biohzrd Posted July 22, 2002 Author Share Posted July 22, 2002 yeah i found that site befor and thats the only reason i got the lt1. i've always wanted to inject a high hp motor but didn't like that 900 dollar price tag that comes with the miniram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Keep us posted, I'm really interested to hear how it goes. The new Holley intake also looks interesting but height is apparently an issue. I'm hoping to use a converted carb intake if the guy would ever get aroound to converting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 looking at that intake conversion... you guys think those (2) 1/2" coolant lines will flow enough? and what kind of engine management would be needed? too many questions!! Looking at that myself... in the process of an 87 300zx 350 conversion.... not enough hood clearance for a carb/NOS setup.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biohzrd Posted July 22, 2002 Author Share Posted July 22, 2002 last night i got an lt1 intake with the injectors and throttle body for the grand total of a 100 bucks. i just couldn't pass it up. i'm going to convert it to fit onto the older style heads. should be fun..

Mike C Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 The stock LT1 heads have a coolant line off the back of the heads that is the crossover. From there it runs to the throttle body. It is even smaller than the -6 lines on the LT1 intake conversion, so should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Allright, some engine management info for that modified intake. I e-mailed John over at lt1intake and he sent this back to me... "You can get the speed density ECM 1227730 from many cars. Corsica Celebrity Ciera Pontiac 6000 Century Beretta Cavalier Tempest Cadillac Cimarron And of course '90-92 Camaro's and Firebirds. Very common ECM and should be less the $50 used less prom. Most of the cars that these were in are V-6's but the ECM is the same, just need to replace the prom. Wire harness would best be a Speed Density TPI "painless harness". John www.lt1intake.com" A question i would have, is how much for the prom, and where would be the best place to get it? kind of a non-researched question... just flowing... - Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biohzrd Posted July 23, 2002 Author Share Posted July 23, 2002 the same guy who sold me the intake is also going to give me his harness. he went from an auto to the t56 and certain things are not working on the car as a result. that being the case he is going to get the correct harness for his car and sell me his old one for around 50 bucks. he works for a local gm dealer and they will just warranty out one for him. aka free + shipping. as far as the ecm goes i'll figure out something when it gets to that point. i'll get ya'll some pics when i start the process.

ToplessZ Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Any progress on the conversion I am very interested in doing this myself Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biohzrd Posted August 15, 2002 Author Share Posted August 15, 2002 i got into setting it all up and do it myself but have decided to let the guy at lt1intake do it. i know if i put my mind and effort into it i could but i would also hate to scew up a good manifold. and for 200 bucks thats good insurance to me. plus he's done it alot and knows the "tricks" involved. i have a friend here that messed one up trying to do it and had to spend about a hundred bucks to have it welded up. after he got it together and installed it's really an improvement. mpg went from 14 to 18 and he dropped 7 tenths in the quarter. all around much more pleasant to drive. i would suggest it to anyone considering it. it's really not a whole lot more expensive then a carbed setup in the end.

Guest Anonymous Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Its a nice system, very short runners, doesn't run out of steam like a TPI. Very cool deal. Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToplessZ Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Has anyone gotten this completed yet. What was your total cost. And does anyone have any of the parts needed to do this conversion that they wont be using. Such as harness injectors intake etc. I think Im going to go this route. Lets hear some feedback...

Guest Your Car is Slow Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 There is a guy on CamaroZ28.com (in the for sale section) selling complete LT1 intake swap (everything you need) for TPI motors. Its a bit pricey...but seems to be what yall are lookin for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToplessZ Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Do you have a link to that post. Im not a member there and cant find the post. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToplessZ Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 nm I found it...same guy posted on thirdgen.org for 550. price isnt bad im gonna try to do it cheaper. I just bought my intake for 75 bucks with the tb attached. Still gotta get the rails and injectors though but im pretty confident I can get them cheap or even make my own rails.

ToplessZ Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 Yes I think his did come with the fuel rails but the one I just picked up for 75 bucks did not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
