ok well im swapping a 94 z28 lt1 into my 84 corvette. found out i wont be able to run the car unless my VATS is turned off. was looking on ebay and found one of these things and was wondering if this will get rid of the VATS?

Are you modding it? You can disable Vats with a tune.

 

well was thinkin of just puttin 1.6 rockers and maybe a throttle body. tryin to do it the least expensive way possible

 

I wouldn't waste your time/money with one of those. You are probably going to want to remove EGR so you'll have to get a tune anyways. Just have it tuned out when you get a tune. Even if you keep EGR, I recommend getting a basic email tune since LT1's run a little rich from the factory tune.

 

That will provide the necessary "fuel enable" signal to the PCM. Unless the Corvette also has some other key security feature to engage the starter, that is all you should have to worry about.

 

well i just got a switch panel for everything.

 

well motor dont fit. gotta get the lt1 corvette front accesories and stuff. oh and gotta get a lt1 vette water pump too

mine is like this:


and i need it to be like this:

 

Told you so.

I did forget about the water pump though.

 

its alright. no biggie. now i jsut gotta try to find the brackets and stuff.

or ill just cut the K member. haha

 

Don't you have the old motor that came out of the vette? You could just swap everything over.

 

the crossfire motor? think its a complately different setup. dont think itll work

 

Oh ****, lol, I thought this was a vette that was originally equipped with a LT1, I guess I don't know my older vette's that well by looks alone, never checked the year in your sig.

Yeah, I think you'll have to find all the corvette LT1 front accessories.

 

thinkin about just parting the car out or tryin to sell it whole. kinda gettin sick of workin on cars especially ones that are my DD

 

Stay strong man!

 

This might work, I had this bracket at one time, actually owned the prototype red a/c delete bracket shown in the pic:

I'm making my own brackets now because I want a different alternator and power steering pump.

 

yeah man stay strong. my camaros been down a month and im just pouring money into it. but once its done.... ill be Extremely happy.

 

mine has been down 2 years (only driven the car about 2 months the whole time ive owned the car) its on the third motor setup and i dont have anythign else to drive. lost my job and livin off unemployment so yeah.

dunno about spendin $105 on a little bracket like that.

went from this (built up crossfire setup):


to this (built up top end):


to now the LT1:


and bank account at $0

 

You could sell your factory-style a/c delete bracket and put the money towards that $105 bracket kit. What I'm thinking is that bracket will be a lot cheaper than buying LT1-corvette brackets, corvette accessories, corvette power steering hoses, corvette power steering reservoir, and corvette pulley. You also get a new belt with that bracket which probably is worth $20.

 

yeah im thinkin about it right now. im jsut really not sure if itll work too. i dont have much room in that little area for things. i know that delete pulle yis a little higher then the other one but dunno if itll be high enough. guess ill have to wait for my next unemployment check haha.

 

what happened to the old motor/set-ups? If they are not sold yet...Cha-Ching! Finished LT1 :-D
