LT1 Alternator Only Low Mount

944-LT1 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:21:45 GMT

Just before I threw this out, I decided to scan it for others who have the LT engines. The scribbling is parts numbers and PN interchanges. Maybe this helps someone?

LT1 radiator

Phatjimmy — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:36:26 GMT

I have an LT1 in an 83 944 with the ron davis radiator plus a remote oil cooler. Will the turbo radiator buy me anything? I'm in florida and the summers are pretty hot. The present set up hasn't been cutting it. Any comments welcome.

Waterpump Question For MK / LT1

944v8inDFW — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:27:15 GMT

http://944hybrids.forumotion.com/gallery/Personal-album-of-944-LT1/coolant-route-2-sized-pic_41.htm I am helping a guy long distance do a LT1 conversion and he has a question about hose routing looking at a drawing in your gallery. I remember the discussion on the old board before the turd burglars took it over. Anyway you have a picture of a F body pump in your gallery that shows the third nipple hooking to the accumulator tank hose. Is that the current / latest thinking when using ...

Proper way to set valve lash

bluehellfire666 — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:09:53 GMT

hey all, it's nice to see some familiar faces! i found this out the other day when i started the car and heard a horrendous tapping from the top end...i pulled the valve covers off and found all of the nuts loose, and two almost backed off of the rockers on the left side. I found out that there are several ways to set valve lash, one way is to set tdc and adjust 8 of the valves, and then rotate the engine 180 and set the other 8. HOWEVER, i learned that with an aftermarket cam, or even ...

Twin turbo with log manifolds

speedracing944 — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 23:44:25 GMT

So I saw the thread regarding a early 944 with the Callaway turbo conversion and was intrigued by how compact the turbo setup was on the car. They utilized a log manifold directed towards the back of the engine and mounted the turbo and wastegate near the rear of the motor. This got me to thinking... What if I create a log manifold which hugs the head and travels to the front of the engine where it would terminate into the turbo and wastegate. There would be logs and turbos on each bank ...

Why Sanderson header, why?

RobotMachines — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 01:31:07 GMT

I was trying to decide to post on PHB or here but since 944-LT1 is here; here is where I shall post my ramblings... been awhile since I rambled. Now it could have been my custom stailess exhaust pulling on the header that made it crack but I kind of doubt it since I used flex pipes on both sides. Could be that RH ground off the Sanderson plate but that may be unfounded. Either way, I am pulling out the passenger side Sanderson header to re-weld the collector area. I tried to weld ...

"Best" LT1??

ykalinin — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:12:06 GMT

Hey, Long time lurker, recent member and since I'm starting to actually work on getting the parts I need for the swap, I thought I'd throw this out there since I haven't found a lot of information regarding ym specific question. I want to use an LT1 because they seem to be significantly more plentiful and less expensive than any of the LS blocks. That said, is there a specific version of the LS1 that lends itself to the conversion. Should I go w/ an earlier block and pcm that uses OD1 or ...

Hood clearance

msmoorenburg — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:08:32 GMT

Here are a few pictures of my hood clearance without shims on the xmember. I plan to put a hood scoop on the car when I find one I like, But my question is has anyone run the lt1 setup without shims and just modding the hood rib. After the rib is removed I believe I will have about a 1/4 inch of clearance for motor movement. And comments?

removing a porsche harness

vundba — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 12:51:45 GMT

I've seen articles stating that the LT1 is a stand alone harness and that I can remove all of the Porsche harness but my biggest fear is how and where do I do this.I don't just want to take a big pair
of shears and hack it off only to find out that there was this one wire that I needed.Do I just remove everything from the back of the fuse panel ?

944 turbo or 85.5 na

tooms351 — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 14:17:53 GMT

Hi folks, I'm going to look at an 86 turbo with a thrown rod (owner thinks), is it worth swapping the sbc from my basically stock 85.5? Are the handling and brakes that much better? At 180k mi. the owner says the trans has been changed,is there any way to tell if it's a turbo trans while in the car? do they all have coolers? My car has lsd and I don't wanna give it up which is another reason for this post,well thats it thanks![img][/img]

bluehellfire666 — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 17:35:13 GMT

time for something else to go wrong with my conversion...this is definitely not supposed to happen on a new alternator...lucky i have a 1 year warranty so i can get a new one for free...but i'm going to go ahead and buy a new Powermaster, maybe it will last better.....

Taurus fan

Phatjimmy — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 20:29:33 GMT

Anybody have the Dimensions of the taurus fan. The depth or clearance I need between the radiator and the motor is what i'm after. I have the ron davis radiator and i think a spal fan. It's just not cutting it (or cooling it) here in july in orlando. The fan I have is pretty low profile and i don't have much room. The pics i see of the Taurus fan make it appear to have "thicker" motor.

Recently I posted this elsewhere... "Megasquirt has finally reached out to the "Opti-impaired", sort-of...But without a reluctor ring for the LT1. Guess that's up to me... You can build an MS system for about what the GM PCM and flash costs. The EDIS-8 (Ford V8) coil pack complete system (including crank sensor) can be bought used or new, and that leaves the reluctor ring, which will bolt onto the face of the LT1 balancer." I have found a SECOND "OptiCrap" ...

Old Board new Owners

Dawgz83948 — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 03:37:30 GMT

Has anyone visited the old site. Apparently it was RH that now ownes it. Also there was accusations about stealing unpatented (thus unprotected) designs even though he admits there were changes made to them. I was reading about intelectual property (by extension copywritten products) and only artistic creations (music, art, movies etc) are protected by copyright, but businesses that created a design for something (aka bellhousing adapters, engine mount uprights) are not protected unless they ...

rh oil pan leaks?

tooms351 — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 23:08:26 GMT

Hi everyone, first off Thanks, this board kicks a** and I'm glad for the new and specific meeting place! I've been chasing an oil leak for a while now and wonder if anyone has this problem with their rh pan. Theres a right side leak but only at high rpm, between 5k and 6k, I've changed the valve cover gasket (not that) I don't think it's the dipstick, could it be the front seal or side gasket? Its really hard to pinpoint, by the time I get the engine up that high the oil mists or burns on the ...

New hybrid forum

craighardy — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:35:35 GMT

I've started a new hybrid forum that is open to all cars with any type of engine swap. This isn't meant to replace forums like this one. It's meant as a gathering place for all car guys/girls to show the world what they have built. Some people have not seen a conversion like yours so lets show them what you have built! Check out the user garage section.
