Sold it !! Thanks to everyone for the tips I've received to keep this bi**h on the road . Enjoyed it? mixed feelings about the LS could have been SO good but just missed the mark on too many points . Someone on here called it BMW pricing with Yugo quality parts and that hits the mark pretty...

Your problems sound like mine...vacuum leak was the root of it all ., wouldn't idle and the pcm dumped enough extra gas into the motor trying to even the mixture out that it was fouling the plugs and eventually stopped up the cat. Check the rubber adapter that comes out of the motor at the back...

TN , gen1 . I had worried that the alternator might not output enough for the fan but have had no issues at all . The fan puked on me exactly one week after the warranty ran out lol how do they time that? Dropped another one in there using the same setup , a hayden , from oreilleys with longer...

Ok I bought some of these and after examining them and seeing how they set and fit in the wheel I just wouldn't recommend them. They seem well made and the seller was quick but the shape just doesn't fit the stock lugnut well. it is a cone that winds up riding against an almost square shoulder...

thought i would report in on my electric fan conversion. I wound up buying an inexpensive universal cooling fan from advance auto , don't remember the brand. I mounted it inside the original shroud ,similar to the OP, trimming all the mounting tabs and whatnot out of the shroud , made an adapter...

I just left mine plugged in ; cut the hydraulic hoses loose and joined them in a circle with hose barbs. Now it runs along doing nothing and the 'car' doesn't know the difference

Agreed , I despise hearing vocals come from behind me. I wouldn't go to a concert and turn my back to the band and face the back of the arena would anybody? The best sounding auto system I ever built was in a chevy astro van , they have 5.25 speaker cutouts in the dash with an amp pushing...

i am in the midst of hydraulic to electric conversion and yes you can just loop the input and return hoses ; they have the same id . Just get a double hose barb and let it run in a loop. I'm getting adventurous since I am in no hurry to get this done. 108degree temps all weekend every weekend...

thanks

does anybody have any advise on how to properly bleed the ls coolant system?

I found this forum looking for answers to my overheating issues and have found a bunch of help , thanks to all. I don't know why so many are concerned about controlling fan speed on an electric conversion tho , just run it full blast . Not like its going to overcool the motor or anything

I inherited an ls with a bad hyd fan and I can tell you these cars overheat faster than anything I have ever seen , 30-60 seconds after I slow under 45 mph this thing pegs the temp gauge and boils over. I suspect too small coolant capacity and hardly any grill opening for airflow

does anyone know if the later model higher output alternators will 'bolt right in' to the older generation cars? My '02 ls is overheating at low speeds and i suspect hydraulic fan malfunction .; I am going to add an aftermarket electric fan but have been told the stock alternator is too wimpy to...
