Just another LQ9 swap

[99kon]

I'm working on the wiring today and it's a complete rats nest!! If this thing fires up on the first try it will be a miracle! I'm still trying to figure if there's anything I should do about the returnless fuel setup cuz as of right now, I only have the supply side hooked up. Does this engine just not need to return fuel? I don't get it. I have yet to see a write up about it. Hopefully I'll be able to fire it up by tonight! Straight headers though, no exhaust yet lol and does anybody know how to change the orientation of photos that you upload? I've just been using the uploaded on the forum instead of photobucket.

You need the corvette return fuel filter. Has 2 ins and 1 out. On the part facing the rear of the truck it will have 2 ins, one is for fuel supply and one is the return. On the part facing the engine it will only have 1 out and that is what gets connected to the engine.
This is what you need!

That was an awesome tip, I really appreciate it. I haven't heard anybody talk about using the LS1/6 filter. Hopefully somebody else running a returnless fuel line setup will find this info.

That filter/regulator combo is routinely referred to as the Corvette filter/regulator. If you look around this site a little, you will find a list of filter manufacturers and their part numbers for that unit. I believe it was RedHeartbeat has posted some good info about it.

Yea, I found a decent priced one through rock auto so I got that on order. I think that's the last actual piece I need to get my swap up and running. Now if I could just NOT be stuck in the desert (thanks army), I could finish my swap!

The info on the corvette filter for the return less fuel system is on post #2 of the OBS to LSX swap thread. Here's a link in case you haven't read it. But I really hope you have, it has lots of great info in it.

Towards the end, I posted essentially all the links I found useful for the engine swap, heads/cam swap, NNBS intake swap, and A/C stuff. Here's a link to that specific post.

I think I just got lost in a sea of links! Haha! My searches are usually pretty specific and that fuel line situation had me stumped for a minute. It seems it would've been pretty easy to hook up an older engine with return style fuel lines. But now I wonder if I have to cut into my existing lines to hook up the corvette filter. It's not such a big deal if I plan on keeping that intake and fuel rail system stock but if I want to add a F.A.ST. intake and fuel rails down the road (which I do), than I'll have to add fuel lines again. This swap has been a real expensive p.i.t.a., I really hope the added power is worth all the trouble.
