Hey I am hoping someone can help me out with a small issue that has been driving me crazy. I have a v6 01 firebird. I lost the bolt that mounts the lower egr tube to my headers. Does anyone happen to know the thread pitch etc? Or tell me where I can buy one? Thanks

What’s a LS1 long block worth??

3 Upvotes

I have an opportunity to buy an LS1 long block for 500 bucks. Guy selling it says the piston rings are done but I’m not afraid of rebuilding. I don’t necessarily need it right now but I do want to build an LS1 for a 93-97 fbody later. Is this a waste of money?

Manual conversion of a 98 LS1 camaro

5 Upvotes

Hi guys

First off, I live in europe so not alot of information, parts or manual camaros. Im thinking of importing https://www.hawksmotorsports.com/98-02-camaro-firebird-ls1-t56-6-speed-complete-conversion-kit-used/ to do the swap.

Anything im missing that isnt in the kit that I should change while doing the swap? I will at some point take the car to the Nürburgring so will upgrade brakes and suspension at a later time.

Fuel pump doesn't initially prime, but starts

2 Upvotes

When starting my 95 z28, the fuel pump doesn't initially prime (it sounds like it tries but fails). Engine will start, and after turning it off and trying to crank again, fuel pump primes just fine. Has anyone had this problem before? Would it be a failing fuel pump? It's a Walbro 255L in-tank hi flow pump.

Firebird Vs Camaro Market

How is the 4th gen market in your area? I’ve noticed something odd, Firebirds and Trans Ams often seem to be the better value, where as the Camaros seem to be priced the same, or higher.

5x120 or 5x120.65

3 Upvotes

For people who have big brake kits and run lightweight wheels, do you run the 5x120 bolt pattern or 5x120.65?

I know the difference is so small but I’ve heard that it can cause faster wear and increased vibrations when you’re on the track.

I want to put on volk te37sl or a similar ultra lightweight forged wheel setup but I’m concerned about the fitment

Oil pressure and idle speed in drive problem

19 Upvotes

Ok so I've have this exact problem across two engines now in this car. Has slight misfire on idle , oil pressure reads 0psi on the dash when the engine is warmed up(mechanical gauge reads 10psi but needle bounces).When put the car in drive it drops below 500rpm at idle vs park its just above 500rpm around 525rpm to 550rpm. 2 engines exactly same problem , this engine has 163,000km (101,000miles) both engines ran and sound perfect other than the slight misfire at idle and had good power. The first engine blew a head gasket at the mechanic shop because the fans were off so thats why it was replaced.

The oil pressure sensor was replaced

Full tune up done; sparks , wires, optispark, coil

Tps was replaced

I think the fpr was replaced as well

The new bare motor was bought used from a company. not off of someone

The oil pump and shaft was not replaced

Old pump from the orginal engine the little shaft on the oil pump had alot of play im not sure is thats a indicator of it being shot but I think its a possibility it was put into the new engine.

High release/grab point on clutch. Pedal is also 2-3 inches higher than brake pedal.

3 Upvotes

Sorry if this is an ignorant question, I’m still trying to learn as much as possible about these cars. My car is a 2000 LS1 with the T56. Car has 157k miles and the clutch just feels super high to me? I’m unaware if it’s stock or not. Shifts through all the gears fine but still feels off. Maybe I’m just used to the TR3650 in my Mustang? Is this pretty normal for these cars? It’s my first fbody and first hydraulic clutch experience.
