Re: Budget LS swap 6spd RWD Z26 project.

What year Camaro? The name plate was dead during the LS2's reign. 98-02 were LS1 and the 2010 started with the LS3. The LS2 was only in GTO and Corvette unless it was swapped. If it was from a 98-02 car the whole drivetrain is damn near a bolt-in for 3rd gen. I hate the DBW. It just feels disconnec...

Re: Need 3.1 engine for 92 Beretta

I can't help directly, but I would suggest that unless your engine was in poor condition before the head went bad, if you can't replace the engine yourself (needs quite a bit of tools/equipment to do it, particularly an engine-hoist, torque-wrench, space to work, and time), you may actually be bette...

Re: Budget LS swap 6spd RWD Z26 project.

Very interesting! I had almost forgotten about the aluminum-block truck engines, they just weren't that common. Last month I strongly considered buying a wrecked SS Camaro with a good ̶L̶S̶2̶̶ [EDIT:] LS3/6-speed setup, priced low enough to make it worth-while just for the drive-train. I decided I h...

Re: WANTED, GTU/Indy Wheels, Dead or Alive

:Bravo: Got 'em! A little pricier than I was hoping for overall, but not bad for the current availability and overall economy we have now. Three even came with center-caps and screws, and they are all GTU 'grey', so I don't have to worry about repainting if I don't want to. White inserts might look ...

Re: The Oil Catch Can

I saw you both mentioned PCV being on the rear valve covers...must be an MPFI thing. Both my SFI engines had the PCV on the front side. As I recall $A1 mask, the EGR has a table with injector base pulse width vs % to compensate for the lack of oxygen in the air charge with active EGR, but I don't r...

Re: WANTED, GTU/Indy Wheels, Dead or Alive

Searchtempest is a new one on me -I'll try that. I THINK I have a solid lead on a partial-set. A bit spendy though due to shipping, but such is the price to be paid for the pleasure of living far away from annoying neighbors out here on the moon... :D The last time I had a lead on GTU wheels I could...

Thank you 90INDYLIN , I do already have some 'feelers' out there for them through that source, and I will update if that pans-out for me, the fact that I don't care if the wheels are 'pretty' may help me there... :D There are some overpriced options through ebay too, but I can't bring myself to pay ...

NOT looking for the assorted common comments of, "Good luck with that, you will never find them..." or, "I used to have a set, gave them away for 5-cents and a stick of chewing-gum 400 years ago..." and other $#it-talk like that. :) Nothing useful to contribute here, please save ...

Re: The Oil Catch Can

Hmm, great topic! :friends: I have run filters before, never a.. bad result... But haven't bothered with a catch-can... I should. The rear (PCV side) is basically the engine-case's 'outlet' side when the engine is running at higher vacuum, such as idle, and engine vacuum will draw through the filter...

Re: 5 speed swap

I had a write-up back on bstuff waaay back when, though there were a few differences as the conversion was going into the GTU with the 3800SC swap. Partly depends on which variant of the 5-speed you are going with. Oldest ones used an enclosed jackshaft and both CV axles were the same, left and righ...

Re: Custom engraved 3400 UIM for turbo 3400

The NICO (Nissan/Infinity) forum seemed decent back when I had checked it out years ago relating to my 300ZX/VH45DE project, but I just didn't get that involved, and stayed away from all the 240SX/KA-series discussions that A) -didn't relate to me and, B) -I suspected would attract more of the young...

Re: Custom engraved 3400 UIM for turbo 3400

Do whatever with you want with emblems IMO. I mean, I had a fake "SS" and I'm making a new "T56" decal in the Z26 style soon...bad paint or not. Yep. I am too far away from 'stock' on most of my vehicles to ever gain the title of 'purist'. One of the reasons I still visit the Fo...

Re: The Derretta, 1994 base with some attitude.

pulled the trans to start a 5 speed swap over this winter. Swapping in a Getrag 282! YES!! Now it will be a real car! Haha. :wink: Still like that car of yours, every time I see it there is something 'fresh' about the looks, yet familiar too. I guess that is what makes the car's styling (and the de...
