fancy engine swap Phunkey....they are cheap to build, engine owes me $5000 without the manifold. boys tuned a 6litre a month ago, camshaft, valvesprings and tune = 310kw.

Sounds awesome Stu, pity my clubbie doesn't sound like that!

Your car makes me re-think my deision to stay with my SR and not just put an LS in there, would have cost me a hell of a lot less that's for sure, and would probably end up being more reliable too. :rolleyes: Oh, and I'd probably be able to drive it by now!

Mine has LS1 edit, stock sized-custom exhaust and a K&N panel filter and makes 233rwkw's... very easy power indeed.

i am very happy so far. I will be extactic after the SAU trackday if everything holds together and the car performs well.

so far its just a noisy (mind you good noisy) V8 that makes good power. still might be better suited for drifting, god forbid ive yoused the D word.

That is simply mint.... you should be proud Stu >_<

pretty cheap too, $4k will buy you a complete LS2 6.0l brand new. Has alternator, water pump, balancer, steer pump compressor, and coils, throttle body everything.

Since this build has started ive started buying street machine mag again..and keep noticing those brand spanking LS2 Crate motors or Fords DOHC 5.0L lol

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
