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

    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
    • I have seen enough fire and brimstone from TSBs about roloc disks causing spun bearings that foreign object contamination is top of mind for me. For sufficiently large particles you might be right but usually it’s a distribution of debris and some of the larger particles can also break down and shed bits. If local shops report RTV contamination in a turbo is enough to wreck them I’m taking zero chances if I can help it.
