403 LS2 FD - LS7 Build for 2020!

[MPbdy]

Cool!  Figured as much.

What is that mesh that harness mesh stuff you use?

[halfspec]

I just use the basic expanding sleeving on waytek. You can get fancier stuff that's more rugged and has pretty tracers on it if you look though

Does the LS2 have a secondary air pump? If so, what did you do with it? Also, what are you doing about fuel lines, regulator, charcoal canister, etc. to get it CA legal?

[MPbdy]

No air pump on the ls2.  This post should answer the rest of your questions.

If you're starting a CA Ref'ed build now I highly suggest using the E-rod.

I just looked up the Bosch pump and at 4 bar it pulls 12 amps.

Negative, maybe free-flow it'll drop to 12 amps, but full-bore those will pop a 20A fuse.  Something like 15A nominal, use a 25A or 30A fuse/breaker.

I don't think anyone in this thread said to fuse the circuit with a 20A fuse. In fact I told Daniel not to worry about fuses as every circuit in the front relay box is fused externally and the stock fuse is 30A.

IT CRANKED!

Just bumped the starter for the first time successfully.  First start is just around the corner.  Unfortunately I have dinner plans all tonight...

Started with only 4 volts at the starter solenoid and nothing.  Jumped the clutch switch and got to 5.2 volts and got a click. 

This car had a turbo timer and a "star guard" in it when I got it.  Was NOT fun but I just got all that garbage out and now the bitch cranks.

Congrats!  It feels so good when you know all that hard work is about to pay off.

Sweet!

[mattster03]

Very much approve.

Can't wait to hear it run.... your impressions and it pass CA smog!

[MPbdy]

Will this clear the hood?

[4packet]

No 

[digitalsolo]

That depends, does your hood have a giant ass hole right where that tube is?  If so, yes, it will clear fine!

WTF are you trying to do there buddy?
