Havent had time to work on this as of late, but hopefully towards the end of the month, beginning of october ill be back to get it bolted on.

 

Cool spawne

 

So time to finally update this thread, told you guys i was working on a solution to fitting the manifold next to the power steering pump without hacking away at the manifold. Went by some visuals already provided by the fast 102 LSXR swap, and my own observations.

So as you can see from the pics, heres the clearance issues we are dealing with...



Now the speed master isnt nearly as large as the LSXR, but you can see our friend here reworked the inlet port for the PS pump with great success. Difference here is, i dont intend on using jbweld.






So, lopped off the outlet of the pump.







and some surgical reattachment, and there you have it. Have to thank my neighbor tom for some fine welding work on the port, hopefully I can have this manifold and LS3 TB swap done soon enough.

 

OK thats one clearance problem out of way or is that last one after the 45 degree fitting and kaltech u guys make it a lot easier for the guys that follow thanks

 

wont know for sure until i get it on there again, this should deal with the clearance issues on the back side of the manifold quite nicely though, aside from that, no other foreseeable problems, just a matter of getting all the parts together. Even if i cant use the factory fuel rail, plenty of other options available to make that an easy fix. Only thing I really need to look at now is where to tap a new port for the MAP sensor on the manifold. But i can put that just about anywhere. Probably just go with the traditional LS2 style location which is right up by the throttle body.

 

I'm in the same boat with the tbss intake, it's pretty much the same as the fast 102 but I refuse to cut into the runner, I'm working on a electric powersteering retrofit now

 

shame the delphi saginaw style pumps dont come with an outlet that works right, they all have the same damn bolt pattern, but ive only see outlets that would wind up hitting the manifold. lol

 

it looks like u could grind that piece of manifold with one of those die grinders and put a piece of sturdy rubber in there but my buddy says he is gonna do it like yours he can weld so ill ask about the kaltech issue that 91 talked about see if he can weld that too and i talked to will he said that 04-07 need adapter harness like u said but 08 just plugs in so happy about that we are starting this weekend while car is getting fixed,then I'm gonna take it over to his garage and pull this manifold and see whats what ill keep driving the grey ghost 05 magnum with 234k on her i had a guy that was gonna buy it the next day i just had it inspected than this happened lol

 

Sucks just turning the nipple on the PS pump and filing a bit of the manifold won't work for you guys like it did for me. We just have a very shitty PS system in the first place.

 

hey spawne are we going with stock fuel rail or aftermarket and if we did which one?there are like 5 of them,thanks

 

I havent mocked mine up yet, you have yours apart though right? Sit the stock fuel rail on the manifold with the injectors and see if the injector spacers will give enough clearance for it, post some pics.

 

yea they will but worried about clearance under hood

 

ill take pics when I'm over there next time and show u where we are,because we are looking where to put sensors-on the side or the top of man

 

oh hood clearance shouldnt be an issue i would think, if parkave can fit a truck manifold under his hood, this one is alot lower.

 

Hood clearnence is not a issue at all with a car intake. I got the tbss to clear with the factory truck fuel rails

 

ok cool ,ill get some pics this weekend

 

speedmaster sells fuel rail kit with braided line,but holley one don't have that what hose do i use if i get holley efi rails?

 

I'm using HolleyEFI rails right now.

 

ok yea spawne said get those too so i will thanks

 

make any progress on this?
