Race against the clock. take look please.
 
Have less than 24 hours to get my hands on a set of o2 extensions and a block-off plate for the intake manifold before 5PM tomorrow.


Can a NJFBOA member in North or Central NJ help?




*edit*
it's for a LS1 motor

NastyEllEssWon 06-24-2009 06:53 PM

Block of plate for the intake? EGR?

sweetbmxrider 06-24-2009 07:08 PM

I made a temporary blockoff plate with snips and a sheet of metal that can be had in home depot... and you can extend the O2 harness yourself... just dont snip all the wires in one shot.

Thanks. That's a good back up plan.

I'd rather do it right the first time with the correct parts and only improvise as a last resort...


Night Crew?

How many miles are on the car? If your in a real jam, just order the o2's for a c5 vette and you'll be in business. The wires are longer on them and eliminates the need for extensions. Don't extend the wires using a DIY method....moisture will find it's way in there eventually.

this is what i did. got them from the Napa warehouse in Plainfield. They had them in stock. Call around, if memory serves me correctly, they are Bosch 13111.

88,xxx on the car.

I'm with ya on the moisture... especially considering the weather we've had so far. (I watched a shot glass worth of rain water pour out of my DRL housing when I changed the 2nd burnt blinker bulb this week) :banghead:

same problem here. I changed it friday night, and by sunday is was burnt out again. Make sure there is a gasket on the blinker or make ur own with rtv...so far so good here.

Vinnie- Thanks for the tip. I'll make sure to do that!

I'm gonna call the autozone where I'm supposed to pick up the exhaust manifold gaskets from from tomorrow & see if they carry C5 o2 sensors.


Any one know where I can pick up Block Off Plates?

IIRC, they are illigal to sell in NJ...

Mike 06-25-2009 12:15 AM

Well that sucks...


How big is the hole? Maybe I can temporarily plug it somehow using something from the hardware store?

What he said, get yourself a set of REAR O2's from a C5 and be done with it.

Post up on LS1tech, I bought mine years ago off a guy that made them...of course I couldn't tell you his name since it was back when I had my LS1 Z...but someone should have some laying around.

Thanks, Frosty. I'd post up a note on Tech, but since we only have about oh...15hrs(?) until "Go-Time," I'm not sure how much help Tech would be. (most aren't local, and shipping would take too long)

then get to work

NastyEllEssWon 06-25-2009 03:35 AM

3 bucks worth of wires and a few dollars for a cheap sodaring kit and your in business. as for the blockoff plate you might wanna call a performance shop that works on ls1s a lot...ttp or js performance might have one laying around

JL8Jeff 06-25-2009 06:48 AM

You can easily make a blockoff plate from some of the metal they sell at Home Depot or the hardware store. As long as you have a hacksaw and a drill it will be easy. A file helps to clean up the edges.
