  1. if you use the c5 unit, the bypass return line goes away in that diagram from the motor, as does the regulator. It would go between the EFI pump and the Y block (if you use the Y block), otherwise stock fuel rails have feed on 1 side, and no return. Instead of 2 90* fittings going to the fuel pressure regulator, you would have block off plates/plugs at the end of the fuel rail. The return line would be run from the C5 filter to the gas tank
  2. OK, I'll try to answer in ballpark figures you'll need to know... there are approximates and rounded numbers, which will also compensate for misc parts you'll need to find along the way average price of LS1/t56 combo with low miles - $4500 JCI install kit + headers + driveshaft -$800 Belts, pulleys, hoses - $200 JTR radiator, vent T, and intake ducting kit - $450 custom welded exhaust, let's assume dual with X pipe, all parts provided by exhaust shop - $700 R200 diff, mustache bar - $100 If you're doing the harness yourself, you're saving a nice chunk. ECU reprogramming - $200 (vats, egr, o2 sensors, smog, speed governor) Assuming you'll use a stock tank, you'll need a weld in AN adapter plate. Boiling tank, welding it on, cost of part, recoating/repainting - $300. Or you can get a camaro gas tank w/ pump (ie. i'm selling mine for $225). Fuel lines, adapters, corvette pressure filter modification - $150. Taurus 2 speed fan - $75 So far, this is at $7425. Not counting suspension, brakes, etc if you are planning on doing those. In my case, I bought a running '02 camaro with 26,000 miles that was poorly damaged for $4700, stripped it, sold $800 worth of parts from it so far. So my LS1 (with LS6 intake manifold for that year) cost me $3900. I had most of the stuff already from over the years. I still have some camaro parts to sell off, basically if I get a grand for the parts, my motor/trans cost me $3700, and I'm happy with that number. If you look at 240zprace's post about dyno numbers, he dynoed 346 STOCK to the wheels. only thing about his car was an ECU cleanup/tune. Don't forget that you lose the power steering, AC, smog stuff, exhaust restriction (camaros had 2 catalytic converters, really poorly designed exhaust, see pic below... you can see the flat Y pipe on one side) This is why when people upgrade to true dual exhaust on fbodies, they see enormous power gains.
  3. OK, who replaced John behind they keyboard with a less grammatically correct version?
  4. sounds like this: http://www.datsunracing.com/other/ls1240z.avi and I think I found the exhaust setup I want to use. That one.
  5. Today I prepped the chassis for LS1 swap. Didn't have time to drop the motor in, but basically prepped everything else. redrilled and installed a new crossmember (old one was too modified to be used). Trimmed the old AC bracket location, attached the pass side mount. My question about JCI's bolts that John sends... half of them are grade 5, not 8. Some are grade 6. Couple are grade 2? Also, the transmission mount is held by 2 bolts on each side - I'm thinking of drilling 2 extra holes on each side to have 4 bolts support it (I understand it's based on surface area, since it's 2 plates top and bottom holding it in) Next weekend if time allows, the LS1 will go in for a trial fit. (and yes, I know the spacer's missing in the DS mount )
  6. I sold my bike to a newbie who has just taken MSF.... I felt bad about it for a second, right up until the money was in my hands
  7. Hey man, thanks for letting me bother you with all the questions at the meet yesterday. I appreciate the help! (expect more bothering in the future!)
  8. and on a totally random note, I ran into NESS89 at napa today. small world
  9. What happens when someone sells a bumber or a labtop?
  10. hahahaha oh man, that's ... i'm saving this for future use
  11. my rogue's combat/dagger specced as well, mostly in t7.5 gear. I think my unbuffed AP is at 3900 right now. Raiding gets boring though, so I start leveling new characters
  12. Anyone notice the hood on this car? Pay close attention to the little flip lids that usually cover the battery and the washer fluid reservoir/clutch master:
  13. I loved my ele shammy in pvp @ 70 (before WOTLK). I would annihilate almost everything that couldn't get close to me. But once a rogue or enhance shammy were up in my face, I was done for.
  14. At lunch at work, we play street fighter 4 on hte 60" lcd w/ joysticks
  15. yep. that's why i made that reference i don't actually play any of hte games we publish. I never said that playing MMORPGs was a bad habit. Also, you'd be surprised how many married couples play the game, and how many relationships start because of it.
  16. the difference between playing MMORPGs like EVE or WoW and D&D is that when you play D&D, you interact with friends and real people
  17. Yes, and it's really not that much compared to other stuff people spend money on. You'd be really surprised. Company I work for doesn't have monthly subscription - but instead, the items in game are bought with game currency, which is purchased by cash. I've seen accounts where people spend $12,000 in one year on video game items. Virtual items. $130 is nothing - people spend that in a month on smokes.
  18. you'd be really surprised how many jocks are active games nowadays. I just remember how good it felt to walk into a software store at age 21, see my former classmate from high school that used to make fun of me being a geek, behind the counter, trying to be a computer salesman. He tried to make some sort of a joke at my expense. I laughed, and informed him that I was making 4x his salary. Shut him up pretty well.
  19. also, don't shoot outside because you have wind and elements landing on your fresh sticky paint. build a make shift booth out of clear plastic tarps in a garage or something
  20. cheaper than recreational drugs and alcohol, neither of which appeal to me
  21. heh, my coworker plays on kil'jaeden, but alliance. if you see 'tehlaw' gank him for me. but he's a pvp specced 80 rogue
  22. what server, faction, class? i have several on galakrond, horde, got an 80 rogue, 76 warrior, 76 mage
