[xtremerevolution]

This will be a rough outline to start, and we can make changes to it afterward. A list of topics, if you will. Some of these were carried over from the XJS-book. No point in re-inventing the wheel. I will update this as I have time, so don't be surprised if most of it is missing. I'll be adding segments as I go along. This will in essence be like a hierarchy. Feel free to make suggestions on additions as we go along.

don;t forget that the 4t65e made it's way into 3100 cars too...

[xtremerevolution]

Above changes have been added.

Can someone provide the codes for the engines I listed and mention any engines that I might have forgotten? The Quad4 for example, though I don't remember the displacement or the engine code, and the 2.8L.

I'd like to arrange the engines by type as well. 60degreeV6, Pushrod, etc.

[MonteCarloDude]

Small port 3100 is the L82 the large port 3100 is the LG8, And the 3400 is the LA1. :cool:

What year cars did those go in? I'm assuming year is the main difference between the large and small port?

[Grand Moff Joseph]

Some engine help:

3400 = L32
3.1L (n/a) = LH0 (VIN T)
3.1L (turbo) = LG5 (VIN V)
2.8L = LB6

Quad 4: It depends...
LD2 = Standard variant, 150hp
LG0 = High Output, 180hp
W41 = Highest Output, 190hp


Also, a few suggestions for the list:
-Add a modification sub-section under "Engine". This can include CAIs (w/battery relocation), dogbone mounts, U/D pulleys, PnP work on manifolds, 3100/3400 top-end swaps, etc.
-Should we possibly devote a separate section for TGPs and/or Cutty Vert issues?
-Under "Interior", perhaps add UB3 swaps, and rear defroster upgrade
-Under "Body", or maybe as its own section, add content on cleaning and care of exterior/interior surfaces? As a detailer, I'll volunteer to write this section.

Does anyone know the difference between the 3100 L82 and the 3100 LG8? Should I list them as two separate engines, or keep them under the same category? Are they significantly different from each other?

L82 is the smallport engine, LG8 is the largeport, Mike already posted that info

Yes, I understand that, as it was already posted. What else is there though. Was there a difference in which cars they were used and during which years they were used?

[BXX]

You should add in a few topics as well


Such as Roberts OBD1.5 to OBD1 swap and my OBD1.5 to OBD2 swap info.

Along with tuning stuff. i.e. HP Tuners, DHP, and others for OBD1

[RobertISaar]

LG8 could be had in VERY late 99 cars, and from 2000-up it replaced the L82.

So for the purposes of this book (Gen1 and Gen1.5), we should be focused primarily on the L82, correct?

Done.

yeah, since it was availible from 93-99 and gen 1 was 88-96/7 and 1.5 was 95-99, pretty much.

Caught me off guard there by modifying your topic, haha.

Your suggestions have been added.


Here's more information I need:

What's the difference in usage year between the 3400 LA1 and L32?

Also, what years was the Quad4 used for in w-bodies, and which engine code applied to those years?

[Grand Moff Joseph]

Quad 4 in Ws:

Engine: LD2
Used in: Cutlass Supreme (90-91); Grand Prix (90-91)

Engine: LG0
Used in: Cutlass Supreme International (90)

[Grand Moff Joseph]

Another suggestion would be a coil-over swap under "Suspension"

[xtremerevolution]

I was thinking of including that in the lowered - rear section, unless you think there would be a better place for it.

That makes sense to me.

since i guess this is the most central thread about it, what needs the most work? i can pound out some stuff fairly quickly, but i need to know what is needed/wanted most.

I have you have time to work on stuff, just pick a topic in the table of contents and write about it. Just create a thread for it.

[RobertISaar]

that's two sections i just roughed out...

BTW, Andrei, the luminas from 90-92 had the option of the 2.5TBI motor(Iron Duke), and the 93 had the 2.2MPFI...

also, i think there were never LN3s in W-cars... the regal is listed as only ever having from the S1 on up...

i think i'll start on "Tuning OBD1" next when i have time...

Technically the LN3 is considered a Series 1, but its different in minor ways. I know for a fact from 93 and earlier they were LN3's, as you cannot get roller rockers for the Series 1 unless its a 94 or 95 year model.

Just if anyone was wondering, progress has slowed down as I have a wedding to plan. Expect content to start coming in toward the end of March.
