She's Alive!

[DOHC_tuner]

Well im posting this just to let all the LD9 fans know....my hybrid LD9/LG0 Quad started with no valve to piston action. I was very eager to start her up that I did not wait to install the header which is being welded as you read this. I found a way to make the LD9 fuel rail and line run around the LG0 cam tower and steering pulley.

Thus I installed the injectors and the intake manifold. I just wanted to start it and hear her run or hear her miss....but she did not miss. Actually it ran @ 3000 RPM's but I did not let it drop since I did not have the cooling system hooked up. So I turned it off before she got hot. But she did not turn off on her own. So I need to find out why it was @ 3000 RPMs...maybe once it idles it'll drop.

I managed to make the Quad power steering fit on the LD9 with no modifications. So now all thats left is to get the header back and install.....get the manifold dipped in chrome....install the water outlet....hook up the cooling system.....then tune with HPtuners and go from there.

I just wanted to let everyone know the 086 head and H.O. cams will work on an LD9 block with no issues as far as piston and valve loving.

Thanks for reading and enjoying LD9 modding!

if it idles at 3000rpms you have a vacuum leak.

I didnt have all the bolts on the manifold...so that could be it. Also i didnt install the t-body gasket. I did it quick just to hear her run and see if it would miss. So now I just need to get the studs for the manifold so I can bolt it right. Then I will start it again.
