Well, After a long 2-1/2 yrs, the wife finally got to turn the key on her car.
I still have to finish the gauges up under the cowl hood, bleed the brakes, drain water and put in coolant, and some other misc stuff then get her down to Shortuning for the dyno tune. Looks like we may just make it to the shootout with the car.


Big thanks to:
BP Automotive
Shortuning
EFI Connection
Competition Automotive and Machine
Cammotion
Jacob-neighbor (only if I knew his s/n on here)
And the LTxTech members for info & props on stages of my build.

24x, 383 LTx

Yep. The nice part about having electric pumps. You can prime everything with out starting it. Pushed about a half gallon through lines then hooked it back up and bled air through schrader valve. Also jump wired w/p to bleed cooling system and filled with hot water for quick warmup.

Yeah, EWP rocks for doing that.

I thought it was idling smooth until the end when you stopped giving it gas and then heard that bad boy lope. Sounded great and your engine bay looks NEW. You didn't post any step by steps on the 24x? I'm about to tear into mine and start the 24x conversion, but can't find any how to's on it. I guess I'm going to learn the hard way, but it doesn't look to be to hard. The wiring is the part that scares me.

It's actually very easy. Especially on an F-body. I'm helping my neighbor do his 95 Z too. B-bodies are the hard ones.
Anything you need to know, just ask.
But the best advice I can give you is call Bill @ BP Automotive. EFI Connection designed the system, Bill mastered the wiring. Definately save / invest in a new harness.

Since you're a 93, trans setup will be different. But as for the motor stuff. If you need a parts list, let me know. It's easy.

Oh ya, I called Bill a few weeks ago and ordered a new harness. A matter of fact I need to call him. lol The main reason I when with him is everyone raved about him here and he is a sponsor for LTXtech. Got to keep the money in the family.
