I really don't remember how I wired it on this swap, it was like 3 years ago. There's 2 basic ways to do it. 1. Just run the key cranking +12v wire right to the starter, as long as the computer has key-on power it will fire up. The only downside is no safety mechanism, so it would start in reverse or drive and possibly pin grandma to the wall of the garage. 2. Run the key cranking +12v to the computer starter input wire, the computer starter output wire to a relay, and the relay's +12v to the starter. This let's you use the safety of the MLPS switch.

About that time the Brujo next door came over to drink some beers. While he took one look at the engine and started yelling in Spanish and making what looked like gang signs in the air. I don't remember what all he said except he kept chanting "Conductor Diabolico! CONDUCTOR DIABOLICO!" I threw that engine right in the trash can that night, made a pretty loud thump the next morning when they dumped it in the back of the garbage truck.

I'm interested in your setup? Trying to figure out my options. I already have a Daikin mini split installation at my house. It has 2 internal units and one external unit model: 2MXS24RMVJUA. Unfortunately it takes 240V ac input power. The label says "compressor motor 15.5A" so 3720W I guess. I'm assuming I'll need a 4000W+ setup to power it once I add in the power consumption of the internal units. I don't know how much power is used when it is run as a heat pump vs when it's run as an air conditioner. If I got 400W panels, how many do you think I'd need to be able to run this year round. I'm in southern CA, so generally pretty sunny year round. I'm considering a 120/240V split phase inverter to give me the option of potentially powering other 110V things as well but I'm still researchign and learning. Another question I have is, what happens when the cloud cover is such that the panels don't generate enough power. If the battery runs low will it just underpower the minisplit system or will it shut itself off? Is that bad for the minisplit system? I'm currently on the grid and am hoping to set up a DIY solar system that never feeds the grid. Is there a way that the minisplit system could automatically be switched back to grid power if my solar/battery system isn't providing enough power? Do you have any tips for me as a noob? Thanks!

Reason 1 is that the float position to alignment tab looks wrong and at ~7:30 when you pull it out it looks like the float would be hitting the side of the tank, and 2, the seal would be a non-issue.

This EFI stuff is out of my wheelhouse of expertise but I'm finally after decades thinking of messing around with this brand new EFI thing! Just kidding (I'm a shhhhh carb guy) but if you were going to try n make more power with factory parts would the flex injectors be capable of a bit more HP? I'm guessing they're larger for the ethanol? I'm one of those people that when they get interested in something I just absorb every bit of info I can do I was just wondering. Getting into boost is just so much easier with EFI and blow thru carbs are really expensive so I gotta figure this all out.
@wilsworkshop20 күн бұрын
The flex flow 36 lb/hr. Non-flex 24 lb/hr. I usually use the flex ones with up to a "stage 2" cam with regular gas. They usually work for about 6 lbs of boost also depending on cam. Beyond that you'll need de-caps or aftermarket injectors. Once you realize EFI is identical to a carb, but better, you'll never want a carb again. A carb can only be tuned for one tempature/rpm/altitude set of variables, but EFI is like having 100 carbs that get swapped out every time the rpm or other variable changes. EFI is max power at every step of the rpm range instead of a carb tuned for a narrow power band and "good enough" at the other parts. I swapped to EFI 20+ years ago and literally threw my boxes of carbs in the trash.

Does the LS3 suffer from this issue as well..? I have a 2010 Chevy Camaro with a mid 2009 production date, so it probably has the pre-revised (driver’s side) valve cover if anything. My question though, is if the (older) LS3 (non-AFM/DOD) requires this? The manual/non-AFM/DOD LS3 engines don’t have the PCV routing that the L99 engines in the automatic/DOD equipped 5th gen (10-15) Camaro V8’s have. Instead of PCV routing all the way to the rear driver side valve cover, mine is simply capped off from the factory… On top of that, I was planning to swap out my stock valley cover plate and gasket for it, due to excessive oil blow-by. I noticed this issue after installing an oil catch can; where the catch can would fill up 70-75% of the way, with every ~200-250 miles of driving or so!

Yes
Usually yes it needs to be turned on, but I've seen some computers with the E-fans turned on but the truck equipped with a mechanical fan. The only way to know is to check the tune, which at that point you can just turn them on if you have the software to check it.
Save yourself some heartache and cash. Don't f___ with a junkyard engine for a LS swap. Instead, get a GM SBC crate engine w/ warranty and you'll be ahead of the game
Also, don't f___ with fries in hot fat, they hurt really bad, so do skin graphs.
do you think a 1998 or 99 chevy 3500 ls would be a good swap engine has 120000 miles I want to put in a 56 olds I know it ran but the brain died its be sitting for some years now or look for a different one any problems you know of using this thanks
A 1999 3500 should be a 6.0L if it's a LS engine. The only downside is the 99-00 6.0's usually have cast iron heads instead of aluminum. Just extra weight and less desirable is all, doesn't really hurt the horsepower.
What did you hook pin 9 into
What is the exhuast manifold you use ?
This video is gold thank you for it
Great info. Thanks.
What did you have removed from your exam other then vats
Ecm
Where did you order your alignment bar from?
Awesome video, double check pushrod lengths when assembly 😉
Is anyone else's shifter stuck? Like the button won't click in to release.
There's a manual release button at the base of the shifter you need to either disable, or wire up the lockout seloniod. It's a little plunger that locks the shifter when the key is turned off in the stock vehicle.
Thanks I took the whole electrical component out of mine.
I would have used a toggle switch for ignition power and a momentary push button for the starter. The switch you have will work fine though. Just personal preference.
I like to use nylon fuel line. If it's good enough for OEM it's good enough for anything I'll be doing with it
Yeah nylon at a minimum for a real application. I've pretty much switched over to Summit Racing PTFE Stainless Braided line for everything. It's pretty budget friendly and rated for 2000 PSI. It works for custom power steering lines also.
Perfect video I’ve been wanting to build one for a few weeks now
Go for it!
Use Rust 911, wayyyyyyy cheaper than Evaporust and wayyyy more effective. I just soaked my car fuel tank in it, no scrubbing, came out completely clean.
That's good to know. I have a rust bucket project coming up and will grab some Rust 911 to try out.
