RebekahsZ Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Johnc taught me to drill a hole right they the face of the drum and use a brake adjustment tool to adjust the rears. There is a little lead or rubber button in the drum that is in the right spot. Sure enough, it helped! The stock adjusters don't do a very good job.

CableSrv Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 So I finally got my bluetooth obd2 plugin that I can use with my cell phone and see all my info. (water temp, fault codes, rpm, speedometer, and others) Apparently i'm displaying a P1336 crank sensor error. It seems using a 99pcm on a 98 motor that the pcm needs to relearn the motor... but unfortunately you need someone with a Tech2 or efi live tool to tell the pcm to relearn. I do not know anyone with this, and most dealers will not touch a car that is hybrid. I'm at a wall on what to do... anyone in DFW know someone with these scan tools that would be willing to take a few minutes to let my pcm relearn the motor?

JoeK Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 What about taking it to a LS1 tuner? I'd think you'd want it tuned with the new headers and such anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Gadsby Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Not in DFW, but we have a pretty decent tuner in Temple. He is putting LSs into everything, including a monster turbo 5.3 S14. Check out SWG Performance on facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Contact JCI and ask them who they use. They used to use Chips by Al but I don't think he's around anymore. He re flashed my Ecu from a '98 automatic set up to a 2002 T56 setup and it's been great for 12 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableSrv Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hmm, I'll contact John and see what he says. JoeK, I would love a tune but that's 500 bucks I don't have atm.. and would rather use that 500 bucks for gauges!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableSrv Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Woo!! got my wipers finally wired with park! Apparently the EZ 12 kit only has a wiper power wire and that goes directly to the wiper, while the 3 other wires from the switch are the grounds. Using the honda wiper diagram with the relay for park it was pretty easy to match up http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/26561-honda-wiper-motor-upgrade-for-the-240z/ blue/red = purple wiper power wire black = chassis ground rest is the same as the above link for wiring in the relay. The only difference is the black wire that comes off the wiper motor itself, should just be tied to the chassis where it is. I simply left about 4in's worth of wire and added a ring terminal and attached it to the metal right next to the mount point. Now my wipers work perfectly and still park!

Jay Gadsby Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 So new body harness and engine? I like this idea. Have you wired lights and such yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableSrv Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) YUP! wired everything up using the EZ-wiring 12 mini kit! The only thing really holding me back from making this legal is horn gauges? (using obd2 bluetooth with cell phone for digital gauges) hi beam indicator? insurance inspection registration.... I need to add relays to my headlights tho, and plan to today. I have parts on order to get my stock 18mm sway bar remounted. And have a bluetooth obd2 plug so that I can use my phone as digital gauges to pass inspection, until I can actually afford gauges. After reading ls1tech about my crank position sensor P1336 code, many are saying it does NOT affect the engine at all (as long as no other codes are present) and it is only used for misfire detection. Most say I should just have a tuner remove the DTC for it and that way I never get a code again. Edited July 16, 2015 by CableSrv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableSrv Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Added my stock sway bar with polyurethane bushings and makes a world of a difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not try DSXTuning. He did my basic tune (tire size, trans, removed the security, etc.) for $50.

CableSrv Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 I have not got that sorted, however from reading ls1tech.com, it doesn't seem to matter as it does not affect the engine running at all. My pcm was already modified from chevythunder to remove all that. However this can't be done via mailing in my pcm. This has to be done on the car locally to fix it. Either way so close to being legal. This friday I'll be going get insurance, inspection, and registration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR3mAvUL4q4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 the lt1swap.com guy charges 75 i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableSrv Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 unfortunately he's not local.. good news is the guy from chevy thunder is in san antonio!! which is a few hours drive from DFW! So once I'm legal I could probably take it to him to get fixed for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableSrv Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) She's fully legal now!!! Felt great driving her around! Tho no ac in Texas sucks! Suspension is way to soft, hatch vibrates due to no weather stripping, and heat comes from the shifter hole badly.

Jay Gadsby Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Awesome man. Glad she is on the road. Only one more month before it starts to cool down. You can make it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableSrv Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Took her on the highway and a problem came up... the stock ls1 oil sender snapped off during rebuild and completely forgot about it. All that was holding back oil pressure was that tiny little yellow plastic disk... and the least to say under full throttle joining the highway it blew... lost some oil but took her home quick. Found a m16x1.5 oil drain plug from napa auto and used that to replug that oil pressure switch. Ended up having to add another 2.5 quarts of oil back in. Hopefully that shouldn't have hurt the engine. Engine still sounds solid but you never know when you start losing oil.Other than that, I really need to cover the trans tunnel where the shifter is... so much hot air comes in from there.

BLOZ UP Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 You knew what it was right when it happened? How? You have an oil pressure gauge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableSrv Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) At first I didn't know, but as soon as I opened the hood it was very apparent. It wasn't spewing oil like a fountain or anything but enough came out to soak the down pipes of the headers and cause smoke. Luckily I wasn't far from home and hopefully didn't cause any major damage. I still had a good amount of oil left. Oil smoke is what let me know something was wrong...

CableSrv Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 And on another note of crap that sucks... after modifying the stock 71 tank to have a sump... I did not add baffles for braking... so under moderate/hard braking I get fuel starve issues.... at this point I think I might as well just go fuel cell and be done with it.
