Briguy280Z Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Phantom, i used a street and performance intake and what i am finding out is that i pull in approx 190 degree air when i am not moving at operating temperature. After gaining some speed it does drop to about 100 degrees. After reading some forum i was told that 1% HP drop every 10 degrees above ambiant air temp. I like what mas28O did and sure will keep HP up when he hits operating temperature. My problem is that i have an electrical center and coolant overflow on the passanger side. I am going to try to use a cupple of 45 and 90's to get out on the drivers side. Also another idea was to punch out a hole in the wheelwell Any other ideas???

mas28O Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 Briguy280Z It looks like you are not using the MAF? Did you program it out? It also looks like you have a 1998 LS1 just like Phantom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MistaFosta Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Briguy280Z It looks like you are not using the MAF? Did you program it out? It also looks like you have a 1998 LS1 just like Phantom. Its actually built in to the air cleaner.. You can find it on that site I sent you a link to.

QWKDTSN Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I just have to say, Briguy...... That shifter is AWESOME. You're my hero 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Briguy, It's not real clear from the pictures but it looks like you can hang a left coming out of the MAF and go under the upper heater hose to the hole on the drivers side of the radiator, out through it, and then in front of the radiator. On mine the turn was made before the MAF and the MAF was installed on the length running crosswise toward the drivers side of the car. The HP loss is about 1% for each 20°F so 90° would be worth about 4.5% or around 15 HP on the LS1. That is really cheap HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBC Z Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 that ls1 is a sweet set up. Do you know what the weight difference between the ls1 and the 6 . Im thinking LS1 on my next car. Hope my wife will stay around. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briguy280Z Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Yea the MAF is apart of the air cleaner, nice little setup but pulls in to much hot air. Speed and Performace parts in Arizona Nion, i tossed that shifter about 5 months ago i use a lou's short stick with a hurst nob. That one was made up to be able to drive the car....i should of saved it so i could sent it to you Well thats not so bad i guess...i plan on dyno sometime next month...finishing odds and ends before MotorSports Car show No programming has been done to the computer, it is stock and i rewired the harness....suprised everything works HEHEHE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSflyer Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 mas280.... You said in an earlier reply that you made your mounts. Can you give some detail (or close up pics!) of how you did it. From what I see in your picture, they're really clean looking. I'd rather copy a good plan than some of the other junk I've seen. Thanks!

Briguy280Z Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Ouch now that really hurts, my motor mounts look like junk, jeromio's and maichor's too. Copying a good plan is one thing but putting someone elses design down just cuz u don't like it is another. I think everyone did a great job with the motor mounts with how many swaps involving a LS-1 in a Z-car. Design your own if you think you can do better!!! WE ARE HERE TO HELP NOT PUT EVERYONE ELSES DOWN BECAUSE WE DID IT DIFFERENTLY. Briguy280Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QWKDTSN Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Tsk... shame, that. You must have felt like Rat Fink with your hand three feet up in the air like that to shift gears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mas28O Posted February 20, 2004 Author Share Posted February 20, 2004 I would have to say that is too blunt. I do not think that there is one right way to mount the LS1 into the Z. I was going to use JOHNS CAR mounts but when I talked to them they where very rude. I will post some pics tonight, try to keep a open mind.

SSflyer Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Briguy, Hey, I wasn't trashing your work or anyone elses. Not my style. I probably should have been a little more specific. It's hard to see in his pictures, but it looks like he's got one piece mounts. The JTR style with stacked spacers just doesn't look as clean to me. I haven't been through everyones pictures yet, and maybe there's others that are even better. I'm just trying to see what everyone else has used before I get started. No offense intended!
