Well, lastnight on my way home it appears i spit out the seal on the oil filter and puked out my oil. Parked it, still unaware. Started it to go to subway and didnt seam to want to turn over very well. Thought it was acting a little funny so i blipped the throttle a touch and heard a faint kbock so i killed it and pulled the dipstick. There was a one flake of bearing on the tip and No oil. So i was like wtf! I just checked it this morning!! Looked under it and sure enough the whole enderside is coated. Never smelled any oil , no lightsas a warning. Nothing.
I picked up a 60,000 LS2 out of an 05, with arp rod bolts for $900. Picking it up sunday,
I know im going to need the reluctor wheel converter box, and the wiring is different. What all will i need and what are the best places to find it? I have been searching all morning and found alot of questions, but really no answers. Plus it sucks from my Galaxy Ace
Yes thank you !!! I appreciate your help! Im still having a problem with it but im working around it. After a tune is uploaded it keeps failing again if you try another, then I have to unplug the batt and let it sit. Sucks :/
Mechanically the engine is great, had some bad injector info I had to redo last night for my #42 injectors. Carrying 45lbs of oil pressure at idle, came up to temp and sat at 205* etc. Im on my 3rd oil change, and will be able to get a vid/ drive it when my diff gets here!
I like what I see. It's making me think about all the possibilities I'll have when it's time for a new engine in mine... Which may be sooner than I expect. I'm about to hit 81K miles on a stock oil pump. I get the feeling that it's gonna be a time bomb if I don't get a cam (and new oil pump while I'm in there) within a certain amount of time... But hey, if it blows, I think I'll just get a cast iron 408, slap a power adder in, and boost it to the moon.
Yessir battery is fully charged and has the Charger on it. Front ground on the passenger head is good, main ground on the A/C compressor bolt is secure, ground on the rear of driver head is good aswell. It hasn't done it to me yet today, so wish me luck.
Ya so I feel like a full blown raTARD. I spent the last three hours trying to tune in the idle. Car went from pich rich 10.0 AFR to lik 18.0 and I could not for the life of me get it even remotely close to 14.5 ish. Spent HOURS trying to get it there, every change I seamed to make mad 0 difference and then bam it would be dumping horrid exhaust fumes, or barley run because it was so lean. WTF!!! Well, turns out open headers+wideband/02`s about 2" away from the end of the open collector = Im an idiot. SMH
Slap the diff in and drive it! Ill be driving it tonight Gotta pick up fluid and such and then slap it in, bolt up the drive shaft and go drive!!! Cant wait, Hopefully my new adjustable koni fronts will be here before the weekend!
I wish I could drive mine. The biggest setback for me is that the car is in Delaware and I am not, so I have to work on it on the weekends. No coming home and wrenching on it after work.
