Re: Replace 1hz with ls1

Can always boost ya 1HZ and not bother with teh expnse of a LS1 conversion... that truck that past you is probably a tanker with teh fuel you needed to run and LS1 anyways!!!

white smoke is unburned fuel. My guess it's not enough compression for the amount of fuel injected on start up. Is this correct? Engine speed and power is governed by the amount of fuel injected.Wouldnt excess fuel just cause the engine to run at higher RPM? I thought excess fueling would show up ...

give it a shot, it's something I've wanted to do to see if there are performance gains to be had, but it's probably not such a hot idea. indirect injected diesels need high compression and high gas velocity to ensure good swirl and combustion, and although you will achieve that with boost and ...

High flowing 1HZ pre comp chambers??

HI, After figuring out the limitations of pre combustion chambers on a boosted 1HZ head, I figured that high flowing or "porting" the pre combustion chamber so it created less resistance woudl be the go.

Low voltage from high Beam switch

hey.
My 80 now seems to be only outputting 4V from the high beam switch instead of the 12.5 going onto it.

Had the whole thing apart down to the box n wires... any fix or is it just worn out? Can I buy just that box and re solder the wires up? Anyone know where and on the cheep?
