Thread: gen v support mods

what support mods are needed to run a gen v. all i got now is a intake and iridium plugs.

nothing? just get the LIM and the Gen V. and adapter plate for your TB

sweet alright thanks. sounds really easy i wonder why alot of others havent done it

monies

Might want headers.

Don't need headers but will definitely help...kill some knock that you way have with the stock 3.8.

Sure dont..L67/L32 have the same heads. I believe the valves are suppose to be a tad bit bigger in the L32..Correct me if in wrong...But not enough to make a noticeable difference or be worth the hassle.

L32 has bigger and lighter valves.

Corrected! Appreciate that!

so id basically be fine with a intake then. id get a tune tho prolly send it to someone on here. but all i need would be a tb adapter and lim?

You can mod your LIM to fit the gen v. The vacuum routing is different as well i believe.

Matt, there are a few threads on here that tell you everything you need to do to pull off the swap. Ive been reading up on them because i hope to be doing this soon too.

They are such a tiny difference you can barely tell.

You'll need to plug the evap hole on the gen V, an egr block off plate will work. Might as well get a n* tb since you have to get an adapter. The gen V 3.8 pulley is like a 3.6 on a gen 3, so whatever supporting mods you'd need for a gen3 w a 3.6 is what you'll want for the gen V. A couple of the gen V bolts are a little longer I think, so make sure you get the gen V bolts.

Switch to coper plugs, even before the conversion, coper is better with the supercharger.

If you stick with the L67 TB, you can keep the Gen V evap and just hook to it instead of your original. Otherwise, I'd put a 90 degree barb in there and run your original evap to that. It's not better, just cleaner IMO than running to the front of the TB.
