FML. I just bought my FAST 102 Intake/TB/100mm MAF, and the EWP.. This is going to suck.

 

Don't be scared man. Keep us updated.

 

Not scared, just not very excited that you spend over 1k just for parts that won't cooperate with each other. I don't want to grind on the polished water pump but if I have to I will. We'll see!

 

I hear ya.

What I meant was some people spend that much money and won't admit if/when they have problem.

What T/B you going with?

 

I am going to be installing the FAST 102 Manifold/102mm Throttle Body Combo

 

^ My buddy had to grind at his TB "cam" to clear the EWP on an LS6 intake and stock TB. We'll see how that works out.

And they're not called "Modifications" for nothing. hink of what some guys go through just to install headers. Griding or cutting at the block. I had to cut my block for the LS6 PCV. The car did NOT want to be ground or cut on. It ate two dremels.

I take it you're in Iraq? My buddy is almost at the end of his 1 yr over there. In Camp Taji I think, working with IASF.

 

I used an LS2 waterpump on my LS1 and the TB cleared, no grinding was needed. There are a few different LS2 pumps, the one i used has the same pulley on the front as the LS1.

 

Hmmmm. I'll have to look into that one. See if I can find a used one on here. I figured I'd rather grind at a $100 WP than the intake.

 

Right now my engine is on the stand waiting to be installed. Has everyone had problems with the fast intake bolts coming loose? Mine is a fresh build and everything was clean but if the fast bolts are a problem I would rather change them now than have to do it in the car. I wonder if the problem is because they are stainless and expansion rates on the aluminum head and bolts are different.

 

yeah that would be my guess or the contact friction between the two parts are less, making them easier to come lose...I will be using my stock bolts on mine...

 

^ A couple of posts up the guy was saying his came loose. He went back to his stock bolts too.

 

Do you remember what make/model the pump was for?

 

^ Should just come up under an 06 GTO LS2 car.

 

You guys with the long FAST bolts coming loose....are you torquing them to Comp's spec's out of curiosity??

Crewchief....you may have zero clearance issues with the Meziere electric pump.....dont get to frantic about it. At the end of the day this is what you have to do to pull the Mustang in the next lane by a car or two instead of looking at his black out effect tail lamp kit!

I would rather be grinding on my water pump....

Tony, I used comp's specs on mine. I am not sure what the factory specs are. Have you personally seen the bolts coming loose or have you had good luck with the fast bolts.
Thanks for any insight.

 

Tony, are my heads almost ready? lol. I gotta get you my 102 to port as well.

 

As Bayer said, LS2 06 GTO, just make sure it has the same cone shaped pulley

 

Yep I am still in Iraq. I am over here at Balad and just turning some F-16's... Waiting to drive my car again! I can't wait to finish this build. We'll see

 

Very true Tony. I would never sacrifice performance for looks. Not even a chance. By the way Tony if you wanted to see what that Fast 102 of mine that your porting is going on this is the build thread and list. Check it out!

Good deal.. I was a 6yr SSgt CES/RED HORSE pavements in Bagram from 05-06. 6 months on TOP of a month in training and a month in transit. Bought a transmission from T56 Rebuilds, clutch, susp, wheels and tires for the car when I got back. And a 95 F150, IIRC. Got MEB'd in 08. I miss it bad.
