looking good! anymore progress?

glad you asked


well I picked up more wire and got the last of my tank mounts finished up, cut the frame for the filler tube, got the rest of the battery relocating stuff, and relocated the charcoal canister. also cleaned, primed, and painted the inner fenders to match the firewall. before I put the front end together I will be painting everything in the engine bay to match the firewall.



I also got news today that my wiring will be here on wednesday!



and on to the pics, the tank sits nice and high but still clears the bed without cutting any of the supports.













more updates to come this weekend!

put my walbro 255 in the tank today and extended the wiring for it.

ordered a wideband today and 85mm maf, only to find out I already had an 85mm maf in my spare parts box. oh well i'll just use one for now and port out the other I guess.

now to try and find a good deal on hp tuners pro...

long overdue update



well school started and she isn't running yet. so close but so far



Hooked up the walbro into my stock sending unit, I ran the fuel lines to the filter, still need to run the last line to the engine.







and now to announce change number 793



I got another new intake! My buddy had an issue with it and was pressed for time so I swapped him my ls6 intake for this baby. I dont have any pictures of it when I first got it, the first thing I did was clean it up and paint it the same color as the last 2 I had.







then instead of getting the 85mm tb I ported the intake out to a 90mm and picked up a bluemaxxx 90mm. there are more wet kit options and it should be worth a few ponies.









more to come soon, hopefully...

is that a professional products intake? Does it use paper gaskets to seat to the heads? If so, they're notorious for vacuum leaks. Make sure everything seats up correctly since the mating surfaces have trouble aligning. Silicone may be your only hope of getting no intake vacuum leaks if its a PP intake.

[Lsx10]

yup it is, and I was planning on using high temp rtv to seal it.

[Lsx10]

Well I'm not going to update you guys with everything because my camera died, but I have still have some good stuff for you guys.



I had to pull the heads back off to lap the valves in. that sucked...



but I got the valves all sealed up. got the heads back on, got the headers back on, dipsticks in, intake and throttle body on, rails and injectors in. wiring done, and most of the front end done with.











my coils didn't fit so I took a grinder and a welder to the brackets and they fit great now. these will fit over the injectors between the rails and the valve covers. i'll be cleaning them up tomorrow before they are put on.







also cleaned up and brushed my abs unit.









like I said I have some more, i'll update more when I get some time between work and school. this thing would be done if it were not for school...

[Lsx10]

small update for you guys, was busy with house stuff most the weekend, but I got some stuff done and inching closer to being done.



coil brackets on and wired, still need to grab some spark plug wires.







got my bed on and the filler neck fabbed up, had some 2 inch exhaust pipe bent up for me, then I welded on the top of the stock filler neck so the cap works, and weled on the small vent hose. Its functional but not done, i'm going to bend up aluminum sheet to make a nice cover for that ugly hole.













I got the core support on but no pics, I need to go make a junkyard run and grab a few things at the parts store, i'll have another update in the next few days.
