Cool to see the end in site look forward to see how it fairs against a 100 series.:hmm:

Radiator and shroud are purdy

Night and day... I will play tug a war with any 100 series :D see who wins. Any takers??? Bueller anyone, Bueller?

Just comparing the stock output of the engines I'm fairly certain the 6.0 has a large advantage, as it should with a honda's worth of extra displacement.

You should post that in the 100 series section and wait for the riot to ensue. :grinpimp:
 
Speaking of tug-o-war, I cant believe this guy





Sorry for the hijack, carry on with the 6.0 install please :D

Ac and PS lines are done. Added high and low fittings into the lines as well. Used the 1" shorter Denso drier. The wiring is complete and all that is left is the radiator, exhaust and the custom tune :). Should have the radiator back next week hopefully had to make some needed changed!

Is that fitting in the AC line near the passenger side wheel well for the pressure sensor that the GM ECM uses to control the compressor?
yeah the one that I don't use but convert it to the high pressure port. The ac system works off the Toyota pressure sensor by the battery. Sent from my iPhone using IH8MUD

Interesting. Are you using the stock Toyota compressor? How do you get the engine to idle up when you turn the AC on?
adjust idle with the tune. With ac on it's not like the 1fz it doesn't bog the motor down

So you're basically just raising the idle a bit and not having the ECM communicate with the AC system?
The GM ecu senses load on the engine when compressor is turned on and adjusts idle accordingly. The hvac is all Toyota, only gm part is the ac compressor. Any other questions I can help you with! Good luck with your v8 conversion. Sent from my iPhone using IH8MUD

Did I miss this somewhere? I thought he was using the GM compressor and not have to deal with extra fabrication to install the Toyota unit on a GM engine. :confused:

No, I just got confused when he said the system was all Toyota and I've been reading all the V8 swap threads the past few days. I couldn't remember if that conversation was from this thread or a different one. I've also been doing a lot of reading on LS swaps in general and more specifically how to make the GM PCM recognize the request for AC and idle up the engine automatically. That function of the GM PCM seems to center around the sensor that was originally located in the port I was asking about.

So long as the weather cooperates my swap starts next weekend, so please forgive me for being overly inquisitive Rockjock.
