Just an update.. The car is running good and sounding better.. Im waiting on the slip yoke and then to cut the drive shaft.Anyone have ideas how to make the ls1 PS pump work on the corvette steering ram? And what can i use cheaply for a clutch fluid reservoir?
Thought Id share some pics as of now.
The perfect shifter location

Awaiting the slip yoke and cut drive shaft


ANY ONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THIS IS FOR??



No one every post pics of their daily drive so i thought i would start

 

That's the evap purge solinoid

 

What do I do with it?

 

Hopefully I can do what you are doing some day. Nice build!

 

SamHatco, Just read through your build... wow.. excellent job....

 

My exhaust came it.
4" custom side pipes..



seeing how they fit

lol

 

any one have a way to test the fans. I just ran the car for about 10 minutes and they didnt turn on.

thanks


heres a teaser of the side pipes
(the smoke is off the head burning the coating)

 

Do i need 3 relays to run the 2 ls1 fans? is there any other way? thanks

 

This is the 2000 Camaro fan wiring. the third relay basically cuts the voltage to each fan in half giving you low speed with both fans on. When I do my swap, I'm using this wiring scheme.

 

sent you a PM.

 

i got it thanks.. I followd that wiring ... I think what happen is that i didnt let the car run longer. The ecu has the fans come on at 226 and i dont think it got that hot. i only ran it for like 8-10 minutes. maybe sunday or monday when the exhaust is ready ill drive it around and llet it get hot and see what happens.

 

thanks...its quite a bit of work......very exspensive even if you try to do it on a "budget" lol

 

if there is no request for a/c that is correct. If you have easy access to your ECM go to the ECM connector C2 (the red one), pin 18 (on a 2000 Camaro and on a 2003 Corvette; this is/was a dark green wire) is the A/C status signal input. Apply positive 12 volts to pin 18 and the ECM will think there has been a request for air conditioning. that SHOULD force the fans to come on high speed. If nothing else this is a check to make sure your fan wiring works. I would get a tuner package and reprogram the ECM for lower fan activation.

 

in regards of the pcm grounding the trigger ckt to activate the fan relay....

i just bought a 3 wire coolant temp sensor...took out my old 2 wire...i currently have on my desk the autometer cts and the original ls1 2 wire cts...autometer measures 7k ohms at room temperature...ls1 measures 2k ohms at room temperature...i heated up the ls1 cts with a flame and measured it...100 ohms and getting higher as it cools down...

i'm also having problem triggering my fan relays...not sure if running it long enuff or not...so instead of risking my motor...i'm gonna hook up the removed ls1 2-wire cts to the harness in the car...start the car...and heat up the cts with a flame again...should basically simulate the coolant temp going up and activate the high trigger atleast anyway...i checked my wiring at my fan relay and they are correct cuz i manually put a ground where the pcm suppose to be hooked up and it turned my fans on...the question is the pcm activating the ground or not...this should prove it...atleast on the high side...rather then sitting there and waiting for the motor to hook up...

maybe u can do something similar to test ur pcm...

 

hodge,

do you know what pin and connector it is? (like A of c100 for example or whatever it is). would it be on the connect to the Ac ?

 

Here is a schematic showing the a/c request wire.

 

This is the pin layout of the C2 (red) ECM connector.

 

Its finally coming together. Exhaust is 95% done. Need to bleed the brakes and the clutch and shes read to go.


not the cleanest looking but I did it.







Sounding Good

 

I finally took the first drive today! took it around the block....the open sidepipes sound soo mean..... i did not really rip it up since i still dont have a water temp gauge but its runs good and looks meaner...will take pictures tomorrow after a wash and wa

 

The walk around








My favorite!
