Haven’t done much. Been pretty lazy. But it’s out. Ian is doing enough for all of us.
Finish the ice tank drain today and finally got my surge tank mounted.
Have a few more fittings coming so once I get them I’ll buckle down and finish off the rest of the system.
Been doing some reading and been told that despite what everyone says that the eflex sensor should be on the flow line. Not the return. Makes sense and that’s how it’s done in the states.
Anyhow found this. Thinking I might buy it and do the same.
May 26, 2019 at 8:01 pm #28758Also got my steam port kit mounted and fitted. Was a pain in the ass actually. It’s meant to be installed when the blower is off. So I had to pull it all apart. Ran out of locktite so I used some Teflon. For now I think its neat enough, but I’ll prob re do it in the week.
May 27, 2019 at 11:03 am #28760I really like the look of the copper piping, but i think it would look better in a rat rod or hot rod style of vehicle.
I reckon paint it white or silver, your choice though.

Posts: 775That surge tanks looks sexy don’t it , regarding your steam ports did you drill the rear one out I pretty sure mine are blocked , Is there any reason why you chose to change the windage try and not use the lsa one I have the ls1 and lsa and there is not much difference
also thanks for the link on the plug kit from precision turned up today

May 27, 2019 at 7:47 pm #28775Yeah they are a work of art, and so they should for the price LOL
You just punch them out with a nail punch. They are small rivets. When I flush the system they will come out.
Thought a modified is better then stock so why not.
No Probs on the link
June 2, 2019 at 5:44 pm #28809I saw someone reference a hp tuners thread/Facebook post? that dale(castle hill) was talking about having the flex sensor In the feed line?
I can only assume that you also saw it. I can’t say any of the literature(gm) or factory manuals have said that it needs to be installed in the feed. The only reasoning I could figure GM did that to all ls flex equipped vehicles was they were dead head anyway.
I did stumble across an accumulated thread below which has some technical data.

June 2, 2019 at 7:19 pm #28815Haha yeah I was the first to comment on that thread. Was an eye opener for me.
Thats a good find you have there I’ll dilverge into it a little deeper.
On the CTSV they are all on the fuel rails. Just before the inlet.

Posts: 775That’s a different way of doing it , what size line did you end up using
June 8, 2019 at 8:20 am #28857It’s 1/2inch .9 wall stainless.
I still have to add all the bulkhead fittings and flare. But I’ll make them up and polish before I flare.
June 16, 2019 at 9:28 pm #28914Got back out there and finished the boot install.
Was waiting on my Rigid Flare tool. Which I needed to buy to do 37degree flares.
Anyways all finish….For now…..
June 16, 2019 at 10:06 pm #28916MUCH better than the copper, looks mint!
June 16, 2019 at 10:12 pm #28918Fuel system was always going to be stainless. Has to be. Fingers crossed engineer likes it.
Under the car will be the next battle. There will be a lot going on with 2x filters and the Flex sensor

Posts: 585Running the lines under the car is a prick of a job, especially with no hoist. Trying to pick locations for everything is a pain as well, how you’ll run the exhaust will impact where to mount the lines, filters etc.

Yeah I did it all on my back. Suprisingly I nailed it first go all in one length with hard drawn. Just need to flare each end and adapt to 200 series speedflow.

Posts: 5 777Why did you run the lines over the battery connections? Wouldn’t it have been better to turn the surge tank 180 degrees?.
June 17, 2019 at 11:53 am #28926Easier to access it that way. Facing the other way is a pain as cage is on way. This way I can do it from folding down rear seat.

Posts: 5 777Cool, cheers, I guess realistically you are hardly going to do anything with them once they are done.
