the guy who made the line said you have to make sure the cruve to the drain is a long curve, the sharper the curve the more chance of braking the hose.
but my main problem i think is going to be my heater core..
i think its leaking? but its only a little leak if one at all, i thought it was condinsation forming and dripping because the liquid is clear, but not sure.

Holy amount of RTV on oilpan batman. Think you put a thick enough bead on there.

Sentry

Yeah, that oil drail hose is a little long. Gravity is not going to carry that oil down and back up over that hump. Like he said, it's probably just how the picture looks, but it needs to be as vertical as possible. You don't have to make a 90 degree curve with it, but just make sure it doesn't run uphill like that.

All you have to do is cut it with a saw and shorten it. Tap looks nice and professional though!

pykie

yea i might just have to see how it goes.

and thanks about the tap

lol thats one thing i DONT want to leak lol

So what are you doing for brakes once youve got all this power?? Shame on you for hanging the caliper from the hose. Ever hear of a garden hose and Spray Nine?

pykie

a buddy of mine has a set of cross drilled and slotted ones for me.
i wanna lose the rear drums, but i dunno if theres a site or anything that you can buy them

MySSisFaster

As much of an ass as he is, 06Black is one of the smartest guys on this forum. And trust me, he isn't one to be giving information out for the hell of it. If he says something you should usually take it for what it's worth.

pykie

yea i know what he means but when i got the clamp in MAF Adaptor and it was 3.5" i felt that a step up from the 2.5-3.5 would be to big so i ran the 3" on the cold side, with will be better for not sense, i would say 4 months from now i will have a bigger turbo under there

pykie

Well started the exhaust today, and boy oh boy was that ever a job!
had to do some fancy **** i can tell you that!
and the cat was to big to moutn the way i wanted so thats sideways now lol.
no i was just wondering if anyone can tell me what happens if i run the car with out the rear o2 sensor?

it'll run fine for a while then it'll throw a **** load of cels

but she'll still run

ur car will run fine, u will throw 3 codes, and those same 3 will be pending aswell, for a total of 6, i know, im not running a second o2 on my car, been that way for about 15k, no issues, just a noying CEL light, im sure vince can turn those codes of permanantly

copson20

just get it tuned out. i ran with out mine for a day and i got two codes heat circuit bad and the fancy PO420 code

Sentry

Yeah, the rear o2 is just for efficiency, it controls no aspect of the mixture. You can get Vince to totally remove it, no more cel light.

Like everyone else already said, whatever tuning software your using can be used to turn it off. If it's vince who's doing it he'll know which ones

Jn2

iTrader: (1)

He'll need to which codes to turn off, his logger gas a code scanner, so write down I'm sure he'll make them history

pykie

im buying the LS2 edit, so that will work right?

06_ion2

yes it will work with the 07's

Sentry

Don't buy it dude unless you know how to tune. If you bring that to a dyno tuning place they're still going to charge you. The whole point in going to get dyno tuned is so that you don't have to buy the program, you can just go and let them tune you. Find some place that tunes corvettes, they have ls2edit.

pykie

no one around here tunes the vetts that i know of.
i called Dyno Dave, JD Racing, SAS Dyno, and my buddy, and they all say they dont have it, so i got to buy it.

and onto todays update.
well my brother is at work and he tack welded my down pipe last night as we made it, so i thought humm i will go and temp welding, i read a little thing on the internet "how to weld for dumbies" so i kinda had an idea on what to do, so yea i started to weld and by god it was a horrible job, then i remembered they said try to keep conntact to the peice your welding, cause i was pretty much welding ***** lol. so yea once i got that down pack i did ok.

please remember 1st time EVER WELDING!!





While i was doing that i remember my twin bar sub frame baf is in my trunk and was rusty sense it was onmy car last winter and seen the salt so i thought i would grind that down and re paint it.




Whats Left:
Finish the Exhaust
Run the hose from wastegate to boost controller then to the nipple or charge pipe
start charge pipe
Run hose from BOV to intake
Run hoses to my boost/vacuum gauge.
Fix Body kit and re paint it.

Blackout06LS

Nice build going there man. Reminds me of my first time welding. Make sure you check for leaks before putting on your car though. MIG welding right? I hope.

btw- Your shop is like the exact same size and built as mine.

pykie

My shop?
oh you mean my self storage place lol

Blackout06LS

It's a storage unit? DAMN did not know they allowed that kind of stuff to go on there.

My actual shop is not that big. Enough to have one car in tucked on the side wall and walk around.

pykie

lol your not aloud to work on your car in them lol
they dont know :P
but some how they found out i was peeing in a cup and pouring it out... kinda lost onhow they find that out but not knowing i had a motor tore apart, welding and grinding in it lol

Blackout06LS

Sentry

Not do be a dick, but what the **** is up with that 90* elbow from the turbo. LOL.

I suggest you redoing that, and make it curve. That's going to cause a lot of backpressure from the inefficiency of air flow. I mean, it's probably better than I could ever do, but man either fix that or take it to a shop and let them help you finish it.

Also, what is your wastegate set at? I doubt very seriously you need a boost controller at this point.
