R32 Ls1 Conversion

[richie$$$rich]

A timing chain and pushrod?

Did you buy this engine from a museum?

LOL , Funny thing is that the Ls1 has 6 bolt mains, Tuff as motor. very light as well!!!

Got my vote!!!

[BezerkR32]

Finished fuel system today, also fitted seat, harness, fire extinguisher and window net. starting to take shape.

I can sit in it and pretend now...

[JAS-25T]

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!

getting very excited for this one!

It's a custom job with the appropriate yokes at each end. Are you really using a 6.2L LS3?

Yes, I was thinking about LS2, but the LS3 was only $1000 more, and between 500 and 550 HP. The wheigths are the same, and transmission are the same.

Im hoping the car would be ready for next season of drifting...

Im from Norway. I found a company from the US that sells the LS3 500-550bhp and Tremec T56 transmission, wiring and computer and all, for $10.700

In norway, thats a lot for that money.

That seems more than reasonable for a new engine and box! Provided you could get it over to Norway cheap enough it sounds like a bloody good deal.

[BezerkR32]

Far out. $11000 is a lot of money, but when you sit back and actually look at what you get for your dollar its well worth it. If you were to compare it to an RB25, you would pay $4500 for a manual front cut, and then have to spend $15000 to make between 400 & 500hp.(Thats if you payed someone to do it) It is the sensible choice. In my case i didnt spend any where near $11000, but my engine is a 5.7 and i have spent $5000 on it to make 450hp. But any way you look at it, dollar wise it seams a good choice. Now it just has to perform. Its no good it being cheaper if it goes like a 253ci red motor. Rather the RB any day. Time will tell. at least it will sound tough, nobody can ever take that away. There is no arguing that the turbo motors make excellent power, but at what cost. maybe 2rismo could give us some idea how much it costs to have your RB25 make 500hp. Or maybe he shouldnt say infront of his wife....... sorry mate

Looking great!

What is the size of the radiator you are using?

I just started on my project, so I'm gathering some information...

[BezerkR32]

the radiator is a PWR unit to suit r32 gtr, i just had them modify the outlet size to suit the ls1.

i also had them discard their fan bracket as i prefer to fabricate a full shroud.

The radiator looks great but the nitrous solenoid hidden in the space in front of the driver's side front windscreen looks nicer!

[Eug]

yokohama A539s on the right side and a different tyre on the left side

more snappy snaps please haha... love this section of the forum

[2rismo]

Lol @ Eug. The tyres are great for rolling it around the workshop. Not that Stu can even do that seeing as how he LOCKED HIMSELF OUT OF THE WORKSHOP TODAY!!

Sorry Stu, couldn't help myself!

[foney]
