What would I need to do to add a LS6 intake to my '99 LS1?


P.S. What the &#@$ is a DSM???? It's a car but no idea what kind!

 

DSM stands for Diamond Star Motors. Usual refers to Eclipes and Talons.

As for the intake I cant really remember what's needed for the install. I didnt think there was much to it. Sorry, it's late and I need to get some sleep.

 

Youll need the 2001+ front coolant tube and two rear coolant plugs

Click Here to go to an article that explains exactly how to do it.
It has the part #'s for the stuff you'll need, and plenty of pictures.

Good luck

you can get all the parts brand new from www.paceparts.com

look along the left side of the page for the ls1/ls6 section and go to induction.

 

you'll need to block off the EGR passage at the exhaust manifold also. then, you'll need to have the EGR turned off in the PCM so not to throw a code.

 

Thanks guys!

 

I would not remove the coolent lines since they allow any trapped air in a LS1 to purge out and prevent hotspotting.

You can leave the lines and just use like a Dremal and grind off the little excess plastic edges on bottom side down and intake then will fit with the coolent lines still function.

 

What your saying then is that all of the 00 and up vettes and all of the 01 and up f-bodys have hotspotting?????????????????????????????????
That when GM changed to the LS6 intake they screwed up all of the motors???????????????????????????
I think that GM found out that crossing over the coolant in the front and the back was not necessary. They still crossover in the front.
