We are also sporting a new BeCool radiator and Edelbrock waterpump for extra cooling since the intercooler is now in the way. I still have to install the BOV, SC oil and replace allll those shitty hoseclamps with some turbo ones. The ones ATI gave us suck and they slip. I also need to repostion the fans so they dont hit the rad, come up with a way so the upper hose doesnt hit the belt, and reinstall our remote tranny filter housing since it was in the way of the IC before. Once we get that, we got 2 step colder plugs and have to get 2 bungs welded in. One for the other banks 4 wire 02 and one in the Y for a WB

LS1 OS??? tell me more about that..
i mean, if you have a 24x crank trigger and a cam sensor, i could see it as being possible, but you're not using the coilpacks...?

They are using the ecm from a chevy express van that has odb2 and uses a distributor along with the cam sensor. There is a big thread on TGO in the TPI section about it. Im sure Matt can chime in and give you more info.

The car runs off a 411 ECM and 01 and up LS motors. We have to run a single roller timing chain, then crank reluctor ring, a 96 and up Vortec plastic timing cover case with crank sensor. Have to have balancer shout machine down about an 8th Up top we use a 96 and up vortec dis crab style which utilizes a cam sensor, vortec ign coil and module which recognizes the 411 and a 4 wire 02 in each bank. Its very nice now because we can tune we EFILive on the fly. Custom Harness was made for both our cars. We got the idea from an 01 Express Vin R

Accually when we hooked up EFILive it came up as my PCM was from a 02 Z28 and Erins was from a 01 2500HD

Once we get the 02 in, plugs, oil change and fire it up we'll give a report how it sounds as we really cant drive do to salt and snow booooooo. When I got a dis for my car I went with the only aftermarket one available which was the accel billetech , but when we got erins used I was surprised the whole damn shaft was plastic!!

Nice!!! I think it's safe to say Erin will have the quickest 3rd Gen of the locals who frequent here, unless Nick finishes his IROC. What's next? A 12 bolt or 9 inch?

Don't look at me, I don't ever plan on having that car back on the road again.

You bought a Nissan? :poke: How did you get this one done so quickly when it took you at least 2 years to get that far on the convertible?

It didn't take that long on the vert. The vert has been sitting with all that done for 2years. I was procrastinating on the mini tubbs on the vert. and what motor to put in it. Im still debating on the 400 or a 350 I have or sellin it all and buyin a LQ9.
