OutToWinPAHC's LS6/T56 s13.5 (no longer my car)

[OutToWinPAHC]

2010 plans

-T56 installed- Metal fenders and hood because this fiberglass stuff sucks (RaceoneUSA, your products are trash)- Coilovers, (Endura Tech, or PBM Something that still allows for the rear to go high with drag wheels and radials)- Spare engine- Saving for Boost (Supercharger)

[C3Sierra_S2000]

I've been happy with my Endura Tech's so far. I'm looking at getting some super soft springs for the rear to get some squat for drag racing. I have some 150lb springs on the shelf I might try. I will let ya know how it works out.

Picked it up at the freight terminal today.

transzilla is here.

[Didderson]

Glad you went with an alum. flywheel yes? Did you end up going with stage 3 or 3+?Going to be an insane setup!

[OutToWinPAHC]

Trans package came with a Spec 2+ and aluminum Fidanza flywheel, by spec is sending me a Stage 3 Clutch and steel flywheel under sponsorship.

Steel because its a street / strip car, if I drifted or did autocross I would use aluminum.

[OutToWinPAHC]

OrderedARP flywheel boltsARP LSx Block to T56 studs/nutsHurst Shifter ball (white)OEM style black shifter boot (ebay fits perfect and was cheap)

Also ordered the Daft Innovations Wilwood CMC, -4an SS line, have the pedals, have the shifter bezel, got a new center console because mine was cut for the old shifter.

So once all the parts are here, its time to get her mounted. Hopefully the crossmember modding will go easy and not require making a new one from scratch. I also gotta take a final measurement on the DS so that I can have it shortened approx 3-3.3 inches, then rebalanced.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Did some rear main seal homework. Original seal needed a special too to install it, but was changed later on. So no need for a $300.00 tool to install the rear main seal anymore.

Ordered a new OEM seal, and rear cover gasket from Thunder Racing.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Shelly from Spec clutch just emailed. The clutch and flywheel package was shipped this afternoon.

I also received my Wilwood clutch master cylinder, adapter plate and clutch line today from Daft Innovations. I didn't know but the clutch master uses the push rod removed from a stock S13/S14 clutch master. So I need to dig one of those up.

I am also going to buy an unfinished T56 S13 crossmember from daft. Because my swap was not done with a kit I don't know if the one off the shelf will line up with the trans mount holes. So they are going to send it with the plate unwelded so all I have to do is tach it in place and weld it where I need it.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Got a clutch push rod off an 1990 maxima, fits perfect. I also got the brake and clutch pedal in tonight.

Next will be doing the rear main seal and mounting the flywheel/clutch when it arrives.

Just saw the order pass by my desk yesterday!!! Congrats dude.. Let me know when you get it in and what you think of it!

[OutToWinPAHC]

Nice Justin.....

I have a business trip next week so when I'm back I will have a candy land of parts to install. I am gonna make some videos of me fighing the car back together too.

I also need to mail out my driveshaft. Thedriveshaftshop.com is going to be making the mods and shortening it for me. Awesome price too

[OutToWinPAHC]

Lol myspace.... Someone has seriously offered their girlfriend for sex in exchange to drive my car while I am with their girl.... lol

[safin]

[JustDriftMore]

I see you took advantage of that myspace offer

[AZ89two4Tsx]

You post without any pants on too?

Nice!

[OutToWinPAHC]

nah thats the basement and my pile of working on the car clothes.

[OutToWinPAHC]

I did the rear main seal, and rear cover gasket today. The LS series has a removable rear engine cover that channels the oil from the head down the back of the block and into the oil pan. So to do the rear main seal you just have to remove that rear cover and replace the seal there. I couldn't get the old pilot bearing out today, so I am going to but a puller in the morning. I also have to source a box for the DS. I need to send it out for shortening / balancing still. The transmission crossmember should be here Monday.

Tomorrow -Pilot bearing remove and installed.Torque and RTV rear coverInstalled flywheelRhinoline the trans tunnel

[OutToWinPAHC]

[Jables]

Congrats on the pilot bearing... Sorry i didn't have any other options for you.. What did you end up doing to get it out?

[OutToWinPAHC]

I got creative..... zerothread?id=473258

[Initial_R90]

Yeah 3 gears on the highway sucked.

heh you will like the t-56 so much more when I had mine I could never figure out why you put a th350 in yours beside for the strip.the six speed unlocks the car i think.

make sure you replace the slave be4 you put it in mine went bad and it was a b**** to change had to bleed it like every day to get it to go into gear in the cold

[Initial_R90]

let me know when you break my record i topped out 5th on 95 coming back from the great american pub

[OutToWinPAHC]

Its seen 137 with the TH350.

[sx moneypit]

Kevin, hate to be off topic but check your e- mail .Thanks

[Flicktitty]

Yeah 3 gears on the highway sucked.

not trying to go too far off topic, but What rpm was the car at on the freeway (say 65-70mph with the th350) Also what gear was in the car when the th350 was in it?
