  1. I'm pulling my motor soon to get some of the adapters copied and I've been debating on doing the same. Almost have all my stuff together for a rear mount turbo setup If you have any other questions i'll be glad to help in anyway I can!
  2. I don't have any from the car itself but I can explain what I did. Trans Dapt #4501 The way the motor sits in the bay it lined up almost perfect so I ended up cutting about half the material off the feet and I welded them directly to the subframe. Here is the best picture I could dig up that shows how close it was.
  3. @Drift Gorilla: If you use ones from a C6 it's pretty easy to route the downpipe down past the steering knuckle. Sorry it took me so long to respond!
  4. It's an adapter plate and flywheel spacer. You can see a rough wooden version of what my finished plate looked like it the pics. Adapter plate (some bolts are counter sunk) modified LS1 flywheel with 300zx ring gear holes drilled to fit both NA and TT clutches (just have to move dowels) Custom M11 bolts flywheel spacer pressed into flywheel, the pilot bushing is pressed in the spacer The way the transmission sits you have to massage the passenger starter pocket a little, on the inside you have small area that has to be cut and shaped to fit on the tunnel. I never thought to take pictures of it while the engine/transmission were still out of the car.
  5. It drives! Having some trouble bleeding the brakes and need a permanent solution on routing the steamtube. With an exhaust I can start tuning! I wish I could help on the T56 but I kept the stock TT tranny.
  6. For the flywheel you will need the ring gear from the Z32 and have a LS1 flywheel turned down for it to fit. With it like this you use a clutch for an NA or TT, mine is drilled for both all I have to do is have the dowels moved. (my ring gear came from a TT flywheel)
  7. Things you need: adapter plate + bolts flywheel spacer custom machined flywheel bolts (M11, blah) shifter bracket + shorter linkage mounts (plenty of universal kits to weld yourself) top of the core support and part of the hood will have to be cut if you use the stock radiator radiator hoses electric fan moroso oil pan + pickup windage tray (for pan) oil filter relocation kit (moroso pan requires it) custom headers or C6 LS2 stock cast ones C5 alt/bracket/water pump, I think a Trail Blazer SS pump with the slim pulley will work too, or a similar setup that sits close to the block correct sized belt You may have to cut the trans tunnel and rebox an area 8cm x 16cm rewire harness to work with stock Z stuff, bypass fuel pump controller shorten driveshaft (I have a 2 + 2, can't remember off the top of my head how much I had it shortened) rework stock transmission mount custom midpipes cat backs should bolt right up vette fuel filter/regulator odds and ends (misc bolts, vac caps, etc)
  8. If you look in some of the other pics I cut the hood latch portion out of the core support and notched on either side so I could lean the radiator forward around 2 inches. If I could go back I think that an aftermarket NA radiator would have cleared better. As for the hood itself I had to cut the catch for the hood latch and had to notch the webbing so the radiator clears. I plan on using hood pins so this wasn't a big deal. As for power, I've got it setup as speed density/open loop. My current goal is to get it back on the road and get it tuned and reliable and then begin upgrading the motor. In the vid it's open headers in all their goodness. Right now the set up is: Stock 2002 LQ4 98 LS1 intake manifold 28lb injectors (came with the manifold but slightly larger than the truck injectors) Stock C6 Corvette headers Exhaust shop 2.5" midpipes to a modified HKS Hi-Power that has been made to fit the 2+2 It's about as stock as I can get it and should set a pretty good baseline.
  9. Driving soon, just need front brakes.
  10. Haven't done a whole lot these past few weeks, one more week of school and I'll have some free time on my hands to get this thing finished. I am on the hunt for the white body plug that came off of the VG engine harness so I can finally get the harness done and hook efi live in and start fiddling with it.
