Paging Steve Rupp.......
Make sure Steve get's a few of those awesome pics and some words to go with. You never know..... Well done on driving the snot out of your Camaro man! G. |
I am installing accusump and oilcooler but how to attach piping to engine, exhaust manifolds has pretty tight fit
Any hints how to do do it. http://static.summitracing.com/globa...r-22-595_w.jpg This kind of adapter didnīt fit, no room for pipes. there is less than inch from filter to exhaust. http://static.summitracing.com/globa...e/ham-3323.jpg This kind dont work too good either, pipes go too low (for ground clearance) so would need to be connected with 90degree fittings, then those are also pretty wide and it gets tight with exhaust again. So, hints? And remember, LS3 so M22x1,5mm thread for filter... |

Got one my self.. Henrik/Sweden |
Something has been done during long Finnish winter, main mission was steering and get wheels turn like they should in driftcar. Pics dont link correctly but click the links...
I made new lower control arms, using oldones as base. 7cm longer per side, changed wheels from 8x17et -10 to 8x16 et 8 and tyres from 235 -> 205. Now wheels can turn in THEORY 65 degrees http://forum.vastaheitto.com/index.p...ach=5144;image Then i get rid of old steering box and started to fit rack & pinion steering, i choosed Volvo 240 aluminium core rack, they use these in rally cars here and you can get different ratios to those, I had custom made infernals to that, now 2.5 turns lock to lock, in normal tarvel distance... And added 10cm more lenght to rack, so total travel now 28cm, should be enough....? http://forum.vastaheitto.com/index.p...ach=5140;image Then modified, knucles in right lenght and angle, i made bolt on adapters to knuckles, tested movements few times with those and when it was right made jigs and welded knuckles in those, maintained to keep them symmetrical that way, now it turns that 65 degrees and basically no ackerman at any turning angle. And doesnīt go near to dead angle at full lock, few days well spent http://forum.vastaheitto.com/index.p...ach=5146;image But how to route Steering axle, front crossmember was badly in way. Get 90 degree rotating gearbox to it:D Pic shows also how i solves upper control arm issue, i moved those from inside of brackets in frame to outside, so those moved 60cm out which correlated lenghtening of lower arms. http://forum.vastaheitto.com/index.p...ach=5138;image And last steering mod was to fit Opel Corsa C steering colum, tilt and elecric Power steering with adjustable sensitivity. http://forum.vastaheitto.com/index.p...ach=5136;image But then front wheel stick out 5cm from fenders, and front end had seen itīs better days also otherwise. So little glasfiber and paint. Btw. couldnīt afford zipties... http://forum.vastaheitto.com/index.p...ach=5158;image http://forum.vastaheitto.com/index.p...ach=5160;image Thats all about steering, not at full lock in this pic yeat. http://nikon.1g.fi/kuvat/Tapahtumat/...g/_smaller.jpg Then gearbox rebuild, it was kind of "loose" and i managed to do lot of misshifts in last season so in went new -> -Carbon fiber Blocking rings -Billet Keys for the 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 and Reverse Synchronizer Assembly, with stronger springs for keys -T56 3-4 Steel Shift Fork, used in Viper, standars aluminium is weak link -3-4 Synchronizer Assembly. Complete new. -Bronze fork pads for all shift forks. Im glad i did it, feels completely different to shift. Otherwise nothing fancy changes in engine, otherwise than adding accusump -> Canton Racing Products 24-026 - Canton Racing Accusump Oil Accumulators - Overview - SummitRacing.com to make sure that engine has alwas oil and oilcooler. http://forum.vastaheitto.com/index.p...ach=5148;image To rear axle, i decided to get rid of leaf springs and go with Four-link setup. I got Competition engineering universal kit and that assembly is in progress right now. Final gear ratio is also going to change from 1:3.72 to 1:4.1 so fourth gear will also get in use. And axle shafts change to Mosers stronger ones. http://forum.vastaheitto.com/index.p...ach=5152;image http://forum.vastaheitto.com/index.p...ach=5156;image And one more, polished it for car to :-) http://jimin.galleria.fi/kuvat/22.-2...).jpg/_big.jpg |
