..after going around to the local retards at Lordco and Canadian Tire...we couldn't find an install tool to install the hub..or is some cases a pulley..the Canadian Tire retard said a hub doesn't exist anywhere on the engine...anyway, off to Lordco...another bunch of retards..."oh, just bash it with a hammer"...well that had nothing so we stole a big socket and lightly hammered it on...it was all good...the FLP's were a major pain to line up but finally we got it. So Matt and I filled her up with coolant...and fired that baby up...my heart was beating so hard...so I turned the key and I **** my pants..OMG..anyway's everything is fine...I'm gonna drill the TB plate to raise the idle for now till I get edit...their is an engine code..but I removed the EGR. A huge thanks to Matt...he's no longer an LS1 virgin

 

Hey Mike there is a set screw that can be moved to raise the idle, atleast there was on my bros ta. Thats all i have done to help keep the idle sane

 

Oh Mike, I'll have a look in morning...thanks....and thanks for answering my quick question today...all is well

 

Sweet Gald to hear everything worked out I can't wait to see it, is the car by my house? I will swing by there tommorow or if you get a chance come by will go for a little drive

 

Good to hear Mike! how long till it is on the road and you get to actually use it?

Ohh Yeah the set screw didn't even pop into mind should somewhat take care of some of the problem, remember Mike, this is the 228R cam

 

Congrats Mike, can't wait to see her in person .

A.

 

The car is in Fleetwood...come on by

 

Mike

I have your painted parts. When can we get together?

 

Hey Shawn, thanks...I'm heading out to the flea market..I'll check if your home...as for the car...I had to increase the idle to 1600 rpm to stay running ....damn...I need a tune. The onlt other issue is that I burned an O2 sensor wire..too close to the headers..so far I'm at stage one of my break in.


LT1Z28..if you are reading this, what idle is your bro's car running at?

thanks

 

o2 sensor wire burnt? On what side? both were well away from the headers for the time being, not for driving though cuz they needed to be zapped strapped, you have another one though

 

All is good...I have a spare one

 

have the idle set at around 1000-1100 mike

how did you burnt a o2 wire or are you just going by the code
Later
Mike

 

...the O2 wire shifted towards the header and started to melt....Matt brought up an interesting subject..here's the quote:

"I just got the 228R cam/headers etc... for my 2001 Camaro I was wondering if there is a program like Tunercat for the LT1 cars to just upload an LS1 tune to my computer without LS1 edit or anything? Cuz I have a tune, now I just have to upload it to the PCM, my friend has an AUTOTAP cable which will interface with my car for scanning & laptop, now I"m sure this same cable can be used to upload data to the pcm, is there a program that will allow me to upload this file?

Thanx for any help, very much appriciated."

...what do you think Mike..would it work, but as for the idle around 1100, the car won't even stay running....Matt also said...tricker the timing by thinking it's colder...

 

The only problem I see with that though is timing being a wie bit too high at WOT because of the tinkering with temp.
