Boy this is going to be no fun whatsoever. The kid we are helping bought this car, and its his first stick shift, first corvette, and drove it with the clutch to the floor for some time. We should start charging people for assisting them here in Oahu.

Sorry to bring back an older thread. Going to be doing a 03 ZO6 clutch on Saturday, and tips and tricks (pics too) would be great.
I will be using a lift, air tools etc. Putting an LS-7 clutch, flywheel, pressure plate etc etc.

Steves car is not a ZR1. i just have the same size tires.
There is one on island here for cheap too(40th Ann ZR-1 in the 30's), I just question the individual selling it.

Will, I know you have at least 3-4 tenths easily in that set up. Look at your 60 foot times. If you were to get it down to 1.5/ 1.6's you would be tapping on the 10's
My 93 weighs 3330, 396 lt1 and with a smaller camshaft (544/555 230/236) and auto with 3.75 gears and a 2800 rpm stall, I was running 11.6's with a 1.7 60' time. A friend with the same engine, camshaft and 6-speed runs 11.2's. But, his 60 times are 1.5- 1.6 and he leaves at around 4500rpm. So, IMHO you are easily high 10's.

You wont get a code for an IAC. When dealing with my 93 for 15 plus years, I had idle issues and finally an older gentlemen showed me the drawing that shows you how to test your IAC. The ECM will only who you what the ECM is telling the IAC it needs it to do, not what it is actually doing. Never understood that.
http://shbox.com/1/iac2.jpg On the 92 there are a few vacuum areas to look at on the manifold, other than that, there isnt much to cause this. i would say the IAC is bad. And if it has been taken out and twisted or pushed in, it will break easily.

I am getting ready to pull my LT1 intake off too as one cylinder is running rich or its oil. I am having one side BLMs pull fuel, and I read where aboatguy had an intake leak and it was causing a blm split. I cant understand how the intake leaks oil into the heads so easily.
PS, you got pics of the gasket and oil

Thats where I adjusted mine. The FSM has a great picture of the area down there to adjust. There is a lot of plastic within our column. be careful when adjusting as the piece within the top portion, turn signal/high beam lever, is real weak, and CHEAP plastic. Wish we could have the foot pedal high beam switch.

I say your valve seals are installed wrong. take a valve cover off and see if any are not all the way down on the head. If they werent installed correctly, they will back off the head and ride the valve and allow oil into the chamber.
Just did a motor a couple weeks ago and forgot to push/tap them(valve stem seals) on the head during spring change.

Andy, I just had my 02 CRV timing belt replaced. 716 bucks, but I know it was well worth it, as the cost later would/could have been more.
Advice giving is tough. i can see where you feel you really want to help someone. Case in point. Friend destroyed his '10 Camaro SS Friend wants new one, asks us what we think. We went through the whole routine of, "that dealer sux as they tried to screw you on your known TSB for your drive shaft issue. They tried to make him buy a new one as the known bolt issue was broken. After we showed him the TSB, driveshaft was replaced for free". To make a long story short, he bought an '11 Camaro SS from the same dealership at a much higher interest rate. He is paying over 3% more interest and paying Hawaii cost for this car. And, he still thinks Gieco is going to keep his rates low. So, no more advice to him. We told him buy in another state, and something other than a sports car, especially after totaling one. DONE, DONE!! I have been biting my tongue on allot of things lately. Too each his own.

If you doublick on the graph selections you can change it to read the "AC" data , which is the wide band data as you changed it. This is after you changed the custom data to reflect changing/converting the ac pressure to read actual wideband vice the ac. It does show the AC pressure in the graph now as I tried it.

From what I read, you just unplug the AC switch and put the wire/s into it as a reference. But if there is another place to tap the signal, great.

Here is the write up from camaroz28.com
"Since I have not seen or heard of any actual information on how to log WBO2 signal thru the stock PCM with Datamaster, I decided to share my knowledge and do a “tutorial” kind of writeup on this subject, the way I have made it to work. Please note, that I don’t take any responsibility for this information, and this is applying to the Innovate LC-1 wideband setup, which has a linear, programmable 0-5V analog output. If you have a different WBO2 controller, you should check for these features, and you should recalculate the equation below with the relevant AFR vs Voltage figures. The purpose of this project is to log RPM and other relevant engine data with WBO2 signal at the same time, in the same program, so it would enable to plot a synchronized AFR vs. RPM table for WOT fueling calibration. There are different ways to log these parameters with so called “aux boxes”, but since I was too cheap to buy the extra (and way overpriced IMHO) rpm signal stuff, and didn’t want to deal with too much extra cables and connections, I decided to give it try thru the stock PCM. So, here’s a list of equipment you will need: - OBDI ALDL cable (from akmcables.com or moates.net) - Datamaster EE from TTS (a trial version can be downloaded at ttspowersystems.com) - WBO2 controller with programmable, linear 0-5V analog output. (your choice) - computer (obviously) We need to feed the 0-5V output of the WBO2 controller to a 0-5V analog input in the PCM. The best choice is the A/C pressure sensor, since it is not used for normal engine operation, and most of you have probably already deleted A/C. After you have wired in the wideband controller and it is fully working, hook up the wideband controller analog output signal wire and the analog output ground wire to the relevant A/C pressure sensor connectors. The unused sensor connector can be used for a really clean install. Now comes the tricky part. If you check it in Datamaster, the A/C pressure field will show PSI values which we’ll need to convert to AFR. According to the datastream information for ’94-’95 LT1 F-cars, byte #30 is for A/D RESULT FROM A/C PRESSURE TRANSDUCER. This byte reports raw data called “N” which we’ll need to convert first to Volts, then to AFR. Conversion function according to the datastream information is VOLTS = 5N/255, from which we get the integer VOLTS= 0.019608*N. Now, that we’ve got the conversion of raw data to volts, we need to figure out the relevant AFR values. The default analog output of the LC-1 is 0V=7.35 AFR and 5V=22.39 AFR. Since this is a linear output, we can easily calculate the relevant graph equation, which is AFR=3.008V+7.35. Note: if you have a different wideband controller with different Volts vs AFR relation, you need to calculate the correct linear equation! Replacing V with the integer above, we get AFR=(3.008*0.0196)*N + 7.35 which equals AFR=0.05896*N + 7.35 ; this function will convert raw data N to AFR. Now we need to program and display this information into Datamaster, for which we’ll use the Custom Data feature. Click View > Custom Data. On the “Custom Engine Data Display” panel, double click on the first row - Check “Variable Enabled” box, this will enable to display our custom engine data - Byte Number: 30, this is the byte # in the PCM datastream responsible for A/C pressure raw data “N” - Information: Air / Fuel Ratio, or anything up to you - Variable Name: Wideband O2 - Units: AFR - Gain: 0.05896 ; this is the value from our function above to multiply with raw data “N” - Offset: 7.35 ; this is the offset value from our function above that is added to the Gain integer - Data Type: INT ; select this as this value is an integer - Display Format: 0.00, this will show values of up to 2 decimals Click OK, you are done! You are now able to see WBO2 AFR and RPM at the same time, with all other engine information. Use your favorite dyno tuning spreadsheets to determine new values for the PE tables.

