Exhaust Number 6
Between switching headers 3 times now and just not being satisfied with the sound I am now on exhaust system number 6. This latest exhaust is made up of the following components: Hooker long tube headers, 8101HKR. 1-7/8″ primaries, 3″ outlets. 3/8″ thick 3 bolt flanges on the header 3″ piping off the headers with…
Read MorePowerbond or SLP underdrive pulley removal
My new cam came in and everything was going fine until I got to the Powerbond under drive pulley. The stock LS1 balancer can be removed with a 3 jaw puller because it has some tabs on the insides of the spokes to hook to. On all these small aftermarket under drive pulleys you can’t…
Read MoreTechAFX blackwrap fuel line
Going back to a little simpler fuel setup meant I needed to build all new fuel lines. My old fuel setup was all Teflon hoses. With the near zero fuel permeation it really is the best choice for fuel hose. This time I went with TechAFX BlackWrap hose. This hose is a carbon lined conductive-core…
Read MoreNew headers
After having some problems with finding gaskets to seal the Sikky headers I bought a set of new Hooker Headers for LS1 swapped 240sx. They have flat flanges so they will seal against pretty much any gasket. If it is one thing I hate it is exhaust leaks. With that said I decided to go…

Since removing the fuel cell I’ve had a big hole to fill in the trunk area. I’ve installed a 4″ deep sheet metal pan in the trunk to fill the hole. It dropped right into the box tubing surround from the fuel cell. I’ve welded it in and seam sealed the bottom side. It should…
Read MoreFuel Cell Removal
I decided to pull the Fuel Safe ED115 fuel cell out of the car and go back to the stock tank. The main reason was that these racing cells do not have a permeation barrier. They also use cork gaskets. That leads to a slight smell of fuel all the time. All that is fine…
Read MoreNew Spring and Summer Build
I’ve decided this year to focus on making the car a little more friendly to drive. So a custom grind smaller cam is on the way, the fuel cell has been pulled out, and I’m adding catalytic converters to the exhaust. I’ll post up pictures as new parts start to come in. Here are some…
Read MoreLS1 A/C Installation pictures
The LS1 A/C system is pretty easy to get working in a 240SX. The only real issue is the fact that Nissan used special fittings going into the evaporator under the dash. I took the old Nissan lines and cut them off. I bought some low temp brazing rod and attached standard A/C bead lock…
Read More97 240SX with F-body LS1 Air Conditioning Wiring
I’ve recently completed my fully functional air conditioning system. I am using the factory LS1 ECU and sensors to control the system. Wiring the LS1 side is easy. The Nissan dash wiring took a bit to figure out. Here is the final diagram of how I have it wired. The A/C button on the dash…
