I have now put on about 500 miles on the car, everything is working ok. I am having some problems with the fuel sending unit leaking. I put a new oring in, but i HAVE A VERY SMALL LEAK. Also I need to find some 3.5" tubing so I can mount the air filter outside.

I have the corvette motor in my Z but I think that the Camaro oil pan is the same. Good luck with the lt1 swap.

Are you sure about the 400 + HP ??? You only have the 2.5 exhaust .
Good luck on the race

I hate to say but I have worked with honda's alot. My last car that I just sold on ebay was a 1995 Acura integra gsr with JR supercharger 8psi and the car ran 12.7@114 on street tires this is with a stock engine. On the dyno the car made 235wh and 255wh with the exaust off. I had this same motor and Super charger in my 92 civic hb and that car ran 12.3@118. You can run fast with the stock motor just dyno tune it before you drive it.

It looks like you used 3" tubing for the cold air intake? I need to make my LT1 cold air also but I need to find some 3.5" tubing, the LT1 MAf is 3.5". So if you used 3.5" tubing please let me know where you bought it from.
Thanks

The private pilot exam was not that hard, just study your books, But the instrument written was not fun...

I used some WELD Draglite wheels.

I just put drag radials on mine. Use a 15x8 4.5 offset and they will fit. I have stock fenderwell, and it does not rub.

I have the 235/60/15 drag radial and I mounted them on 15x8 rims with a 4.5 offset.

Yes CV adapters, I got on the car hard off the line many times without any problems. I also put on some 235/60/15 drag radials. I need to learn how to program the 4l60e shift points now.

Tim your car is looking good. So a few more weeks before it is on the road?
The R230 cv mounts that I got from you are working out just fine.

I use the stock Corvette lt1 lower hose.

Mudge do you have a link for the Hypertech files? One problem at looking at other files is that they are set up for 3.73 gears.
Lonestar from what I can find, it looks like the Lt1 only uses mph to shift and not RPM. I tokk the rpm's up to 6000 to see if that would help.
The program does ask for what gears you have, I wish they would program the trans table from the change in gears.

I need some help on my 4l60e trans using Tunercat. I am having problems with the car hitting the rev limit before the trans shifts into the next gear. I have read that other people have the same problem when they go from 3.23 to 3.73 gears.
Right now I changed the speed settings to 3.54 gears and 235/60/15 tires
I also changed the speed settings on the up shift and down shift
Stock the Corvette with 3.07 gears had
1>2 @ 45mph
2>3 @ 81mph
3>4 @125mph
I changed these # to
1>2 @30mph
2>3 @60mph
3>4 @110
But the car still runs into the rev limit.

Tim when I put a vortec motor in my 89 Chevy 1500 I used Edelbrock fi kit. It uses 8 injectors and uses the ecm out of the truck. I love my Vortec motor for towing.

I pass under the Rio vista bridge all of the Time, but not by car. I am out that way on the weekend in my boat. You can come over anytime if you want. I had Mudge help me out when I first wanted to learn how to program my ecm.

I will be in Reno for hot August nights this weekend, and Summit is there also. So I want to pick up some drag radial 235/60/15 but I need to find out what rims to buy.. 15x8 with a 5 or 4" back spacing? I do not have coil over but I have seen them on z-cars before without them.

80LT1 I am having alot of fun with tunercat for my Lt1 ecm. It is nice to go in and change your ecm to the way that you want it. You might want to go with the 94-95 ecu down the road.

the motor and trans are from Ebay, as of right now I have about $4500 in the car and this includes.
lt1/4l60e,R230,Brake upgrades,springs and tokikos, and all of the other parts to get the car up and running. And this includes buying the car, but I still have alot more work to do, Roll cage and paint are going to cost alot.

I took the r230 axles back apart to fix the problem with the cv falling off. Looks like one side was ok and did not need any work, but the other side needed some small welds to stop the cv from moving to much. looks like when they cut the axles they used the outer part of the q45 to make the axle which necks down and allows the cv to fall off.
Make sure when you have your cv axles done that they use the inside part of the Q45 axle and not the outside.
other than that the R230 works just fine.

I got my axles fixed now. This Lt1 makes alot more low end than my old carburetor motors did. Even with the R230 diff I am having alot of problems with spining the tires. Motor rund good and 4l60e trans works just fine. I need to get some track times in soon, but I think that I will need some drag radials.

My car is a 240z My old car was a 280z. How many people have cut a coild out of them? I hope that this will be ok for the spring.

I had a 92 3.4 in my car a long time ago. I blew my v8 and I got the 3.4 for a good price. I had it in for 1 1/2 years and then the v8 went back. It was an ok motor and good on gas.

I do not have a grove to put a snap ring in. I might just put a small weld there.

I put in Tokico adjustables also, I just think that if they sell them as stock hight they should be stock hight. I might run them for a few weeks and them take them out and cut a coil out.

Estimate a 1/4 time?