Lesson learned on ASR. Do it exactly as the FSM says. When you adjust on 92/93's you are also adjusting your TV cable. This is critical for your automatic transmission fluid pressure and for the life of the transmission.
I did my adjustment many times when I did the transmission rebuild/reinstall. It was off a bit. How I found out was I did the adjustment with the transmission pan off. According to Dana at Probuilt, it wasnt right. I had to adjust it a little more so the TV valve was open at full throttle, which ensures proper pressure in the tranny. I think the cable was a little stretched, maybe.

Maintenance is critical on laptops. Keep air vents clean, do disk clean ups, and defragmentation at a minimum.
get a reliable virus company you like to keep virus definitions up to date, and I also use malwarebytes to keep a check on that sort of thing too.

After going to notebookreviews.com and really starting to see who really builds laptops etc, 2 companies actually do, I finally got good advice and am going to buy from this site, which links you directly to HP (if you click on their coupons). http://www.logicbuy.com/subcategoryde ... omputers/119/Laptops.aspx
Reliability is important, and SAGER is what I am getting next from xoticpc, customer service, support and reliability is key here.

I read an old link on another forum where a guy wired a Innovative LC-1 Wideband signal into his AC pressure signal which allowed the TTS datamaster tuning program to read a wideband signal. Seems straight forward. Just curious if anyone has done anything similar for tuning there C4's.
If I can post the link I will. Andy? Can I? Its not the CF forum.

I remember drag racing a Chevelle with Drum brakes. You want to talk about FADE... After two or three runs at 110 plus MPH, you need to drive around and let them slowly cool. They were useless.

I think when people change from the factory 12 inch rotor to a J55, they see a huge change because the 12 inch rotors/calipers/fluid and pads were old and not really working well. So upgrading they felt a great change. just saying.

The real question is, how many times can you do it though, before those fancy 6 pistons become a non luxury, but necessary. LOL

great article. The Blanchard grounding process was something someone told me to do years ago. Most brake places gave me the dear in headlight look. Maybe a machine shop would have been more appropriate. here is another thread with pictures etc and explanation on this process. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsch ... hard-grinding-rotors.html

Doesnt the DRM brake bias spring alleviate some of this? Regardless, I was happy that I wasnt warping rotors anymore.

Simple. jack car up, turn wheel to allow access. Take cotter pin out, uncrew nut. Losen tie rod at inner tie rods connection, MARK it. Then push or tap tie rod out of knuckle, then unscrew it off. Reverse for install. Torque nut to 35 ft/lbs for tie rod ball joint.
Tighten nut up to tie rod. I would recommend doing both at same time, so they are equally tight. And then get it aligned.

Adjustment with RR's is critical, especially with COMP CAMS lifters. But, what kind of lock down nut do these have? Are they like factory, or a jam nut.
Also, what camshaft are you running? Sometimes the springs with rollers cause ticking. Mine ticks all the time, with Beehive 918s, 555 lift cam, fast ramps and Crower SS 1.6 Enduro II roller rockers. Mine is 1/4 turn past zero lash, cold with GM lifters.

I think it is a valid upgrade. I went from the factory 12 inch rotors, to GS calipers and rotors, then to C5 brakes on my C4. I warped the C4 stuff fairly easy, at autocrossing and when trying to slow down from 120 mph runs at the drag strip.
I have had ss lines,good brake fluid in all set ups, and only two tires, BFG KD's and Firestone SZ50's. I have used several different pads. if I wasnt racing the J55/GS set up with new fluid and Hawk pads are just fine. For HPDE, spend the money on real brake system. Unless you do it once or twice a year. Also, the C6 calipers are better than the C5's as they tend to spread easily on HPDE type events.

I dont recall me saying anything about a blown 427 and a D44. I thought he is talking 427 NA (LS-7)in this thread, that is why I said, "without reading the whole thread". I have seen D44's run mid 10's, with no issues, but that is beside the point

Without reading the whole thread, i would pick Guldstrands brain. You know they did their 93 Correctly, with 6 speed and LS-6. Looked factory. I bet they got help from GM too.
The LS-7 is a great idea, 427, 6 speed. Sweet. I would first get the suspension and driveline ready to handle the engine. That way you are prepared as it is a torque monster, as well as high HP engine. Its a hobby, and its better than drugs or alcohol, so do it the way you want as it is your car.
