Twin Turbo Ls1 Replaces Rb25 In A Laurel And It Is Off Racing.


Recommended Posts

A mate had an LS1 in his workshop that was bound for a different project but he had the shop Drift car sitting their with an empty engine bay so this is what happens after a lot of work.

I wont quote the Dyno figure but it is high as I don't have a copy.

It was originally an RB20DE a long time ago and last motor was an RB25DET in it for local Drift rounds, radiator is in the boot which is why their is a Nitrogen bottle their, it is also running a 6 Speed Getrag.

Everything was made in house no buying a bolt on HKS Turbo kit then thinking you deserve to get into HPI.

I did make the comment about using a VQ45 but as one of the boy's said a piston goes the car will be running the next day quite easy, a motor blows and these days it is $3,000 for a brand new crate motor sitting on a shelf in Perth not ringing all over the place chasing a motor.

This isn't new territory so why reinvent the wheel at great expense as you would say, same as the 1JZGTE S14 they built in HPI the other month it was a stock motor making 600plus at the wheels, motor blows just grab one of the spares off the shelf as cheap and tough enough.

Jash has too much money :)

Far from it when you know what other workshops spend on cars (or convince their customers to spend), who built it for him, what was fitted from when it was a Drift car, were the money was spent and were it wasn't you will see what I mean, as you can see from this photo taken yesterday no flash LCD dash telling him things he doesn't need to know and it is running the OEM computer not one worth more then the car.

Jash builds cars to show you what he can do before he offers his service to his customers, other workshops build cars with customers money selling parts they stock then take the glory for it, not many WA workshops prove them self by doing the R & D on their own cars.

Because on the East Coast this is the only way to get a true name and a good reputation in modifying cars not tick and flick in a HKS catalogue or strip a car built in Japan.

That is the Dyno figure but as I said I didn't want to post it because with out proof you know what happens so I will just agree with you to the 780HP.
