Made my own oil breather/separator. The "levels" that the breather hoses enter have loose stainless wool trapped by holed "floors" to try and catch oil in the air, and allow it to drop to the bottom & pool where there isn't steel wool, then be drained later.
I wanted to relocate the coilpacks to give it a bit more racey look, plus pull them away from turbo piping heat..
I wanted both the plug end and the coilpack ends to have 90* boots.. the plug end was easy but it was a bit more difficult to find a 90* boot for the coilpack to keep everything compact looking. After much surfing I found a Taylor universal LS1 plug wire kit along with an additional set of SBC universal HEI 90* distributor boots would work (SBC boots with the wire kit's termal)..
Also made these firewall grommets. It's a two-piece front "cover" that bolts onto a stepped one-piece rear plate (that has a slot in it to slide over the wiring loom) and then everything tightens down to sandwich the firewall...
DISCLAIMER: I modified as I saw fit, and wouldn't recommend doing this unless you're extremely comfortable with fabrication/welding/chassis work etc. This obviously voids Chassisworks warrenty, and I needed to chop up my driveshaft tunnel for yoke clearance, as well as the trunk pan for diff clearance.
This would've been the recommended ride height before mods (2.5" coilover bump travel). This is fine for lots of people. But I wanted to safely go lower
Chopped the upper crossbar & coilover mount brackets off so they could be moved up..
Positioned the crossbar brackets as high as they'd go, at the top of the framerail brackets which is right underneath where the new trunk pan will go. I believe the height they were moved up was 1.75" up, possibly 2".
Put a notch in the intermediate relocation adapter plates so that the crossbar mount welds are 100% in shear. Also why the adapter plate hooks below the framerail in an L shape.
Also made a cross bar for the front UCA pivot points, to spread the load between framerails during cornering/acceleration/deceleration.
This is the new ride height with 2.5" bump/2.5" rebound travel. I would say worth it (at least to me)!
great job and nice ride!! what kinda power does it make?
I haven't dyno'd it yet, still working on the driveabilty of the tune. But I've got it up to 14psi and by the butt-dyno I'd say it's probably hovering around 650 at the crank. Spark tuning and max power pulls on the dyno will happen in the spring.
