89 911 LS1 Conversion

[Yan2947]

Thank you very much. I have already started one at:

1980 911 SC Slantnose 383 Stroker Conversion

Just slow getting things started.

Bob, this may give you some ideas on how I found room for my air intake on my 89 911 LS1.

Yan,
thanks. is that using the RH intake?

I did get it from renegade hybrids. Most of the part that you can’t see which is not Rubber but Hard cast. I believe the person who created it was toyjet but I don’t remember 100%. The rest of the turns that I have are my own silicone rubber hoses with 90s to get it out-of-the-way. That is to get the air cleaner filter out of the way.

... well just read everything.. amazing work. Thank you for continuing to post. Looking to start my LS swap project as soon as I find my donor. Glad you're still enjoying the ride. -Ian

Thanks and good luck! Just bought a fender mounded oil cooler for the car. I sold the original when I did the conversion. Looking to lower temps a little on super hot days. Will post some results once I have done that.

Here is a photo of my heater setup. I know that a lot of things in this build are big bucks so this is my two cents on a heater system that is not so "big bucks"... and seems to work so far. Some of the fittings were changed in the final fitting to get the correct fit with the hoses.



And I didn't use the fan setup on the left side yet. I wanted to see if the footwell blowers would be enough. The tip of my heater core setup goes into each of the wheel wells. (I have two of these in total - one on each heater duct) I could add a 90 or a 270 degree silicone hose at the end of the heater core to point the air that is coming into the core towards the front of the car or front of the wheel well...

Yan-
To clarify, the air inlet to the barrel is pulling in air from the wheel well? If so, is it being filtered? If not, where is the air being pulled from?
Thanks

Kevin, from the wheel well area. I get no gases in the car when using the heater. You can modify it to get air wherever you want by extending a silicone pipe or whatever to get intake through the barrel. Simple and really heats well.
