are you referring to the Dash Pad?

 

No, the whole 4th gen dash

The interior wiring is useless without the dash too

 

I think you may run into some issues with the plates if you're using the stock a/c location. some people run tubular k-members for more clearance, others modify their stock k-member, and some use new mounting spots for the A/C Compressor.

 

im buyinb a spohn tubular kmember, a-arms, and coilovers. so i should have the room

 

I wish I could afford a tubular setup but alas, we're going budget on this build. stock it is!

 

income tax refund is our friend!

 

Ummm....I think you mean the income tax refund is your friend.

As long as you don't mind giving a 12+ month interest-free loan to Uncle Sam.

Tipsy

 

yeah. that has been corrected. bought fuel rails and cant decide if i want the hsw or nitrous outlet 90mm nitrous kit

 

Same, I have to make my own go fast parts

 

hey, if it says anything, your electrical postings on thirdgen have been some of the inspiration I've needed to get my show on the road. I know it doesn't help ya go faster, but you're time's not been wasted.

 

I understand that..but you have the 4th Gen Dash bolted up in your pics..and now you are sayin that it doesn't go in..

 

would you please PM me on the entire build..what parts you used and from where? i know its a lot of effort..perhapse an email would be better? you can reach me at
whiteknight91rs@yahoo.com if i manage to get my formula sold i am going to get after another 3rd gen..i want the 4th gen dash tho..everybody tells me not to waste my time and i am not the most electrically inclined person..wrenchin is easy..electric not so much..
thanks again for any and all help...i want to do the homework AHEAD of time..

 

definitely check out the LTx/LSx swap section on thirdgen. Lots of guys (myself included) doing this swap. Everyone's going a little different, but tons of info between here and TGO

 

The dash swap is well covered too

shr00m is the only one I know of that used 4th gen EVERYTHING in the swap

 

Nice build, did you dyno it on the turbo??

 

yes, made this on 9lbs and 16 degrees of timing. went from 15 to 16 and gained 31 rwhp on an unlocked auto.
