LS1s are a great combo for a R32... just make sure you add a pair of huffers on the side :blink:

yea that's what i was thinking.. i know the ls1 has nice low down torque and would slide nice also but i'd love to go twin turbo ls1 but the kits are in excess of $10k... ill have all the time in the world as i'm losing my license for a while. what would be the approx cost of the ls1 build.. from an r32 NA auto + ls1 + 6spd + custom fabs for the mounts and such?

i got a gen3 with 6speed..

i had a r32...

so many workshops turned me down big name shops, cause they told me balance of car would be way out..

i had a budget of 20k as i already own the gen3, i no alot of stupid money but it was a project and i allowed at least 8k for just front end setup, and still alot of workshops turned me down..

i was very disapointed and it turned me off..

they all reckon the s15 or 14 silvia with the gen3 in it is so far off balance its a miracle it can drift the way it does..lol jelousy now i think about it....

do it man it would be an absolute street weapon, and with turn a whole freeway up in smoke at 120km's

yer but honestly i cant sit there an argue with a workshop owner and end up leaving my pride and joy in there hands, its like im forcing them to do something there jelous of..

kunts, but if your good on the tools and you do have the time, i say do it, but once you start to look into it, you cant spare any cash on the front end setup..

i cant find any pics of the silvia gen3, but it showed the whole front setup an fabrication, its like a work of art..

if only i had the time, i realy cant stay up till 12, 1 in the morning these days my day time job is to demanding, lol but f*k im thinking about it once again...

haha yea it's like that ay.. i work 7 days a week atm and it's a struggle!

I've just been watching vids and there a bloke called mikespeed with a blown ls1 s13 and it's farking nuts!!! but then i'd also love to just build a really solid rb and that would be easier.. ahh i dno what to do yet.

how will it effect the balance enough to matter... the weight difference is marginal at best (ls1 lighter than rb)

honestly i only started to research the project after i gave up with wanker workshop owners giving me the bullshit lines.. it got to a stage were i had to bring 6k cash in my hand to show the bastards i wasnt lieing..

but after a bit of research and talkin to a few guys it is possible and if the front end is done properly, you wont have to maintain the thing forever..

but either way big dollars but good results...

What are the costs for a similar setup when one has an ls1 with associated oil leaks, an r33t car, 4 stock 33t turb's working.. no piping work, exhuasts appropriate manifolds, gaskets, lines etc... management....

?

if you go to the trouble of getting an ls1 into a 33... you may aswell add the stock 33t turbs of the side... a pair of t3's should work nicely for a lower boost mod... internally stock ls1...

I know it's been done.... I would have preffered a savage na 91 ron monster 33 but for 10c more I could have something that eats more money...

seriously though... what costing involved? as a REAL project for someone good with thier hands... modest budget and space available for hte thing to sit there until it is ready for use?

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
