My LT1 weight-loss program
 
Step one:

-Traction Control Accelerator Cable Controller Removal
-Cruse Control Module Removal

My Non-TCS Accelerator cable came in so I was able to do some work in this nice weather. Only was able to work for a hour before I started to get sick again....

Before:

After:

Next up is the STB, A/C, ABS, some of the interior...

EDIT: As expected, "ABS INOP" and "TCS OFF" lights are on. Ill get those tuned out when I get my new rear gears.

sweetbmxrider 04-17-2009 10:12 PM

nice man. is it possible to remove the traction control but retain the abs and have it be functional? do you need a new abs computer that doesn't have t/c?

LTb1ow 04-17-2009 10:14 PM

Aha.

Ohhhh your in for it now....

Edit: ahh feck, can't enjoy this, your deleting ABS too... damn. LOL


Looks good though, makes adjusting rockers hellavlot easier.

I'm fairly certain that just TCS can be programmed out. It was on the questionaire for PCM4Less.

LTb1ow 04-17-2009 10:23 PM

Yea, its a whole other table in the PCM for timing and what not. So your running a proportioning valve now?

not yet. When I pull the ABS I will be putting one in. I only got that done before I started to get sick again.

LTb1ow 04-17-2009 10:30 PM

Hmm, ok darn, was hoping you would figure out how to run ABS minus the ASR.

JerzLT1 04-17-2009 11:43 PM

i dont think you can just tune out the ABS light, could be wrong though

LTb1ow 04-18-2009 07:52 AM

Yes you can, its called removing the bulb. ;)

He is deleting the whole system so it won't matter either way.

JerzLT1 04-18-2009 10:27 AM

I just removed all of the abs and power brake components. swithed to manual brakes using the strange mopar style master cyl. Picked up an adapter plate from Ed Quay race cars to mount it to the firewall. He had told me u don't need a proportioning valve just replumb the the car. He had built 6 D/SA camaro's with this set-up and work fine

Step 2:

-AC Compressor, condenser, dryer and lines.
-Front Sway Bar
-STB

Next I tackle the interior. I know this isn't much but its a starting point.

ar0ck 04-21-2009 06:20 PM

It really looks good Tim, you have me thinking about a non TCS set up but keeping cruise.

LTb1ow 04-21-2009 10:14 PM

Aha, when you figure that jigsaw out Alex, you let me know....
