Fuel pump in place. Now even filter/regulator. Homemade billet pump holder. Band saw and lots of aluminum.
Do F-bodies with LS1 have vacuum regulated regulator? Corvettes dont have I think.




Relocated generator and power steering pump.
Took me weeks to complete this setup.....

 

Now Im here.... Wires all over. But I do think Im comin though this. I have learned a lot this past weeks. I didnt know anything about wiring before. But now I had to learn. My car - My responsability!

 

No, F bodies have returnless rails. Only '97 and '98 Corvettes had vacuum regulated fuel pressure regulators, they're the only LS1 fuel rails with a return.

 

Yea but i mean returnless rails but vacuum to the rehulator anyway.
How does it regulate the pressure if the pump dont meet the spec exactly? Like my 044 style pump?

 

What kind of regulator are you using? Most just regulate it to a set pressure. If you're using a corvette filter/regulator its set at 58 psi, provided your pump can put out that much.

 

Yes, this pump is at 6 bar/ 87 psi. So this stock/after market regulator (from speedwaymotors) can handle much higher pressure? Thats good in this case. But I have another regulator too. An allround type a thing. But I dont trust those very much. And double regulators are never good.
But Im gonna try to find guage to monitor the pressure.

 

In the schematic diagram, there are a lot of shorts for different words.
For example ALC HCLP relay. Whats that?
Where can I find a dictionary that explains all these shorts?

And I even need a diagram for the european models, because its different in the turn ligt area.
We use orange turn light, means the turn light signal is splitted from park/stop light. And we dont use cornering lights.
In the american models the hazard involveboth turn light and stop light. Means it have to exclude stop light when its on.
I would be interested in to take a look at the diagram for the european model to see the difference.

 

Think I have to tickle peoples emotions a little with a photo.

This is how its gonna look.

 

How do I check the ammount of trans fluid in a 4L60E corvette C5? Can I see it when I connect a computer with a logging software?

 

The car is looking good. I always wanted to make an updated 34 like this, and even made a model of it many years ago.

Here are some automotive abbreviations;

but they aren't complete.

Perhaps ask in the computer section;

Aaahhh... Now I know!
"For example ALC HCLP relay. Whats that?"

In my cadillac it would stand for Automatic Level Control, I think.

But here would be Automatic Lamp Control. Its just a guess, but I think it is.

 

Gets kinda low.....



Heres a setup im gonna use. Very very tight everywere. Even the hoses to the more or less remanufactured radiator put out problems.

 

Very cool build. I'm very interested in seeing your finished project.

 

Wow looking good! That's one hell of a project

 

Thanks. Well, it will take at least one more year I think.
I soon gonna strip the frame and powder coat it. But there are a loooot of work to be done.

 

A lot of no updates here for a while....

Been doin some fiberglass work. And the hood got very stable.

Heres a before and after photo of the hood against the grille shell.

And then its the doors. I think this is the most complicated job on the whole project. But now I think the construction is in the clear.
I had to remanufacture my hinges, because the doors were leaning down too much when opened. So I moved them up and made a different design. Works perfect now.

 

Some head ache here....
Malfunktion Indicator Lamp, in some cars SES, Service Engine Soon.
Comes from PCM and I have the brown/white wire and its maked up. I know tje lamp shall have power via a 10 ampere fuse. My problem is I dont understand solid state! I cant find it in diagram wjhat it is.
My question is now, can I just connect the lamp between 12 volt and MIL CTRL in PCM and have SES funktion?

(-99 to -2004 corvette)

 

Awesome build Your skills are amazing.

This is the guy you want to chase down, he is the C5 electrical wizard.

Thanks!
Very good thread here! Im gonna whrite him a mail! Thanks

 

On most GM diagrams where you see solid state it just means "magic happens" in this case inside the instrument cluster. Yes you can wire the MIL as you described.
