Not really. I did get a harness and ECM that has been reworked for a ls1 type intake. TRYING to save up for the cast turbo manifold I want. That is all.

Well kinda a progress update. Sold the turbo. Work is slow right now. Almost had the money for the turbo manifold and had to spend money on a unexpected large bill. So we are going to get the truck running and driving and then deside if we still want the turbo or not. So the truck should be on the road faster. Need intake and fuel system. What are people using for headers now?

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

Schoenfeld headers for LS1 swap for 89-98 trucks. Lots of people say they fit just right.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

Ordered a ls1 intake and throttle body and maf sensor. Need to find some stock ls1 type injectors cheap.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

IIRC the cars used the EV6 plugs, tall narrow injectors. You can use the Blue F*rd SVO injectors. They run about 39-42lb/hr at our rail pressures. I'm running a set on my lq4 right now (trucks came with a MultecII clip instead)

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

I found injectors tps iac and pulley relocation kit to put car in take on a truck motor. And a maf. Looks like all I need is air filter and pipes. And fuel and exhaust. I have 5 different boxes coming to me. I should lay off the ordering stuff for a while.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

Did you buy the injector clips as well?

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

No. If you are talking about the clips that hold the injector to the rail. The intake is coming with billet fuel rails. I am pretty sure i dont need them. I do infact need the clips that hold the injector electical connector on to the injector. 4 of mine are missing.

I found these on line. Does any one have any idea if they will work?

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

Got intake and fuel rails today. Looks really clean. I also love the color on the fuel rails. It is like a gun metal color.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

I meant the EV6 electrical connectors, since the old truck setup would have used the MultecII clips (unless you had the harness setup for car/ev6 injectors in the first place.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

The harness I am using i was told is made to work with ls1 intake. When he told me that I figured that ment they kept the truck injector plugs. Boy was I wronge. It has ev1 injector connectors with the fancy metal wire retainers that 4 are missing and I can't find anyware.

Is this the connector you are looking for:

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

I get injector connectors at the local boneyard. Pretty much any GM EFI car from the 90s/2000s have them.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

like he said the late 90's early 2000's stuff should have it, and you can check the F*rds there as well; the connector is not proprietary to the brand.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

They are like the ones in the top link but i really dont want to pay that much to just take the metal spring clip thing out.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

I got my dirtydingo idler relocation kit today. I trimmed the bracket way down and bolted it on. Works prety nice. But my throttle body still hits the water pump hose connection. I have heard new truck water pumps will work with ls1 intake. I looked at wifes water pump on her 08 and it LOOKS like it will work. My suburban needs a water pump anyways so I am gonna get one for hers and put the old style on my burb and the new one on this truck. I would not want to do the grinding i did with out air tools. It took a while with them could not imagine doing it without them.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

Got my fuel injectors!

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

Slow day at work today so i stayed home. Busted out the wire wheel and went to town. The motor looks 100% better. Now the ls1 intake will actually look good on it.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

well then........you ought to clean up and paint that firewall and power booster while you're at it! :lol:

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

I will when i pull the motor to paint it. This swap will be much cleaner then my suburbans swap. I hope it runs better too. I should have all the vss crap worked out by then.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

oh ...your just mocking things up right now?

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

Yes. Cause i was not really sure where to put the turbo stuff. Yall like the crazy scrathes in the fire wall. I bet the chain broke or something when the po put the motor in. Cause the ac box was also crushed in.

The only thing i dont know what to do with is the exhaust. I really dont want to spend 600 bucks on doug thorlys again to put a trubo on it later possibly.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

Schoenfelds? <$300

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

Plus the coating at 250 or so. I found some shortys for camaros that are 199 and they are stainless I am trying to make up my mind about.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
 

I wouldn't worry with coating them. But that's just me. Would offer better performance than shorties, too.