  11. Here's where I am at with the engine. I'm getting down to the details and it's driving me nuts! PS - sorry for the phone pics, was more convenient this time. Hoping to get out to the shop after work tomorrow and Saturday night and at least get the wiring done so I can hook EFI live up and start messing around with it and to make sure the pump primes/fan control works etc. The first month out of the house I'm hoping to get my alternator, belt, and tensioner. Grabbing 2 catch cans on ebay to fix up my pcv setup as well. I mounted the seat, used the stock passenger side slider on it (if you have one or know of one cheap I would love to pick it up so I can get a passenger seat mounted as well) I have a pillar pod for the water temp, oil temp, and oil pressure guages but I'm just not that big of a fan. I figure they look a little more subdued down in the console. FINALLY had the pipe cutter come in to do the drive shaft...this thing is massive. $35 shipped on Ebay ftw, wish I could afford a bandsaw but it should get the job done. Going to mount Turners vice to the workbench temporarily so I can get it cut/shortened soon. The only DS shop in town closed so I figure I will cut it down myself and just find someone to weld it up and either balance it or I'll balance it with hose clamps. http://www.fordmuscleforums.com/transmission-articles/493751-how-shorten-your-driveshaft.html Junk yard score, 5 pin maf connector and the red/blue ecu connectors full of pins. Those things are like $0.80ea if you buy them from AC Delco (screw that!) MB Weapons 17x9 +17mm offset thanks to a good friend:
  12. I've started going back to college and working full time. I apologize for the lack of updates! This is from my local forum: I used the Xcessive shifter kit (for putting a Z32 transmission into a S13) and it is perfect for where I was wanting my shifter. The only cutting I had to do was for a little bit on the driverside tunnel. The car is almost done! Finishing the wiring this weekend I'm hoping. I have the interior back in and my seat mounted on the stock passenger slider. I still need to take care of the pcv system and vacuum stuff. I was going to get the driveshaft shortened this week but found out the one place we had in town is closed. I picked a pipe cutter up off ebay and plan on shortening it myself now. Like this: http://www.fordmuscleforums.com/transmission-articles/493751-how-shorten-your-driveshaft.html I am going to wire the stock alternator from the VG and make it fit the C5 bracket for the time being. What I lack to start: Charging/Transmission harness finishing engine wiring (90% done) shorten driveshaft pcv system vacuum routing cleanup hoses for oil filter relocation mount alt/tensioner/belt tq harmonic balacer bolt fluids I'll post updated pictures after the weekend!
  13. Yea, it seems like it is going to make my fuel setup pretty simple. My plans are to bypass the stock TT fuel pump controller and just run it on high (if I have to I may make a trip to radio shack and build a box that will let me change the flow of the pump with the flip of a switch for the time being) I've been a little busy this weekend with IA coming to Nashville but I got out and did some work on the Z on Sunday. Mounted the fan on the front of the radiator (having to go pusher so I can even fit a fan on) I know I mentioned it before, but I didn't really have any good pictures to show what I cut out of the core support to lean the radiator forward. Here is a pretty good shot showing the clearance I have with the radiator (keep in mind I plan on using the Corvette balancer): I'm not great with fab and definitely don't have the tools for it but I get by pretty good with my grinder and flux core welder I suppose. I fabbed a throttle cable bracket so I can reuse the stock Z cable. It's really simple (two small pieces of angle iron and some extra bolts from the Z) I had to drill two holes in the manifold and cut some of the plastic out so I could get the heads of the bolts to fit. And I figured I would save this, a little bit better money shot: I'm hoping that I can get out and get my transmission mount and shifter stuff hammered out over the weekend as well as trying to finish moving the bay wiring back out of the way. Work doesn't leave me a whole lot of free time. My girlfriend jokes that the car is my second gf and sometimes gets more attention than she does.
  14. I've actually been looking for info on my rear end. This helps out a ton. I've been toying with the idea of rolling with a higher final drive instead of the 4.083 I have I just can't find any information on what will swap over from the plethora of r200's out there.
  15. http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=results/Category_ID=287/home_id=59/mode=cat/cat287.htm I don't know if you have seen it but this will let you match the signal for your speedo and tach, the 240 guys use this stuff if i'm not mistaken. I'll be a guinea pig for those 66's. I think the way I have my engine mounted I could make them squeeze in the front of the bay.
