make the LS1 look good

[mat vsII]

I recon I would like to relocate the the coil packs and change the rails for some nicer ones. Has anyone got any good pics of the relocated coil packs. And has anyone tried to paint the intake manifold?

The fuel rails look good

Excellent job.
Did you make that harness yourself?
What rocker covers are you running?

[SICK SS]

ive started to extend the wiring loom il put some pics up when its finnished.

passenger side

driver side



will post some more pics when the motors in hopefully tomorrow

[Lumps of cheese]

Looks good.
Would be a tight fit under the abs on the drivers side wouldn't it?

[SICK SS]

yeah a bit they fit in the chassis rail nicely

sorry mate its not my car
my mechanic/tuner is building it(sonny@marranos)
you can buy the wiring extensions or if your handy just make them
but it does require custom made leads
rocker covers are maroso

thought id bring this thread back from the dead instead of starting a new one. just painted the coil packs. what do you guys think?
got a ls6 manifold all sanded back ready for primer tomorrow. i am gonna paint it tiger mica, same colour as the car. also with the manifold will be using aftermarket fuel rails and braided fuel lines.

iv taken my cover off and put the vz covers on, they looked good but don't have any covers atm.
I do like the look of the Edelbrock split covers, there more like a coil cover so just neaten it up nicely from engine picks iv seen with them on.

[Potta9]

This is my ls2 with the edelbrock coil covers they look great and you can hide all the injector harness too.

[VY Rossi]

How hard was it to fit the covers if been told that you need to modify the back of the drivers side one to fit around the brake booster / master cylinder?

[Potta9]

On the ve both sides had to be modified but on vz only one side needs to be done. I put mine on saw where it hit and cut from there.

[cpbait]

That looks tuff as potta9, love the look of those covers, neatest ones iv seen for the ls that hide a lot of the wiring and coils.
There the ones i'm going to get for the VY.

[Potta9]

Took me just shy of 3hours (plenty of testing clearances on the ve) including hiding wiring but looks great.

Hi, This is a pic of my clubsports coil covers, in case anyone was interested in what similar covers might look like on their LS1.

[Munz]

[dijm8]

That's awesome! So neat! Totally makes me look twice under my bonnet, sparking ideas.

I've got the two covers, cheapy "Monaro" ones from feebay. Don't fit properly, had to widen one of the post holes. They look okay, but don't have much definition being black to match the car.
