Post by tour de frans »

Goeie Dag Almal.

Wil net noem My Patrol loop nou met n LS1. Die Convertion het my 4 weke geneem om te doen.
Kar loop baie lekker en petrol lyk sover mooi ook.

Hallo
Ek gaan engels try. Its a gen 3. Drive by cable not wire. I like the drive by cable. less electrics and cheaper licence to access the ecu. I wired the GM wireing to the patrol. Very easy. only 5 wires. exept for the rev conter and oil light etc. I used the Patrol gearbox with a the 6l Lumina clutch. There were some other mods I had to do ie: the fuel pressure regulator are intank with the Lumina. I had to fit a external regulator. No manifold do fit. Not the 5.3, 5.7, 6.0 or even the ls2. Some say that a corvette might work. I made branches out of mandrill pipes. Running a dual 63mm exhaust from the front to the back. A nice x-pipe in the front to mix the super v8 sound. I used the hydraulic fan. driving it with the chevy powersteer pump. Had to add a solinoid to turn fan on and off. The ls1 has a v-belt tentioner that I removed and fitted the nissan powersteering pump. So that stayed std.
I had to swop the sump out with a rear boal sump to clear the front axle.
The Patrol pull like a train, start and Idle perfect with the GM ecu. Idle control works perfect to. It is a realy nice convertion.
Ek sal later prentjies opsit. Ek ry nou eers lekker rond

Meer oor die radiator fan. Tinus daar is nie plek vir n vicous nie. Daar is baie plek tussen die engine en die radiator ja. maar die waterpomp pully sit te na aan die intake manifold. So n waaier sal nie kan draai nie. n Mens kan ook nie die waaier verleng nie want die engine se inlaat pyp gaan dit nie toelaat nie.
Daar is n manier om n viscous te gebruik. Ek sou eerder die hidroliese roete gaan. Beter as n viscous in my oe.
As jy die 'truck style' intake gebruik kan jy n viscous hardloop. Die intake se runners draai lekker hoog. Dit skuif dan die intake pyp ook op. In n Patrol sal dit ook werk en die bonnet sal reg toemaak. Die engine sit laag. Hoog genoeg om die diff te clear met n rear hump sump natuurlik.
