im putting long tubes on a friends car and was wondering if the air tubes get reused cuz the headers have no place for them. thanks in advance

 

The air system on our cars is purely for heating up the cats, without one, the other becomes obsolete, you'd just as well go ahead and delete them both. No sense in having your car carry around unnecessary dead weight that's no longer functional. The air pump is generally a bit of a PITA to delete, but maybe not for you since you're doing LT's. Pretty straightforward though, mainly just a bunch of unbolting and cutting, I'm pretty sure somebody did a write-up for that on here a while back, I just can't remember who. Good luck.

 

i figured i could throw it away. ive heard of some kind of blocking plate to put somewhere but havent figured out where yet mayb after i get it tore apart illsee it. i got the pass side exhaust manifold off AND I BROKE A BOLT OFF IN THE HEAD dang it. now i need to take the head off or figure out how to get it out. its the one closest to the firewall lol nice

 

Oh you gotta love that, the block off plate you speak of goes over where the EGR valve connects.

 

yeah that really sucks so now im just going to pull the heads cuz if i dont the way my luck is going ill break more on the drivers side & have to pull them anyway lol. might as well bump the compression now hehe

are there any "free mods" with these cars. i dont know much about these older camaros but it looks like i could do a coolant bypass mod on them like on my 01z28. am i right??

 

Yes you can, there's a discussion about this on thirdgen.org:

is there any other FREE mods u can do to these cars to make more horsepower?

 

You could gut the cats or just delete them if you haven't done so already.

 

ohh theres not going to be any cats ill tell ya that for free

 

Ha yeah I would've figured as much with you adding LT's. My search for free mods for IROCs hasn't really turned up much, but you should try this guy's site:

http://iroczthecamaro.webs.com/

I've been skimming over some of the info on this guy's site, and while I haven't found anything yet directly pertaining to free mods, the guy seems to have a pretty extensive knowledge of the cars (he currently owns an '88 himself). Maybe you could join it and get in contact with him, he could probably help you out a lot better than me. I'd hit up Brent too, he had a '90 IROC so I bet he'd know something about free mods for those cars. Good luck with everything, man. Keep me posted.

 

what do you do with the o2 sensor if theres no bung in the header? put one in or put a simulator in. dont think u can put a sim in since theres only 1 o2 on here. NEVER MIND I HAVE THIS FIGURED OUT
